honestly, I wouldn't get the ceramic. Yes I have boca bearings in stock, but we dont use the ceramic. The black sealed are great.

Yes spectrum is the way to go. Futaba also has the fast system which is the 2.4 ghz also. I still prefer the spectrum.

If your in a remote area just a good little FM 2 channel is fine but if your going to upgrade and add more RC cars and trucks to the same radio system then get one of the 2.4 gightz models and you won't have to look back.........if you like any of the Airtronics models PM me I'll hook you up[:-]

Thanks man. I was having a heck of a time hunting it down.

hibityhupla

Why not ceramics? I heard they were the best you could get. I don't actually know but that's what I heard. The only bearings I end up replacing all the time are the ones in the clutch bells and tranny. What is the most common bearing size? I noticed the ones on the outer part of the wheel hubs are the same as the tranny and clutch bell.

I'll probably just get the spectrum radio set. Supposed to be good and looks pretty cool. At least I wouldn't confuse all my controllers.

so I ran some cars yesterday and clocked them. It was on a slight incline so there probably not top speeds and it was done with a $80 Bushnell radar gun so I'm not sure how accurate it was but here's what i got.
Stock smartech-28-30mph
Upgraded smartech-46-50mph
Hurricane-38-42mph
revo-39-43mph
jato-45-49-----wasn't shifting to second and tranny went out before we were done
IRC vulcan-20-25mph
bb pro with 18/23t bell and 18cv-rx-42-46mph
bb pro with 18/23t bell lightning tranny and o.s.cv-rx-52-57mph
Like I said it was done with a cheap Bushnell gun and we were going up a slight incline so I'm not sure how accurate they are but it's what i got.

What's a good radar gun?

Hey guys, Can you guys name a few indoor rc cars for me? I need it under $100s and very durable to be able to go off of jumps. I only know of the micro t.

hibityhupla

I looked around ebay and found these.

IRC Photon 1/16- $280
Tamiya tamtech 1/16 (lots of styles) $160-$180
enRoute Lynx 1/16-200
They are all electrics but look like decent cars for goofing off inside.

hibityhupla

Maybe an xmod? I see they are going for pretty cheap and they sell lots of upgrades but I know nothing about them. I went from $50 walmart specials to dumping $1000 into nitro cars So I don't really know much in the range your talking.

newdoughboy

Not a lot of micro t on sale on ebay. I want to get some that can have extra batteries. I may just give up and just buy something cheap from walmart or radioshack

hibityhupla

I found quite a few on ebay. How did you search? I just typed in "losi mini" and searched under "radio controlled vehicles".


New question????????? Do they make different sized clutch bells that will work on the 1/8 hurricane? The teeth are different then the ones on the bb. (bigger)

hibityhupla

sorry my bad. I didn't know there was a mini-t and micro-t. I just saw that ones 1/18 and the other is 1/32 i think.

dominicevans

has any one here ever thought about using avgas in there rc car or truck?....i heard it works well

hibityhupla

I thought the oil content was higher. Might just be like using a break-in blend fuel.

dominicevans

it will probably work but there might be more smoke

ehroof

true avgas is meant for real planes, i wouldnt try it, its meant for planes at high altitude flying. stick to nitro fuel, dont take the chance.

I have the micro t and put the losi lipo in it.. killer. I will have to post some vids. We will be racing the micro's in my store on mondays.

tyhodge07

clearmont you getting the losi brushless for the micro gettin ready to be released?

Chubbysdad

My Feedback: (1)

yes sir. With the lipo you dont need the brushless but i am going to try it. The lipo is sick. 21mph. wheelie at any speed. All the 1/18ths and 1/36ths will be going on my site this week.

tyhodge07

cool.. ill have to check them out.. [8D]

Chubbysdad

My Feedback: (1)

they are tough to keep in stock. I get a shipment in one day and they are gone the next. Once they see mine with the lipo in it, they buy the car and the lipo lol... thats all I do now... play all day
