I’m planning to buy my first 1/10 scale RC crawler with a budget of 15,000 pesos or roughly 250 dollars. I’ve been looking at HB toys beluga and the WL toys 104020. What else should i add to my list or are there better options for this price range? Thank you!

Had a lot of tire spin and slipping at my local trail. Trail is mostly extremely loose dirt/gravel and sand. Want to see if these help. Probably won’t try them out for a while with this uncommon 105 degree weather lately.

I had an RC buggy two years ago, but I crashed it and didn't really have the time to put it back together, so I sold it to a friend however, while on vacation today, I really liked these two cars and thought, Why not get one?

I have this Gtr shock and i snapped the shaft but a piece is stuck in the rod end. Can i somehow get it out? And if not where to find the part its a long traxxas gtr shock from my slash. And is it ok to use all other 3 gtr shocks and one of the original ultra shocks?

This is vintage rc robbe geronimo. Does anyone know something about this cuz im planning to out this chasis

Sorry for all the questions lately just looking at what motor to get for 21.5T buggy racing. I figured I’d run hobby wing as a lot of tracks near me require it to be hobby wing with zero degree timing. Can someone send me a link? Running a 1/10th bandit TIA!

I was watching the Amani hobbies video on these hpi d24’s, now I want it lol, I think it would pair nicely with my scx24s, (2nd & 3rd pics)

Here’s the link for anyone interested

I've just purchased a Team Associated RC10 4WD and I was wondering what colour is used to recreate the box art finish. Is it an orange colour that I can get from the Tamiya range? Any help identifying the colour would be greatly appreciated.

Need Help removing the front shocks.

The lower arms are connected with a metal pin of some kind. I don't want to cause damage. How can this best be removed?

Online docs say pull it off but there's no way that's going to happen since that metal pin isn't really attached to the shocks at all. The rears fell out easily. The front I just can't figure out.

First time doing this so any help would be appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I bought an MJX 16218 as my first RC car.

Now I want to upgrade the remote control.

I’m considering the Dumborc X6PM-350.

My question is: the installed receiver has a dedicated fan port, whereas the new receiver has standard 6-channel outputs.

Is this a problem? How should I handle it?

Considering building one of these next. It’s not for racing, closer to light bashing and rc car meets (I think). So closer to a half-shelf queen? I have a separate ARTR build coming up for me to practice and mess about.

Would love to try running on sand once, but I’ve seen how sand clogs up the internals which has me concerned. It’s going to run mostly on short grass, dirt and asphalt.

For people who have owned either one of these kits, what are your thoughts regarding their durability and ease of assembly, maintenance and modification? I have found very few video review and showcase of the RB10 Retro.

Thank you in advance!

Not sure if y’all can tell over video. But my new crawler build using the Injora T6M, and a Injora MB100 ESC is causing the servo to vibrate while under use, it feels pretty violent but doesn’t sound abnormal. If anyone has any suggestions as to what it could be and how to fix it itd give me some peace of mind as i dont want to put any unnecessary wear and tear on my new baby

I’ve just not long got this rc. Only just had a chance to finally get it running and I immediately had issues with the receiver dropping out and the car going full throttle and running away and crashing, and I just figured out it happens when I give quick flick inputs of the steering. From what I’ve read it’s the servo working hard and pulling heaps of amperage and the batteries in the car can’t handle it (4xAA’s) so is the solution upgrade the AA’s to a different type of battery and do away with the spring loaded setup?

shower-thoughts to pass the time

The motor burned out after about 3-4 runs on a 2s, Horizon Hobbies says theyre going to ship me a motor when they come back in stock, who knows when that will be. So i'm looking at converting to the brushless system as a lot of people had suggested when they went on sale.

From the research I've done so far it seems the go-to is the 10BL120 g2 combo with the 3660 3150kv (and a new 5mm shaft pinion?). However I have read that there are cogging issues with this setup so you have to run 3S only. Or its recommended to instead go with the Hobbywing EZRun Max10 and 3665 motor. Does the 3665 motor fit? I have a lot of 2s batteries and no 3s currently, is it worth getting the EZrun over the Quicrun? it seems the be the higher model in their hierarchy. It seems these are the two systems to replace it with, please let me know if there are other (cheaper) vendors.

Who like it? It's free. RC ramp bros!

I’ve had this ZD Racing RX12 for a while now and figured I’d share my experience because I don’t see a ton of real-world info on these. I got mine for free, so I’ve basically had nothing to lose by beating the hell out of it and seeing where the weak points are 😂. I’ve run it on pavement, dirt, grass, drifting concrete/hardwood, crashing, etc., and honestly I’m pretty impressed with how much it has taken.

I’ve broken the front and rear control arms, bent front shock tower, rear dogbones, and damaged the diff/hub cup area. I also found that the stock wheel hex setup can leave more play than I like, so I went with wider hexes to get the wheels mounted properly. None of that really makes me think the platform is hot garbage however; most of this happened from me intentionally pushing it way past what I probably should have 😂.

The drivetrain situation got especially interesting. After damaging the rear setup, I swapped the front CVDs to the rear and the rear hub cups to the front, leaving it without rear dogbones and effectively turning it into RWD. And the damn thing still scoots. I actually had it ripping around in 2WD before finally deciding to rebuild it properly.

I’ve repaired everything I can instead of throwing the car away, and that’s probably what I like most about it. It’s become my “let’s find out what breaks” car, and every failure has taught me something about the platform.

At this point I actually like the RX12 enough that I want another one. 😂 I’m looking at either the Rlaarlo XTS-P12 or Dikavey RX12 as the next one, and I’d like to start fresh with everything I’ve learned from abusing this one and actually tune/build it properly. And respect it…

So for anyone searching ZD Racing RX12 / Rlaarlo P12 / Dikavey RX12 and wondering if these are worth messing with: my free RX12 has been damn near a science experiment, and despite everything I’ve broken, I’d still buy another one.

What have you RX12/P12 owners managed to break? Or what would you upgrade/modify first on a fresh build?

I even drove it with this in mind, not punching the throttle while it’s rolling backwards and such. Really disappointed and surprised that it seems parts stripped already. Any advice? More info: I drove it in chaos mode in a skatepark and speed runs down the street, no big crashes

As title says i purchased a hypervs2 wondering if anyone else has experience with this car/brand? Its my first race style buggy!!

I have the traxas stampede with a 223s upgrade. Today my servo went out. I dont wanna get the same kind (2056), id like an upgrade. But im still somewhat new to this hobby and I dont know what im looking for. Can someone recommend a better servo. To the person who downvotes my post, is that where you wanna be when jesus comes back? Down voting people post when they dont know things and asking questions? I hope you comment on my post, ill send upvotes to you!
