Some pics of my brushless B4...

Custom front downforce wing

Feigao 7S brushless motor

Sidewinder ESC

And of course with a TC Cuda body

Custom wheelie bar


Going lipo soon! The DTX 4200 pack in the ESC pic vented a few weeks ago [:@]

the dirt hawgs don't balloon much at all. however I only run a 17t motor. calvino, I think you should give the old gold pan a shot as a runner. the worst that would happen is you'd have a running rc10. it would be fun even if you were just ripin around the driveway.[8D] it's a b3 right? I'm still new at this.

paul_TAB4

nice b4 maxxdout! I like that shell! I heard that sidewinder puts out tones off power. what's your gearing like?

maxxdout

Right now, I believe it is 23/76. Don't know right now, but it's in the ballpark

The wing is also custom lol. My stock one got thrashed really bad so I just made that one really quickly

And yes, the sidewinder is a great ESC! What I like is you can buy the castle link and plug it into your computer and program everything on it!

The whole brushless setup cost me about $130 (motor, esc, and castle link). About the same cost as when I made my mini-t brushless. MUAHAHAHAAHAH!! The new lipo stuff I am getting soon is going to cost about the same as the BL setup. I'll keep you guys updated [8D]

Expect pics soon! Purchased: J Concepts body, metallic blue paint with which back coating paint, MRC Superbrain 960, and a 6 cell ener-g pack matched by smc. My lhs let me take home a used one to see if I liked it for free. If I liked it, I pay 30 bucks for it. If I don't like it, I can buy another brand...nice guy

calvino

its the original RC10 (no added numbers) rly old, older than me for that fact (C. 1980), ive got a CO27 Monster Stock pro to pwr this little sucka, and a friends "borowed" XL-1 ESC, and im using my airplane radio stuff to get it running, but ya, that would be cool, drat, no wing, maybe ill pick up the B4 wing and mount, ya, rear tires are almost bald... so it needs some work, bu other than tires, electronics and wing, it would be a rly cool car to run, i was thinking of some dirt hawgz for the rear sooo it outa be good for onroad and offroad runnin[8D]

Sweet man! Can't wait!

Nice!

calvino

NICE, saw a few sparks commin off z motor or somethin, thats one BAD setp you got, Max, whats with the pink shell, kinda "wierd"

The Hedgehog

The sparks are from the motor guard and the screws on it... I wouldn't risk the motor like that....

I have to put my lipos in this setup now and test it out.

I'll get some pics of mine! I am like you guys, 1/10 buggy is what brought me into the hobby.

Here's a few shots of my buggy. kinda a before and after. Love the Durga. Stock except for Slipper. On the wishlist is hotter motor and upgraded shocks.

thanks!

paul_TAB4

nice thunder tiger autoXman! that thing rips! Before I bought my B4 i wanted this buggy but my lhs wouldn't order me one. (terds)[sm=angry.gif] I'm not sure why? maybe we can't get it in Canada? can anyone recommend a a good radio system for racing?
around $200 bucks. I have looked at the DX2, 3PM, and mx3-fhss, any I'm forgetting?[sm=idea.gif]

paul_TAB4

any one heard of a Tamiya Galaxy? a buddy wants to get rid of it and says it was from the early 80's. I have never seen one, and would love a vintage buggy. nice durga willus!

The Hedgehog

Another radio system that I use and like is the Hitec CRX with the synthesized module. It is ocmpatible with Futaba receivers and hitec receivers (which are cheaper). I bought mine used and a small tab broke on the radio so I sent it in for repair. Hitec went ahead and sent me a whole brand new radio for free. Good customer service.

As for the Thunder Tiger, it is basically a RC10B3, but with a few oddball parts that cannot be found anymore. So once something breaks on this buggy, I will be getting a Durga to replace it.

Got any pics of the Galaxy?

maxxdout

Ha I knew someone was gonna say something! It's actually orange, but the lights in our basement make it look pink. Shoulda changed the settings on my cam for that pic

paul_TAB4

no pics of the galaxy. bit I got a bid in on a 80's rc10t converted to a buggy!! just waiting to hear back. I am very curious what the galaxy looks like. But the guy wants $300! so I'm gonna have to see it first! I can't find anything on the net about this buggy either[:@] .
orange is better than pink maxxdout! lol! still a cool shell.

Here's my baby! Just got the body and painted it in around an hour. The wing didn't have buttons or a wire, so it'll have to be wingless for now :P

Got that SMC ener-g 4600 matched pack for 30 bucks. 1st owner was a Factory SMC driver...good buy imo, I tried it out and it wheelies like mad.

Freshly mounted dirt hawgs.

Also just got a new MRC Superbrain 960. I'm content for now

Peace.

paul_TAB4

wow dude! that shell is seriously slick!! nice tires too. I got that rc10t convert. looks like a bit of a Frankenstein though. lol. I'll have pics up on saturday.

The Hedgehog

I have to look into those dirt hawgs for my buggy. My rear tires are beginning to wear dow, more or less pins. I drive on my street when I am testing a new setup out, and do offroad when I go bash with my buddies. Are the dirt hawgs "ok" at offroad. I don't care if tey are less performing than my pins, as long as they don'tperform like racing slicks ofroad is what I am getting at.

aftermarket

My Feedback: (2)

Yea, but they aren't as good as pins. Just look at it this way. Dirthawgs equal shorter pins that last foreverz

Guys, I'm gona cry. I hit a speed bump and killed my shell. 2 cracks, some scraping, and the front body mount area is ruined. Need a new top chassis...do I just super glue the cracks in the body?

The Hedgehog

Have me airbrush you a new one

calvino

lol, ya, guy + pink shell = [sm=50_50.gif] ya, now it makes more sense, dang that front wing is a good idea[8D], MAN i love that durga, good shell job to (or did it come like that, me ignorant)
