Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

The *Unofficial* GPF RC Thread



Kits are $$ and dont come with rx/tx, thats another 50/100 for a QUALITY pair. My tamiya kit was $200 alone. $30 for ball bearings etc etc it all adds up. If you stop buying junk r/c to get your feet wet then money wouldnt be a problem. If you want to get your feet wet go to walmart and buy a $40 1/10 new bright. A real few hundred $ r/c isnt even a comparison.
 




Found one of these in working condition on eBay for $25, this was my first toy grade rc that I remember having, thing was a blast to drive.
 
Now to start some fun. No Lipos yet as my charger has been stuck jumping around sorting facilities in Sioux Falls since last night.

Got everything installed, got my balance charger finally and charged up one of my Lipo packs. Took it for a quick spin and I was only able to hit 28mph still running stock gearing and I haven't messed around to much with the settings in the Castle Link yet.

I just want to see how fast I can get it going, then I'll gear back down so I can bash with it.
I feel it should be faster, the Ruckus with the Dynamite Tazer system and a 7 cell NiMh will do 36 mph.
