Ah yes, brushless. 5 turn touring car motors. 70mph electric. Also more than the total cost of my car for one of those and a forward only ESC. Yikes.

The ESC that I replaced was probably top of the line when it was bought, and only forward.... Too bad its not fast enough, lol. Got my new wheels and tires on. Its gonna be bad ass.

I needs me some new tires. I think I'm going to get the same set that I ruined before with poor gluing. For now, the white dish wheels and generic dirt tires will have to do!

My new wheels are yellow. I tried to get black but they only had the right set for rear and not front.

Has anyone gone outside yet today? Its f*in beautiful and we're all stuck at work.

No, I haven't been outside, and I'm trying not to look, because I don't want to depress myself!

Tom, do you recall if the T4 has 1/4" or 3/16" rear axles? I seem to be getting conflicting info...

I like smoke and lunch breaks. Drove to Subway with the windows down. Made me happy on the inside.

It looks as if the catalog says they are 3/16ths.

This is a thread to discuss RC cars and the like, and to keep some of the more tech part of the convo out of the chat thread, where it will be buried in the next few days. Feel free to join in, we always want more racin!

Good call on the separate thread.

I saw the thread show up, and I was thinking "WTF?? Tom and Josh managed to post two pages about RC cars while I was at lunch???"

Nah, I just swapped it out. I figure this is something that could actually be useful to someone else on here that might be looking for a hobby. My biggest problem with RC and the reason I never did it before is the lack of people around me that were interested. Now that I know you and Josh are both into it, it was safe for me to do it. Cause there's only so many times you can whip donuts in your parking lot/crash into the plants before it gets old.

But now, there are three of us. And places to take them. Plus you do have something of a back yard, and I imagine that we can convince Josh to build something in his parents back yard. I saw it and it's good sized. Also, there is the option of building some sort of cheapish jumps and crap we can take and set up places. And I imagine we could convince at least one more person on here to throw their name in the pot for some good times.

We need to find a good dirt BMX track, or a big construction site. I s'pose we can always get them tweaked for pavement racing and hit up a big parking lot.

I had a sekrit idea. Tomorrow we shall investigate. I think it's going to work, and if it does, it will be double kickass.

So what time do we wanna meet? I'll be done with work @ Noon, possibly earlier.... and this place I have in mind is closest to Josh's apt. Do we want to meet there or somewheres else?
