Looking for an old iPhone or iPod Touch. Needed for R/C Truck

[Kim-n-Dean]

I am not getting what you mean????

The RC's were nitro....I assume some sort of RC race fuel. Dean had the Nitro truck and Bueller has the battery truck.

Nitromethane. We run 20% Nitro and the rest is methyl alcohol with some lubricants. The engines are two-strokes, so the fuel is the lubricant. I can run as high as 33% Nitro in our cars. My helis run 40%. Top Fuel dragsters and Funny Cars run 90% nitro, 10% methane.

I attempted to make a joke about the puff of smoke...like a little diesel "rolling coal".

[Bueller]

I wouldn't mind having a Nitro truck, I may scour some CL listings, find one that's been lightly used and stuck in the closet.
But I really do like the electrics for the stealth and the instant torque. When I run it out on my street it'll scream about as fast as I am willing to go with my truck. And the neighbors don't even know I am out there unless they see me. Dogs finally stopped barking at them so now it is quiet in my back yard too. And they are a blast on wet grass and wet pavement. Now Renata is hooked on her little REVOvxl and was out running it in the backyard a bunch yesterday, I think we found a new hobby we can both spend too much $ on.

Finally broke the E maxx yesterday, broke the rear shock tower landing a jump. Time to wire it together until the new ones arrive.

Eeeeezy….want to sell yours on the cheap? I am afraid to buy used, but from someone I trusted like you, I would.

I would get rid of one of the RCs that I have. Figure out what you would be willing to spend and let me know!

The Nitro has only been broken in and then had maybe 1/2 gallon of fuel run through it. It really hasnt seen much run time. Needs new tires but I would get those before I sold it. It has probably $60 worth of upgrade control arms as well.

Got the nitro truck I wanted. I curse you Dean!

Straight up from my backyard.

[birchyboy]

Very cool. Any idea how high it was?

Tiny dot in the sky-hi is all I can say for sure.

Another one from dusk, just one that I got from a couple hundred stills

I'm confused. Did you get a QX2? If so, why did you have to strap a GoPro to it? Didn't it come with a 5.8 GHz camera and gimbal?

EDIT: Ahhhh... I just looked it up. Blade now makes a QX2 without the camera and gimbal. Is that what you got? Pretty cool.

Be careful with the GoPro attached. The QX's are known for having the GPS take over and the thing flies away, never to be seen again. Mine has done some weird shit and crashed (I've re-built it three times), but has never just "took-off". All my friends have lost theirs, though.

Wanna come over and try one of my helicopters?

[Bueller]

The are supposed to have taken care off the compass and GPS problems with the update and the qx2 has the GPS antenna relocated away from the camera.
Scared myself good last night though. Got it up high enough I lost it in the clouds. What a rush that was.
Not sure about a heli just yet, I'll have to get more copper money before I can get involved with those. I want a fixed wing now, I really like the P-51 mustang. Or a battle quad! :-)

That supposed fix is Firmware V2. Mine has that and the QX's are still losing control. The relocated receiver is placed vertically next to the battery with shielding wrapped around it.The relocated antenna is placed on top of the right, rear speed controller. How's that a better location? To make these changes, you have to cut out some of the webbing/bracing in the arm that carries the right, rear motor. Since I never carry a camera, I put my receiver and antenna back in the original location. Their "fix" is a total joke!! The only thing they changed between the QX and QX2 is the fuselage. You don't' have to cut the QX2 fuse to relocate the GPS.

If you bind without GPS, it's supposed to solve all the problems. The reason I got the QX is so Kim can fly it (smart/GPS mode). Also, the "return home" has saved my ass many times. I pretty much only fly at night and I have lost it in clouds or behind trees during the day. If I wasn't in GPS mode, it would probably be lost by now...

Are you flying yours with GPS on?

[Bueller]

Oh yea! I will fly it in the yard with no lock while I am waiting for it, but once I get it I land and disarm/rearm for my RTH lock.
I just flew it with a better gopro in a hard case with the lens cover removed. Looks to be much better res. I guess I'll have to send the Hero2 up next.

Took the E-Maxx out into the snow yesterday.

[bulldog]

No snow ramps????...WTF

Looks like fun

[Kim-n-Dean]

Took the E-Maxx out into the snow yesterday.

You son-of-a-bitch! You just had to go and post pics of some snow driving, didn't ya!!

Well... got two of these on their way, now... Fucker!!!

Front and rear lockers (independently controlled), low and high range, working front and rear lights. Should be pretty cool...

[Bueller]

Ha! Nice!

This RC shit is outta control!!!!!!..

I am fucking up both of these now.

[Kim-n-Dean]

Where's the inverted hover pic?!?

It's not out of control, yet. I flew airplanes for twenty-five years before I got into helis. Flew Helis for about six years before I got into trucks. My planes were approaching the $5,000/each mark before I got into helis. Lots of money to be spent yet. We should have our wives get second jobs!!! I wanna be a house husband!!!!

[One-ops]

Love this thread!!! Lol hate the money it wants me to spend though lol.
I go in and out of interest for Rc. I need way more patients for the heils.
I got stuck in a rut kinda with a lil blade msr. Had hopes to go to something like the blade 400.
I get bored pretty easy just running around with the revo and the clean it run it break it fix it repeat. It's fun and doesn't always break but it does happen.
Love the R/C sparks vids makes me thinking about a scale style crawler next time I get back into it.

Night flight above Aurora. Trying to see if Christmas lights showed up.

Well shit! This damn hobby!!

Since Ford and Castrol have pulled out of Top Fuel, you won't see Team Force in a Ford or Castrol colors again. John is my favorite and always has been, so I had to get these cars. The man's stats are incredible and will never be beat!

[Bueller]

You figure out a place to run these yet?
I just spent enough to buy one of these on parts to fix my crashed heli's
