Anyone into rc cars?

[Ognib]

A friend of mine is deeply involved with both nitro & electric cars.

He's turned me on to a bunch of random parts...an older OS max CZ engine, a drive unit, front & rear suspension bulkheads etc. I'm fabbing a chassis & cage for it...a sprint/drift kinda no body buggy.

Looking for a good forum where I can participate & learn...any suggestions...wish this site had a rc section...I like it here.

I do a little with RC. I have several Sandhornets (Sand Scorcher body with Hornet chassis) and a Midnight Pumpkin or two. One of them has a 4800KV brushless setup, and I was running it with a 3s lipo.  It pretty much just careened out of control until it hit something...not much steering.  

Anyway, try this one:

It`s a pretty busy forum, especially the for sale section. I also like the Tamiya forum:

Hope this helps!

I've kinda gotten out of it after leaving the HTU I worked at, but I was into it pretty big until then.

Thanks for the links.

I used to race 1/8 scale on-road. There used to be an east coast series of races, Mid-Atlantic Championship (MAC). I had a lot of fun doing that. Had some spectacular 60 mph crashes as well. Ahh, the good 'ol days.
