RE: warhead any good ?

Some guys love em, most others hate em. Duratrax tends to market to the newbs and from what I have seen, they actually are harder for a newb to learn on (my first car was a Duratrax Streetforce). ...

RE: Monster GT anyone have one?

I agree with Farnknben on the pricing issue. One thing I have learned throughout my career and personal life, is that an initial high price on any item whether it be parts for RC, or pretty much...

RE: Monster GT anyone have one?

RE: Monster GT anyone have one?

Thanks snobl!nd. I have already done the 4-channel mod and am considering the braking mod. I'll wait to see how much brake I have stock before I do that one.

One thing I did notice, is that...

Well, as they say, Santa drives a brown truck and yesterday I received my MGT. First thing I can say is holy crap! This thing is freaking huge. I hadn't seen one in person before and didn't...

RE: Monster GT anyone have one?

Hello all. I just wanted to say high and that you'll probably be hearing from me from time to time with a few questions.

I ordered my MGT from Tower on New Year's Eve and it should be here by...

RE: E-Flite Blade CX2

You probably could direct from Horizon, but by the time you bought all of that, you could have bought a complete package cheaper than just what you are wanting.

Your $20,000 car has about...

RE: New Walkera 50 gas heli what do you think?

I believe the transmitter is loosely based on the JR8103. The heli looks like a Raptor clone with the flybar arrangement being over the main rotors.

I admit the price is appealing but looking...

RE: Reducing clevis to servo horn slop?

I had the same problem on my Cap232. The easiest fix for me was to fill the hole in the horn for the clevis pin with epoxy and then re-drill it to match the size of the clevis retaining pin.

RE: Just Finished my WM Cap232-46...

I wonder if putting in some rubber wheels vs. the included foam wheels would help the landing gear issue as they would give more and not make touchdowns so harsh. I hate those foam wheels that WM...

RE: Just Finished my WM Cap232-46...

Glad to hear it's only the cowl. You'd be screwed if more damage was done than that as the new color scheme is pretty ugly.

I maidened mine this weekend and I am really going to enjoy this...

RE: world models cap 232 46r!!! omg!!!

That is pretty ugly. I just finished mine a couple of days ago and took some pictures of it showing the old color scheme with Castrol on it. You can see it here:

RE: Is the Caliber 30 aerobatic??

If you want more cyclic response, then you can put on some different paddles. Also, are you by chance running an OS32 b/c I have heard that it doesn't have a whole lot of extra power.

and I hope it flys as good as it looks! It is a very sharp looking model and a steal at $120 with fiberglass cowl, pre-painted pilot (Vietnamese Burt Reynolds look-a-like), and wheel pants (although...

RE: Radio requirement

You don't want to start the Futaba vs. JR war do you? Some people love JR. Some people love Futaba. It all depends on who you ask. FWIW, I use the 7C and chose it over...

RE: WHAT WOULD BE A GOOD SECOND PLANE?

I'll suggest the H9 Twist. It's cheap ($99arf), fun to fly and can do anything you can throw at it. Put a 46 in it and it will hang on the prop with proper throttle management. Put a Saito 82 for...

Yes. I currently run Hi-Tec receivers in all my stuff even though I use a Futaba 7C transmitter. Your 9C is modulation selectable so if the receiver is PCM, just be sure to change the modulation in...

Excellent choice. In fact, your setup is identical to mine except that I have a Caliber 5 instead of a 30. The 7CH will last you for a long time before needing anything more. The 401 can't be...

RE: century hawk pro?

Don't mean to burst your bubble here, but if $700 is your max, then the ultimate combo from Tower won't even get you in the air. You still need fuel, fuel pump, glow plug igniter, and starter with...

No it's not fun. It's kinda of like a woman. It will suck your wallet dry and leave you wanting more. Yet, we men are stupid enough to keep coming back for more and more.
