I'm gonna go to a few races at QS&L, if I decide to pursue this more I'm def gonna go check that place out. I'm afraid this might be more of a phase I'm going through, want to make sure first. I was heavy into TC years back at B&B and it just slowly wore off and I gravitated to off road instead. I like to jump the RC's more than anything.
I prefer pan cars instead of tourings cars. They are fast enough & cheaper. I run a CRC wgt car with a 13.5 on 1s lipo, with Jaco Lilac foam tires..

Ahhh nice fresh cars always look so pretty! Looks good!

And TC is where its at, off road and jumps is fun but theres nothing like a fast pace door to door battle with 5-6 guys in a race. Pan cars are super fun too! I want a 12th scale again now that we can run lipo in them

Nice choice with CRC. CRC is actually my home track. The guys there are amazing racers and are willing to help.

Finially a Painted Body ! ! !
 
I've ordered a few sets of foams and rubber "knock-offs" for the oval track. Anything will be better than the junky Imex shiz tires I bought. LOL

The hood scoop is off-centered due to the electronics lay out, kinda reminds me of the older SVO 4cyl Turbo Mousestangs.

I used Automotive Urethane Basecoat, Adheres like gangbusters !

That body is wicked. Not everyday I could call a truck body sexy.

Schwizzle!

Bondonutz 08.05.2010 09:03 PM
Wow, Thank You brother ! Glad you like it, I appreciate the nice compliment.

I feel much the same about your home built MT, looking to see more of it !

Nice scoop!

You won't miss that Imex crap

Sweet ride Jeff...I always wanted a t/c for p-lot bashing, but with no one else around me interested, haven't pulled the trigger. Gets boring after a while racing by yourself

Bondonutz 08.06.2010 06:42 PM
Thanks again guys.

Brian, I'm hearing ya on that. I built a TC4 for drifting last year (http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21595) and I was really enjoying it but I to soon fell to boredom because no else picked up on it.
At least this time I'll be racing with a bunch of friends and should stick with it for a while ?

Parking lot bash/racing is much more fun with a 1/8 or 1/7 scale t/c. I have a lightning street, basically a hb buggy with a longer wheelbase. It was tons of fun with the smelly 26 nitro mill, and when I finally get the 1527 in there on 10s-12s with mech brakes and the 2 speed center drive it should be alot more fun...

Most of the guys who race in p lots run mugen mrx-3 on road. I have one of those as well..just need to send it to Mike for some love when funds allow. I have been trying to convince them to try t/c...seeing as they have not used their mugens in 2 years.

How is the top speed on your car on 2 and 3s..just curious

Bondonutz 08.06.2010 08:02 PM
My TC5 is geared low for the oval track with 70' straights.. I'm sure even with the VXL 3500kv with 87/22 and 3s it would be silly fast but I have yet to try it.

ANGRY-ALIEN 09.28.2010 10:03 AM
Hey Bondonutz, how is this project going? did you get any vids of it in action yet?
