I don’t want traction. I want to slide and for the tires to last a bit longer. So as hard as possible.

What are yall running?

I am just now getting into the RC world and have been having trouble with motors and ESCs. I bought some readytosky 2205 motors (cheap ones just to test and get familiar with) and some readytosky 30A ESCs. The issue is that the motors came with 2mm banana plugs and the ESCs came with 3.5mm female plugs. Would it be acceptable to take off the 2mm plugs and solder on new 3mm male plugs? Looking forward to expanding my RC knowledge!

Little guy loves the crap department store cars, but I/we want something a little bit more. Any tips are appreciated, under $100 is preferred (don’t need to break the bank), jokes are welcome too.

Cheers

A couple weeks back I asked about the NB4+ for one armed use. Got mine now and printed this adapter at a friends last night, just a prototype but works perfectly for one handed use (I paralysed my left arm years ago). Looking forward to trying it out on track soon. The final version will be properly finished.

I want to get an rc car but im unsure in the direction to go I want to get my boyfriend a gas powered RC car for Christmas. I talked to one of my mechanic friends about it and he told me to go with electric. ( but gave no reason why) I know that my boyfriend would love a gas one for the sound and things of that nature, but are there any specific reasons that you guys have on both That would be better for me to buy in the long run? $ is not the problem I just don't want him to be stressed about it when he first starts using it if there are more problems with a specific one.

I bought one for my son for his birthday & ended up getting one for myself because this is nothing like a Walmart RC & I feel in love with the first throttle. After lots of YouTube videos, I upgraded the shocks & now I’d like to do more. I have a problem understanding these motor types & sizes. Could anyone suggest a good motor and esc that won’t blow this little thing up?

Hello, my wife wants to get into drifting and for Christmas, or shortly after because all our bills are due in the first three days. I plan on getting her a car and a body she or we can paint and make look good together.

She likes a long list of both old and new real life cars so I’m lost at what to get her. I have personally several Datsun and older Skylines bodies which I know she doesn’t like because she has said she doesn’t like them, won’t explain why when asked. I mentioned the Grand National, Monte Carlo, Chevelle bodies and just flatly said no. She used to drive my old BRZ a few years ago when I got a Camaro so I’m leaning towards that, specifically the MST RTR that comes with the body. When it comes to buying stuff in real life she leans towards black; black cars, black clothes, black cats, etc. So it’s weird for her to want something pretty. Is there something that someone can argue is objectively “pretty?”

Looking [DFW] for a 4x4 roller (or preferably brushed) so my 12 year old can swap a brushless system into it and bash it. He built a 2wd spec Slash for his last project and now I'm looking to get him something 4x4 to build and bash

I'm looking forward to the Losi Promoto as a birthday gift, and I'd like to know about its durability. I typically run my RCs in my front yard/backyard, with some street use and occasional trail use as well. I rarely do jumps, and if I do, they're just small jumps, as usual. I haven't really seen a detailed review of the Losi Promoto about its long-term durability. Or should I get a Typhon grom blx and Mojave grom blx?

Im lookimg into getting a mini crawler, the trx4 hightrail takes my eye. Is that good? Whats better?

I’m new and don’t know much have had this car for a long time and maybe a year ago I got a new radio controller and esc from LRP the throttle is everywhere and randomly accelerates full speed and I can’t stop it. Thank you.

What exactly do they call an "act of god", would the battery catching fire count as a smiting??

I recently got a Mini Maxx, and after spending the past year crawling and owning a Slash over 10 years ago, I’ve been bitten hard by the basher bug. I’ve been thinking about getting a bigger-scale basher but can’t decide which route to take. I want the most durable truck possible and have been going back and forth between the Maxx, X-Maxx, Maxx Slash, and XRT.

They all seem great and durable, but I want to know which one can take the most beating and has the best aftermarket support. I’ve heard that with larger-scale models, parts can get expensive quickly, which is why I’m leaning toward the Maxx.

I’m not entirely opposed to other brands but have the most experience with Traxxas. What are yalls thoughts?

TL;DR: What is the best larger-scale basher: XRT, X-Maxx, Maxx Slash, or Maxx?

Back in the hobby and man have things come a long way!
