Hobbies - Nitro powered Rc Cars

Hey guys, i know most of you guys are speed junkies and love your toys so maybe someone else on here is into these.

Just finished building my third one, was out of it for awhile but back into it now. These little things are a ton of fun. Hoping someone else on here has one and we can go bash them.



Btw - for those who think these may be toys, my last truck was capable of speeds of 60mph.

if you don't mind giving me a hand with those...I have one its like 5 - 7 years old I used it very little cuz I didn't know anyone who had them. Mine is a 1/8 scale thunder tiger buggy. its somewhere in the basement....

Not Nitro Cars, or anything Nitro for that matter, but I fly Model airplanes.

a few of us got some electics

a little tune up and you can get these things going again pretty easily. basically all you need is a new glow plug, new batteries and some fresh nitro and you should be ready to go. Thunder tiger is a great company and their buggies are usually really fast.

As for the plans, i dont know how you do it, i was into helicopters for a bit and had so much trouble with it, tried a plan and crashed, ill stick to on road for now but i do love hitting jumps.

If we got some electrics out there too we should have an rc day

p.s- those just looked fun

yeah I used to do air planes too ....I still have an engine somewhere....
Got an electric in pieces too ... , so much money wasted :(
I'd need a hand in tuning it, I know nothing about it. Last I remember it was somewhat in pieces because I was swapping a shredded fly wheel

Oh yeah I have put way too much money into it but that's what a hobby is I guess. I could give you a hand tuning it once you get it back together. Lol. I use to kill those gears all the time, worth the upgrade for the metal one.

the reason its plastic is to have a fail/weak point, better it then something else.

Since the gear connected to the engine has a clutch on the inside of it, it can spin freely and will just spin if there was a problem. No damage happens if you run a metal one, I did for a long time.
