Nice most of my cars are stock, I do sway bars and springs but don't really compete with them, although I have pretty highend setups. I am a huge fan of the Spektrum digital servos...the S6040 is super nice and ultra responsive, i actually have to tune it down a bit to keep it from being too twitchy in my TC6.1. I need to take the SC truck out to play, it's been a while, been so busy getting my turbo situation settled that i kinda forgot about my other "cars". I have an outdoor motorcross track I can play on...regularly clear the doubles and tabletop with my current setup...i was shocked by this little 540 motor.

Had a EREVO with a Monster mamba and 2 Turnigy nano-tech 5000mah 3S in parallel.

Ripped the tires off the wheel every single time

Sold the small toy (erevo) for a FR-S (Big Toy)

Mmm... love me some brushless in the morning.

Call me hipster, but I got out of RC before brushless went mainstream (in cars). Really miss my converted 1/8th MBX Pro. My neighbors lawns don't miss the accidental ruts in their grass...

@Supermassive cars look nice, appreciate the time and effort that goes into a clean setup!

@Hardrock4445 sorry to hear your of meltdown! Do you know what caused it?

Great cars in this thread. The feedback on Tekin comes at an opportune time as I'm about to go shopping for a new 8th scale buggy motor and their T8 lineup has lots of choices in that size...

No idea, wasn't drawing a ton, only a few laps in, motor 80*F after it happened I wonder if a solder joint came loose and touched, I was after the double. Got so hot it de-soldered my deans connector off my battery and the esc and all wires off off the esc, so there was a direct short.

Yep, sounds like a connection failed rather than the system being overloaded. Good on you for running a properly geared setup. I hate racing with guys who are running on the ragged edge. They usually drive like it too!

Posted these elsewhere, figured they could be repeated here.

I'll try to dig around for some body off pictures (or mid conversion). It has been too long since I messed around with these badboys.

Ofna 1/8th MBX Pro. BK Warrior / Feigao setup

AE RC18T Quark/Neu setup

Also ran a MGM/Lehner XXX-T/XX-4WE and a Quark/Neu boat at one point.

Really impressed with the technology now, we were frying a lot more ESC's and motors a few years back.

My first attempt at fully airbrushed body, flames, depth, shadows, carbon, marbled. All in one. Ive done each a little on previous bodies.
