Next project?
 

What should I buy/build for about $500?

A brushless electric boat! Or a disco ball for your dancing banana!

1. No lakes around here where they permit R/C boats.
2. I already have one on order!

umm on a unserious note, that was funny with the disco and banana, lol, but what car/truck/buggy you like? go get it. lol simple

I'm thinking about a T4 with a J-82 conversion.

Maybe a TXT?

That's a good idea!

500 hmmmm you could send it to me and ill get a truggy converted.
Well... I say go to the LHS and see what they have and just buy the you like most.

a neu and a 2.4rx/tx for the st pro

Well, I sorta need to know beforehand. They have every car under the sun but it's a tad overpriced and they match any price you can find online. So, if you print out your low price thing from any place but eBay, they match the price.

im feelin the txt...

I think I'll hold onto the hacker for a little while. I'm dying for a DX3R, so I may just get that.

over 500 but a baja 5b would be sweet

The 5b is a bit slow, IMO.

really??? Huh, i have seen some really really quick ones, although they had 30.5cc with a pipe. Also someone on here converted one and it seemed ok. Ah well. The TXT sounds good

How durable are the TXT's?

18th scale BL

Too small.

I personally could not input on this, but have heard some good things on them. really all depends on availability of parts to you i guess. I can break anything so parts availability is a must for me.

here is a decent review - http://www.everything-rc-cars.com/61-tamiya-txt-1.html

Slow, not reaching speeds over 5mph.


haha if the 5b isnt fast enough how will this work out for him?

i do realize it is for crawling but if that is true.... id think itd get boring

Get some more money and get a kyosho mp9 when it comes out ..

Yeah i personally would not do a txt cause it is not my style but they do look cool.

just read that thread lincpimp what motor do you like to run in the disco ball ??

neu 1527 on 12s....that should get it going at least.

No. I run a lehner 3080 on 20s. It's not really enough for my ball.

maybe the baja 5b clones?

1 word. Fugly.

invest in oil stock

are you talking about the 5b clones??

exact same minus the brand name, and perfect for your budget

Hmmm... I might look into those. It looks like I'm going to get a 8ight as of now.

Haven't seen one of them run yet but they do look sweet. Xtreme RC did a review on it this month, can't wait to read about it. We get mags 1 month late in Australia :whip:

Ouch. J82 or 8ight..... Hmmmmmm......

you talking 500 just for the kit or 500 for kit, motor, esc, and battery????

Well, I'd like to get most of it for $500, but I can get more if need be.

Rc10t4 Ft kit, sidewinder esc, feigao 380c/ 1509 and 2s lipo!

Why only 2s?

Canned food.

I'm not a doomer, but things are NOT looking good.
