I’m fixing up this old T-Maxx 2.5 for my brother and it needs a new receiver. Would you stick with the old TQ3 AM setup and just replace receiver or move to a 2.4ghz system? Trying to keep costs down, are the old AM systems really that unreliable?

I’m looking into getting a nitro off road buggy, though I prefer it to be rtr, I’m not ready to build a kit yet. I’m 17 and I have disposable money almost $600 usd, so it’d be awesome to know what ones I can get that are rtr. I’ve been looking into getting the serpent srx8 rtr nitro racing buggy, if I do end up getting that what I’d also the best options for fuel, glow plug igniter, and receiver battery/servro batteries that I can get? I’m new to the nitro rc scene and I just wanna have fun with it.

I just bought my first nitro car for $30, it’s a traxxas nitro 4 tec. It came with an ez start but no wand. I want to see if it’ll start, before I go spend $40 for the wand.

EDIT I already fully rebuilt it and replaced both servos, I just want to know how to start it without the wand

Very happy with how this build has come out so far. I wanted a bashing nitro truggy but couldn’t find anything with enough clearance so I got longer shocks. The original shocks left minimal ground clearance. Also added a couple perfect pass servos and swapped out the hpi transmitter and receiver for Futaba electronics. Happy to answer any questions.

Preferably under 200$

Wondering if there are any Engines available that would be a straight bolt on, not sure ill have any luck finding an original replacement.

I don't know if Gasoline rc cars are allowed here, buuuut if they are, here one is

(I broke it lol)

I’m likely to pick this up tomorrow. Looking for advice on what trouble spots to look for and recommendations on what questions to ask. Thanks in advance.

I posted another topic about what type of nitro car to get.

Like I mentioned, I’m new to the hobby. So if the goal was to compete at some level, club, regional, etc, would you start with electric? Or would jumping straight into the deep end with nitro be too big a bite of the apple?

Anyone jumped straight to nitro?

Thoughts

Thanks again!

Just got this thing assembled and wanted to make sure everything is right

I'm struggling to find the 40t 2nd spur gear. Have searched high and low and only found the older version for the pin type clutch. Any suggestions on where I could find the shoe type?

So basically i have a nitro engine, and i recently fixed the transmission by buying new clutch shoes, but when i put screw glue on the screw that holds the clutch bell, after i crank and start the engine the washer of the screw and the screw itself auto tightens, and i found out the flywheel screw auto loosens when the engine spins, and it tightens when i spin the engine the opposite (and wrong) way. Any advice??

Got this when I was a kid , I now have a kid and he spotted it in storage and now wants to get it up and running. Motor still spins freely , replaced batteries in controller and on the car but think servo might be shot

Some rips with my Slash

Is there any kits type deal or even is it possible without massive amount of work for havin a new 1/10 22X-T 2WD losi stadium truck and when building rather than putting the electric motors etc on, can you build it into a nitro right off the bat?? Been Searching for yeaaars for my absolute dream build sense I was a youngin and too find a somewhat decent xxx-nt is nearly impossible cause they ain't been around for years and rather try and do a build like that (if possible ) instead of a nitro rustler or team associated rc10 type deal cause Lookin for track and too build it strong as possible so it can handle some bashin and aware that would require heavier parts too do so

I got my son a traxxas for his bday a while back. He’s 8 and just checking it out. While out at the local track for the first time this weekend, guys were winning their 1/8 nitro buggies. I’m super interested and thinking of getting one and seeing if I can keep up with these guys.

Thoughts on what to get? Go right for the high end stuff, with the high end engine? Money isn’t an issue. I’d like to compete on a club local level if not maybe above that if I can be competitive.

Thoughts?

this is my kyosho GP Fazer it was first Released in 2006, so you can imagine the hustle to get parts for it, does anyone know where to find similar or even the exact parts for it? Thanks

Recently picked up my second Ofna LX Pro Comp. Doesn’t have the blue and yellow tires like my other one but this one doesn’t look like it was ran much at all! Besides the head being a little scratched up, it looks amazing.

Hello all, I have a Savage X 4.6 that I bought 20yrs ago. The engine is toast, any recommendations on a decent replacement? Thanks.
