We are about to do a project at school involving rc cars. we can bring in are own and has anyone taken one to school if i do i'm going to try to see if i can take a nitro becuase my electric stampede it in peices with a busted transmition. I think i would be better off taking an electric becuase not much room to go fast and i don't know if he would let us go outside for the nitro car. also for science fair has anyone done a project involving rc cars?

I haven't. I don't think I'd want to take it to my school with all the dumb kids that think its a toy and/or something they could drive, or work on, or fix, or even touch. We have alot of room to run a on-road or off-road though.

I did a science project on what tires are better, i know someone else did one on how a 2 stroke engine works. I want to get a bunch of people together and bash that are from my school.

my school is too dumb, they have to worry about teaching us elementary and middle school level stuff, so they wouldn even consider anything about rc cars

revoskid32

i would love to, but the retards are to stupid to even look in its general direction some1 will try to take it or some1 will mess up my shocks.my teachers suck anyway

motorhead91

EXACTLY....there are quite a few kids at my school that actually have them, and 90% of the rc'ers have t-maxx, and i think everyone has a traxxas, but still, it would be neat, but like i said my school is too dumb

jatoracing33

we quit with science projects, and if wed still do them i would only take my engine in and do a project on engines. i would never take my whole car in

motorhead91

you think they would do it in physics class? lol...so far all my classesare about the same things every year

yea, it'd be cool to have a rc club, but unfortunately I don't think rc is very popular at all in the Cypress area...however, I was in the library the other day and saw a rc driver magazine, that means that someone else is out there...most people wouldn't appreciate the car and work and expense that goes into these things...

REDisFASTER

I'm with just about everyone else. Too many idiots around. You're basically just asking for an expensive mess at the end of the day...

d3d5

yea now that i think about it if some kids in my school found how much its worth they would steel it to sell

phast46

I dont know anyone in my school thats into nitro rc, although on my street my 2 cousins,Dads friend and some other guy are all into nitro cars...So i think 4 other people is enough.

d3d5

i only know 2 people who are into it and my friend wants to get a 4-tec. he wants to an engine from me for $20 becuase he thinks thats all there worth.

motorhead91

they have rc car mags in my school to, and i know there are others, but my fellow students are just.....wow

revoskid32

Yeah, i have like 3 other people out of the 1054 and I'm to scared someone will destroy it.

motorhead91

i would take in a jumk motor so i wouldnt really have to worry about it

d3d5

well now my science teacher wants me to bring in my nitro instead of electric and everyone in my class wants me 2 becuase we will get to go outside then so i might bring in a cheapo nitro or my firestorm not sure

ThorMoto5

I brought in my electrics in middle school and did a science project on suspension. Everyone liked it, Nitro would have been sweet, though

We did a project when I was in school where we had to right down a 15 step process on how to do any6thing of our choice and someone else had to take the instructions and then do it. Well I did mine on "How to rebuild RC shocks" and had my shocks rebuilt by someone in my class. I sat there and watched them do it so they didnt mess anything up and I stayed nice and clean the whole time. It was nice to have someone else clean your shocks and then rebuild them for you, while your watching them. LOL

Hi,
At my school we enter into a competiton called - formula schools. We basicaly build a car from scratch - Chassis, Suspension Ect. And then race it against other schools in england at silverstone racetrace...

wow yea i know for sure that i am the only one with a rc at my grade and maybe in the school but its a small school. i want to bring it in for a class project but idk how it would fit in for that. and we dont have science fairs, and that formula school looks awesome! is it expensive though???

I took my jato to school once, everyone liked it and wanted to drive it, i let 1 person drive it...it wasnt running too good it wasnt shifting but they all thought it was "oh so fast" lol everyone is like how fast is that?? lol i had to do a "How To Project"
