Anybody into nitro r/c's??

[ELVIS]

Those things look like a blast. Last Thursday they had a whole class of them racing.

i know, i cant wait. i paid 159 for the rtr plus 40 for a batterry and 20 for some foams and i will be running on the carpet for like $240. im just glad to have something to do during the downtime beside coming and bothering you and slovanova from prepping your trucks to win again!! see yall tomorrow!

EDIT: i installed the swaybar kit on the slash last night, i hope it makes some kind of difference. i wont have any time to "test and tune" before thursday did you get one yet?

Are you guys running LiPo or NiMH batteries in these?

Lipos on my 4x slash, and like super coupe said, i can run the 2 qualifiers (6mins each)without recharging. plus they run the truck faster, and have more punch. they make a very visable difference over the nihm's

god bless.

Lipo here. In the 2wd truck I can get away with racing twice without charging it and would probably do 3 no problems. Lipo is the only way to go!

IMO, lipos are the only way to go! I run a 1/8 buggy on 4s 30c 4500mah and can run it for 15-20 minutes, no problem. When I had a 1/10 2wd truck I could get about 20-25 minutes on a 2s 30c 5000mah.

I will going to nitro r/c. I will join you on it.

If you are planning to join the Mike's Hobby Shop indoor crowd, don't get a nitro. Only place to run those indoor in the DFW area is at Indy RC in Garland. Mike's Hobby Shop does have a larger outdoor track for nitro vehicles but I don't think they have a regular race program currently going for nitro cars/trucks right now. Also there is a track in Granbury that is open for practice. It is an outdoor track so nitro vehicles are welcome.

So would it help to go a little thicker on shock oils to stiffen it up a little and keep it from rolling as much? Or maybe leaning the shocks over...farther out on the arm and inside hole on the tower???

That would help but not cure it. There is a small whoops section on the track. If you stiffen it up a lot the truck will bounce every which way through them and be very unpredictable. Me and slovanova set our 2wds up pretty soft and they go through them like they aren't even there.

Hurry up and get it dialed in!! I will need some help getting up to speed on 1/10 SC when I get up there and buy one for the Short Course Showdown.

The main problem we are seeing with them is the lack of sway bars. They drive great other than that. I am about to grab some parts and try to piece together some sway bars today

Had a blast again as usual. Elvis you looked a lot smoother! That body looks killer too. I like the paint. Got 4 packs on my new sc10 4x4. First thoughts are is the body roll is ridiculous. Me and slovanova are going to try to make some sway bars for them and seehow it does after that.
