Nick280 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Mine was electric, a Maplin Killer. It used to smash to pieces everytime you clipped the smallest stones. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie1 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) Do you guys that have nitros find it difficult finding places to run them with the noise they make Only once i have been told they were too noisy, by an angry security guard. (Prob fell out with his missus the day before) Have had the police appear a few times with allegation of mini motos being run or folk saying that a building is getting broken into with a stihl saw, but usually when the police appear they are happy to watch for a few minutes, ask a few questions like "are they expensive" , "how fast do they go" and "where did you buy that from" and then leave me alone and they go off and do some other police work Edited February 22, 2014 by wolfie1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrumpy jack Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I started with a Tamiya hornet when I was a kid, got back into it around 5 years ago with nitro savages, which I love. Unfortunately now I don't really have the time to tinker with nitro engines, so have done a brushless conversion. I'ts still early stages, but for some reason I'm finding it a bit more stressful than nitro, maybe it's because I'm still fairly unfamiliar with it..but I just cannot seem to trust the ESC yet, I worry it may burst into flames at any moment, I also worry about ruining 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very lucky with my neighbours as everybody seems to have respect for each other and asking as we at t doing anything to noisy/late at night we pretty much leave each other to it, after all we do have different interests Rob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

white dagon Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 my first ever rc was a nekko evolution 1/14 farrari enzo it seemed so fast back then went 12mph and when I put I sprint moter in it it when 18mph which was scary to drive when your 7 lol I think I went through almost 4 sets of tyers on that rc I used it soo much and when I was 9 I converted it to a rally car and had it pretty much fully upgraded lol, so much fun with that rc is still impressive for a toy grade rc I got in Halfords lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juggernaut jims Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 My first one was a nikko when I was 9, can't remember the name but it was blue and yellow an had light pods that worked on the sides. Was fast when I was that age an I ran it until the tyres where bald. First hobby grade rc was the tamiya Blackfoot. Now I'm on 9 Rcs but need to thin the herd as I haven't got space anymore.
