Tomson Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Apart from my pride and joy I also dabble in RC. Mostly Nitro and my 1/5 scale 2-Stroke, however, not many others are into it around my area so I end up thrashing the local fields alone... anyone else here into RC? Cars, planes, drones etc? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I gave up doing 1/8 buggy and truggy stuff. Moved onto 1/5 scale for a while. Started off with a Baja SS kit and also a losi 5T. I absolutely loved my Losi stuff, had spares for absolutely everything and barely ever needed any, bearings were the most common failures. The losi 8ight buggy and truggy took some beatings every weekend too! Ive had various other bits n pieces and electric stuff in between. Got kinda bored of them and moved onto helicopters. Still have a few of those, biggest one is a blade 450x. when I was younger, my dad used to scratch build all sorts of model boats, machine parts etc. I won the Scottish steering and docking championship back in 2005 lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Before I had a licence to drive I had a 1/6th scale nitro methane R/C car with 2 speed gear box 😁 The two speed gearbox changed up automatically as the revolutions for faster. It's purpose was mainly for two tone exhaust sound effect. cost me an absolute fortune and I wrote it off doing 75mph hit a kerb lifted off the road and crashed in to a wall shattered the Mitsubishi evolution 6 shall 😉 buckled front drive shaft, split both front shocks cleanly in half and curved the chassis. Sold it for parts after that.😧 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
