I had a Monster truck biult a few months back thats been new in a box for 2 years lol

Taken it out 4 times and 3 of those it broke and cost me £80 in repairs

then today tuck it out with two mates and theres they have just purchased and two of us managed to smash me one mates truck up

cost me £34 for a new body shell

and me mate £20 for new suspension as we all work on a bend it ya mend it agreement

Mine didnt break today though

 

Put some pics up mate..

I've had a built Yokomo RC Drift car sitting here for ages, used it once properly, apart from that its had a couple of shakedown sessions on the laminate in the hallway which the dog didnt appreciate.


Cheers,
Grant

 

Ive got no pics from today but a few from befor when i broke it lol

the yellow an blue one is mine and the massive one is Tims

the one we smashed up today, Spuds, is a hellfire HPI









Ive also had a road going one on the shelf for 3 years and we got that fired up today as were doing a track day on the 23rd and thought we could use it at lunch for a crack lol

the red one here is the pone we got fired up after 3 years lol

 

The buggies look great... they're way more useable than the track cars, couple of friends have got them and they're a blast. Feckin noisey things though, the drift car I've got is a slightly uprated electric and is way more quiet than their cars!!

how long to the tyres last on your drift car/

because the ones on my rd car above last like one outing lol

they rip to shreds

 

Minirotty the last 2 times i have taken mine out has resulted in a new reciever due to malfunction which set the throttle open and smashing the wishbone pin, and the last time (sat just gone) has resulted in needing a new driveshaft and wheel.

4 wheels broken in 5 times, needin a set of these i think..

my son wants a nitro car but seeing as though he keeps breaking his elecric one , he can have one when he pays for it........

 

It is an expensive hobby, do you think the brakedges are down to driving skills?

 

not a chance, that jump only looked small, how did i know when doing 40mph it created a 12ft jump

 

 

I've built a HPi Nitro RS4 with a drift conversion kit, still never even used it since the conversion to see if it actually drifts or not (Been built for the last 18 months)

Got the week off work though, so this has reminded me and I'll give it a shakedown one day this week.

 

The tyres on the car I've got are pretty tough mate, I'd say that 7/8ths of them are hard plastic... only the outer and inner edge are rubber, so there's not much to tear away.

Here is a video of the car I bought, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLWq2ujO2aw ...but its being used by someone that really knows what they're doing... its a world apart from my car spinning wildly out of control in an empty multi-storey car park in Dundee.

Rs grant the guy on the left at the start of the video kneeling down is Masami Hirosaka, the best Rc driver of all time, has won more chamionships than anybody else and also the highest paid rc driver of all time.. he's pretty handy with them, just has a weird stance when driving that looks like he is taking a dump lol.

Minirotty.... am I correct in saying thats Frankley??
