[suicideneil]

I built my dream Rcs:

TXT-1 with all the optional aftermarket parts you can dream off, and BL power (albeit novak since the MMM didnt exist at the time).

GorillaMaxx with all the aftermarket parts you can dream of and BL + lipo power = my current truck.

Im living the dream....

this is a cool thread topic. i am gonna have fun with this.

i agree with Neil. i have built, or am building my dream RCs. although i can still say i have a couple of dream RCs that will be down the road sometime.

currently i am building a custom carbon fiber RC8T 1515 1.5D/F, 5s, MMM, and many custom upgrades. gonna be the sexiest rc8t out there

also, upgrading my 75mph Schumacher 3spd. one of my dream RCs. back when i drove nitro and had a HPI Rs4 evo3 i used to dream about having a on road car that could do at least 50mph and not have to worry about a stupid carb and glow plug and roto start blah, blah, blah. well that was 5 years ago and now i have one. its a Schu GTRe, 3spd, 3s 3200mah, Castle 5700kv. lots of fun.

and as posted i have a on road 1/5 that i have yet to convert. waiting to finish the RC8T first. hoping to turn the on road 1/5 into 2wd burnout smoking 65mph brushless racer on 10s and 1527 Neu.

My brushless Losi 8t i would have to say is about as good a truck as i could ask for. Tough as hell, low maintenance, does 60mph and looks great doing it with upgrades galore. you can view thread if u search "Losi 8t build pics"

But for the Dream projects that arent in the garage yet...hmm...so many choices...

1. a brushless 100mph Serpent 950R

2. brushless 4wd baja 5t, 10s, MGM, and 2215 Neu

3. a 4ws super scale crawler. just barely picked up an issue of "RC Crawler" for the first time and i ust say that i am now sold on building a badass crawler. but i want one that can crawl and throw rooster tails. ha!

those are 3 that i would say are my "dreams" for now. hopefully they will be reality in the next few months. i always look at parts online and stuff and look forward to the day when my wallet recovers from all my current projects so i can start on these 3. its gonna be a while. oh well, at least i have something to look forward to.

That thing in my avatar is as close as I'm gonna get. I'm gonna be shamelessly egotistical on this one and say I did what I set out to do ;) and I wanted to make something like MutantMaxx when I was a kid.

And yes it will slaughter almost any RC remorselessly.. my running joke is that I hope it never gets hit by a Geo, the Geo would be totaled :)

It's the best of all wheeled RC worlds, all terrain all weather plastic RC destroyer. It's my only RC surface vehicle and it takes the place of 5 or 6 (saves room) and it's a blast.

You guys have been a big help- thanks again!

My dream would be a super reliable 6x6 truck, I've got one in the works, so just hold tight and we'll see what comes of this plan.
PS: Anyone got 2 lst wheels and tires with the solid tread?

[TexasSP]

An 8th scale M1A2 Abrams, all metal.

Cost would start at around 3k......

My realistic dream in process is a scale trail truck with some good crawling ability, only in the planning stages right now.

[killajb]

I sort of took the route that Redshift did.. and had an idea for a dream basher and just went for it. Converted Revo 3.3, Tekno conversion, 1515 2.5D, RPM arms, Vantage chassis, Robinson Racing fwd only diff gears, OEMRC esc with Sportbec BEC, ACE servos and huge 7"wheels.

Despite all of my brushless conversions (4 now), I cannot state how fun this one has been. I usually run on 6s and the esc never even warms up. Once I get some steel CVDs I may try up to 10s and see what happens. As of now, I notice the center to rear plastic drive shaft shows signs of being twisted.

Working on my dream one now.....

HPI Baja 5T truck, NEU 2215 and HV110 on 12S.

let me know how that turns out. as you can see i listed as one of my "dream rcs" a brushless 5t on a Neu 2215. have you started a thread? any pics?

Jeremy1976:

I use the MMM in my Hyper 8 with a 1515 2D, I have a Sentilion OEMRC esc in my Revo now. That picture was taken before those changes.

[Takedown]

Mine would have to be an MCD Baja 1000 converted on 12s FP 5000's, Lehner 30/80 10turn, Kontronik Jazz 63v ESC, Mega Infinity 960-SR charger, Aluminum/CF upgrade kit and a Futaba 4pk.

Thats my dream setup.

[trev3813]

I just want a revo, is that too much? LOL

[Unsullied_Spy]

I've been dying to get myself a HPI Baja for a while, but since we're talking dream RCs I'd go for an electric Baja. I'd go with a Neu 2230 3Y on 20S lipo and a CC SHV controller (probably go for the 200, even though I could use a smaller one).

A MLST with metal internal diff gears, and metal gear servos.
