any RC car enthusiasts?
i was hoping for some advice on a good RC car kit. back in the day i used to build RC cars and had fun with them, now i have kids and wanted to share the fun with them…back then the kinda go to car was the associated electrics RC10. i was wondering if this is still a good kit, or if some other car has come along to replace it as the top dog. i also used to build some tamaya kits like the grasshopper..but i remember the AE cars being of better build…
anyway, any pointers?
Go with HPI they have 1-1/0, 1/8 and 1-/16 scale models. Wow the RC10 was an oldie but a goodie but technology has moved on.
Traxxis rtr kits and brushless upgrade
im liking the traxxas kits…the resemble the old rc10s to some degree, and I seem to remember the name from a while back too.
im thinking of something like Amazon.com
any thoughts on this kit?
what kind of radio gear would you go with?
and why not this?

comes with brushless motor and radio gear… cheap
That traxxis one is nice the thing I like about them is repair peices are cheap… Well I’d get a rtr kit as its everything and since almost all are brushless ready with the esv? I’d go that route. Definetly will need a. Wheelie bar even without brushless upgrade… I work for a john Deere dealership and a few years ago they had a big 1/10 scale 4wd remote control tractor and I procrastinated until they weren’t available anymore but my intentions were to strip it and make a 4wd brushless crawler out. It…
Another thing lipo batteries seriously things are awesome but never charge in attended… They maybe better now but even 4 years ago they were sketchy and not uncommon for them to ignite while charging
Also a very inportant thing is if your going to be driving on mostly grass get the proper gear or else you’ll start burning up motors
Great advice thanks!
