Currently owned R/C's

one Yokomo MR4TC Pro-mostly stock, showroom condition, Peugot 406 Coupe body, car is hanging on wall not used since summer.

two Associated RC10L3T Team graphite pan cars-Porsche GT-1 bodies on both, one is stock w/Tekin G-10 ESC , the other has aluminum left bulkhead, alum. servo mounts, 13 turn motor (Mighty motors), Novak dually, Futaba servo and Rx, Jaco foam tires on both.

one Associated RC10L2O - oval pancar, bone stock, stripped elecs. for other car, Jaco foams, Paradox motor(changes),

one Trinity SB12 2002 Spashett Edition-Just finished building it about a week ago, All purple stuff is standard, TRC foams, Novak atom, stock motor(always changing), Novak XXL Rx, Airtronics 94145 servo, Parma Speed 8 body, comes with a black carry case ......Spiffy:)

one Corally SP12G3 '99 Spec. - Cells forward chassis, Protoform P-35 body, all else is stock, took out electronics to put in SB12

one Scratchbuilt 1/11? scale pancar-I made the chassis myself and used Associated 1/12 suspension parts and rear end, one inch longer than normal so I could fit HPI VW Golf and Polo bodies (225mm), LRP V7.1 ESC, Futaba Rx, TRC foam tires, JR Z3550 servo, this is my favorite car cause I made it and it drives great (on carpet) and looks cool.

Newest addition, one HPI Micro Rs4 - Stratus, Not built yet just got it yesterday, it comes in a nice box though.......

Radios- one Futaba 3PD FM w/three model memory , one Multiplex Profi 403 brand new haven't even tried it yet

Batteries- Mostly Panasonic 3000 and Sanyo 2400, too many to count.
Charger-Tekin BC112c
Tools-Up the yingyang
Boxes full of tires, motors, parts and stuff I paid alot of money for that was garbage and I don't have the heart to throw it out and so it reminds me not to buy stupid things.

Cars I sold in the past few months that I wish I still had, but needed the cash-HPI RS4 Mini Pro w/Miata body, Assoc. B3 Team, Assoc. RC12L3,Yoke MR4 Rally w/ML 430 body, Yoke YR-4 II Compact, Tamiya Monster Beetle and 2 Speedmerchant cars that I'm glad I got rid of cause they're junk.

one Great Planes Spirit 2-meter Glider still being built, ran out of money to finish since I quit my job.(nice move dummy)

Future cars- If I buy one more car I will shoot myself in the head.

That's all I can think of , the end.

PS-None of my cars can fly.......

doesn't have the motors and what not though, it comes with just the 2.0 motor I think

TFRMicro
04-10-2002, 09:26 PM
It's a 2.2...I think its enough for these little cars...

I can alway upgrade to a 3.0:eek:

xxtcrgp
04-10-2002, 09:47 PM
the only reason im not getting it is because the place im getting it from doesnt have it,lol

TGRupert
04-10-2002, 09:53 PM
you can buy up to a 3.0

TFRMicro
04-10-2002, 10:38 PM
yes, 3.0 is the highest...with soft tires it rocks...but run time is abit less with the 3.0 motor

xxtcrgp
04-11-2002, 12:16 AM
of cource, its like that with every rc car. Put in a more hot motor, the run time goes down. Im probably going to get two so I can race them with people on my pool table

TGRupert
04-11-2002, 09:25 AM
unless you get a brushless motor, than you get the best proformance AND better run times.

I love my NT. I bought it RTR because I have never owned a Losi before but so far there are only about 3 RTR parts on it. It is VERY FAST with the hyper and can pull whellies if I tighten my slipper. I DOMINATE at the track, lol not really but hey my truck at least looks good! Right now its sitting on the shelf because the engine wont go Full throttle without stalling. Makes me sad! But I have my first BIG race on Memorial Day so I gotta get it going!
