RC cars badddddd

Post by Brian Taylor »

With christmas coming I wanted to buy some things for my 2 sons. I decided to get a digital video for my 10 year old and thought about an RC car for my 7 year old. I did some research on both and wanted to get ones that are good quality. Found a great camera then went to the local Hobby store to buy a Traxxas RC. Bought a Rustler, brought it home opened it to charge battery, BAD idea, I had to drive it. HEHEHEHE fun and I did add some "patina" when jumping the street. Now I have went and bought a second one for my other son. I will give the camera to myself to video them. FYI i have the new one charged and my nephew and I will be pre testing them this weekend. Just to be sure they are ready for the kids at christmas. :mrgreen:

Sounds like an excellent plan. Don't want to give the kids toys that don't work!

Traxxas R/C's are great cars & trucks. I've seen them run through some crazy stuff.

Traxxas is a good way to go for a "hobby level" 1st RC car/truck.
Good support, reasonably easy to repair, upgradeable.
FAR better than one from a toy store or radio shack (no parts support, non upgradeable).
The stadium trucks are my favorite type.
I have a Losi.
Be prepared - this can get almost as expensive as a full size truck..................

Traxxas is a good one. I upgraded my little buggy to the lipo battery and wow what a difference in bat time. Next will be the brushless motor... :twisted: this thing goes fast (without the upgrades) that is for sure.
