Do you R/C?
 

I just got done building a new engine.

Check it out.

Started with a Zenoah G260RC1

Then added:

O'Neil Brothers Reed

Machined and reed ported 30.5cc upgrade with 2mm stuffed stroker.

Yellow powder coated cylinder.

Modified Walbro Wt-813 carburetor.

K&N air filter.

Then topped it all off with various red, yellow, and chrome finishing touches.

This fucker will SCREAM!

This is not for your kids R/C truck. :glugglug

Very nice Aaron, im still playing with the RC Heli, i think this year i will get one of the bigger heli's

So it will fit in my saddlebags. Can I play with it?

Holy shit, that is huge.

Big Boy Toys .. Very Nice.

holy canoli, you're one talented guy. Seriously, no pun intended.

Once it's all together, yes. :)

Yikes, what is it, 1/4 scale or something huge? Looks badass.

Sweet :thumbsup
I guess I have to ask, what is this for?

I have the Miss Circus Circus hydroplane. I flipped it last summer because I got ballsy and went with an engine that was overrated for that vessel.

It was a bitch to get it out of the lake :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

1/5 scale FG MT5

nice z1u in the back....


I gotta see that thing scream....

jeez, 1/5th scale!

Better get some ear plugs, dayum.

I raced 1/12th back in the 80's. Electric though, no gas.

Lets see the beast youre going to drop that powerhouse into?

DO you use a mini cherry picker?

I had this 2stroke engine on my FG Marder, tuned it a lot as well, was fun although the sheer mas of the Marder resulted in pretty costly crashes :-)

I sold my Marder and i now have much lighter cars with nitro engines..
Have a few offroad Revo's and T-Maxes..they are faster than the FG Marder but the nitro engines are less reliable than the 2strokes..

I miss the Circus Circus! That used to be one of my favorite hydroplanes. Do you have any pictures of it before the crash? lol

I used to have a RC plane. It had a huge 5foot wingspan. Crashed it. I found an old plane the other day I was thinking of getting back into it. My niece got a mini RC copter for her birthday and I think I've played with it more then her... That thing is fun!

i have a rc 10 still love messing with it time to time

Memories.

Back in the day I had an RC10 and a Yokomo YZ10. I still have the Yokomo but I don't dare drive it too hard as it's pretty much impossible to get parts for it these days.

That's awesome Aaron :thumbsup

Ok, I looked this up, damn that thing is fast. I doubt they had what you have, but that thing hauls ass :thumbsup

This thing was doing 55+ MPH BEFORE the new engine. Not sure how fast it will go now but I do know that I would hate to be in it's way. :)

I had my FG Marder crash my foot, lucky i had very heavy leather boots on, there was big hole in my boot and i had cut in my foot.. i dont want to imagine what would have happened to my foot when i didn't had the leather boots on..11kilos of inertia.. :Oh crap

This thread's making me want to get back into cars again...

I flew RC planes for probably 20 years. Pretty much quit when I moved to vegas though, even though they have some nice RC flying fields here.

I believe in Boulder City, they have a race track for 1/4 scale cars.

Ouch. No good man.

I take it that's right about the time you sold it? :)

Hehehe, yeah wasn't much fun for sure..

Looking at FG now i see they came a long way, they look much more advanced than mine 6 years ago.. i might get back into 1/6, i love the 2 stroke's torque..my wife will not like it for sure, i have cars all over the house already.. i think i have like 11 on and offroad cars scattered over multiple rooms.. most Traxxas and a few HPI's..
I am now practicing with a electric copter.. fun!

HPI just released a new 1/5th scale truck 2 or 3 weeks ago. I think we will be building that one next so my girl can play too.

That is huge!!! All i got is my wimpy xxxt matt francis edition.

can you show me url?

I use to have a remote control car with a gas engine. Broke it pretty quick though.

this hobby requires tools and the will to fix your material..
my cars do like 65mph..nothing can keep them from getting broken after a crash.. you have to be willing to accept this and spend time fixing.. :winkwink:

This was like 15 years ago when I was in middle school. I'd love to get back into it though. I always wanted a remote control helicopter or airplane.

If you wanna start to do copters than go for the cheap electric training ones.. i wrecked about 3 of them already.. it's fucking hard!
never tried planes, but i imagine those are less hard to learn than the copters..

Yea I had a old RC 10 from like the 1st or 2nd year they were produced when I was a teenager. When the monster truck stuff started getting popular with the RC cars I reworked all the suspension and has a bad ass truck set up.

Here's the stock RTR version. Not sure what kind of hop-ups are available yet but I'm sure there will be a lot of them.

Or you could pick up Real Flight G4.5 for the cost of one cheap heli.

I've been learning heli's for awhile now. Not sure if I will ever get one as they are truly a pain in the ass....But the simulator rocks.

Nice!! look how those tires shrink to almost nothing!! Speed!!

No Mac version :(

Buy a cheap PC to run it. Believe me, you WILL crash many heli's trying to learn. Even crashing the $200.00 cheapos will add up real fast.

If you have an Intel Mac get a copy of Windoze for it.

this thread motivated me to charge the batteries on my heli...

I been wanting to build one of those R/C jet plains

That looks like too much fun! :thumbsup

I have an RC Chopper although I spend most time on my simulator. I am hoping to go for my Chopper license in 2010 :thumbsup

I still have my 1st gen RC10-T somewhere.

Time to upgrade. :winkwink:

I have a XXT that I play with every once in a while. Tried playing with it a few weeks back, but the batteries will barely hold a charge anymore. I dropped a lot of dough on that thing back in the day... drive, crash, fix, drive, crash, fix... Good times :)

Heh, I asked my dad to try flying his helicopter. He chuckled and then handed me the controller for that sim... not so easy. I must have crashed at least 100 times before I had a semi-decent flight.

For about 30 seconds this year. Bought a nitro r/c 1/10 scale. Took a piece off to put battery in forgot to replace the piece. Went to break it in at a park. Soon as i gave it a bit of gas mother fucker took off full throttle. Son of bitch took off like a bat out of could not stop it or steer it.

I finally caught up with the fucker 2 blocks later. It rammed straight into the storm ditch i could hear it smash a block a way. When i got to it the motor was still running wide open. I tried prying it out of the storm drain before it blew up but didn't get it out in time lol. Did get some nice burns on my fingers and arms thou.

Worse part was walking back threw the park were all these people were watching me. I was so fucking pissed i was crying. No one would make eye contact with me. That was the quickest$450 i ever spent lol

Damn thats no fun although with airplanes and helis its so much worse I've lost a few in my time !
Once the battery fell out of a eurofighter i had plowed straight into the ground :Oh crap

nice engine! please post some pics when you've put it all together.

lmao... sorry but I'm laughing my ass off over here to that story :1orglaugh



btw... AaronM... any idea where I can get a good out of the box RC boat? My dad wants one for xmas.
