I follow your Quartering channel. Did not now you were into RC cars. I love this! I have a few old school Losi's, Tamiya, Kyosho and Associated in my collection, from my childhood. Do not actively ride anymore though, as I took interest in classic cars in my 20's and have stuck to that aver since.

I was out of the hobby for a few years but got back into it. I had a lot of catching up to do! ARRMA is the big Traxxas competitor now and has an excellent lineup of RCs; guess you got a taste of their good stuff several years ago with the Senton 6S. This new Kraton 8S is a great model to get restarted on your channel since it is nicely upgraded compared to the prior RTR. Anyway, welcome back to RC.

I used to be big into R/C cars, though I gravitated towards the nitro end of things. I did have a couple of electric cars as well, but that was back when NiMH based cells were the undisputed king of the hill and Lithium based cells were just starting to dangle their toes in the water. I friggin loved sitting down in the evening, tweaking motors and farting around with suspension. There was an R/C store fairly close to me at the time that was dedicated almost entirely to the car and truck end of things. It was basically a given that he would have an OEM replacement for any part you might break, as well as metric butt-ton of aftermarket and performance bits. On the rare occasions he didn't have what you needed on hand, he would get it into your hands in a day or two. He also had a huge indoor road and dirt track setup that absorbed a good 1/2 to 2/3 of the of the square footage of the warehouse the store was based in. Had many a 20 spot race there over the years. Sometimes I'd go home with my wallet a little heavier, other times not so much. Lol... Fortunately, he and his store are still alive and kicking. Only now he's in a new and considerably larger building just a couple of miles up the road from me. I should stop by there sometime soon and see how this new place is. I have half a mind to go dig out my old Nitro MT and get her up and running again after watching this video, lol...

@cjones7424 6 ай бұрын

Wow I wish I had a store and track like that growing up. I remember seeing a nitro in a box in a hobby model store that was easily 10-20x more than I had to spend but darn I would have loved to have gotten more into it, battery or nitro would have been fine for me haha. Had more than enough time to sit and tinker just not the funds at the time. I should probably look back into it.

@@cjones7424 we had at sick track at the RC shop I worked at. Now we have another one in our area too. It’s badass. If you have the disposable income it’s definitely a super fun hobby. Just don’t get into racing! Unless you wanna buy 10 kits and spend 1000’s lol.

@cjones7424 6 ай бұрын

@@BrandonGavin_EDC I had to settle for a Tamiya at the time in the end, not remote control at all. Raced that in storm drains and gutters as a race track, upgraded the electric motor, gears and tyres slowly with a few bucks here and there. Never to late to start for sure. I'd like a kit I could build, that would be enjoyable. I moved from that into electronics and then cars. But I'm not gonna fling my car around a corner probably going way too fast haha. RC would be fun to look into

@user-hg9sj9wz5v 6 ай бұрын

Thank you for being one of the first reviewers on here willing to point that out! A vehicle that doesn’t include some type of battery for the car or radio technically is not RTR. Paying $1000 for a car, then having to spend another $400-$500 on batteries and a charger is not RTR.

Hi "Coffee Boy" 😃. I followed the link from The Quartering. I also like r/c models. My first was the Tamiya Hot Shot back in 1985, the first year they were produced. I was 14 & it took me 5 days to put it together, then 2 more days to get it to work. I played with it until I could no longer get parts for it. At age 41, I built the re-release Hot Shot kit. I opened that kit after breakfast & had it fully assembled & running before dinner. I still have them both.

I’d say get them a Traxxas Stampede or something. Maybe a slash if they like that style better. Stick with brushed/Ni-Mi batteries until they get older. Then you can throw in the Brushless combo motor/ESC and Lipo batteries. You can upgrade the car over the years with better parts. It’s a blast. Even with brushed motors they still go around 25-30 MPH.

Never jumped it once. Arrma at least listens to their Customers and does stuff about the things that aren’t working.

$100 for the Spektrum smart batteries (needed for telemetry) and a Spektrum charger? Too funny. A 200 watt dual charger is $240-ish. The 5000 4S smarts are $110-ish each, and you need two. I use two Spektrum 5000 4S smart batts in my Traxxas XRT since I had them already for my 4S powered Jetstream boat. The boat was my first surface RC model since the 80's. The Kraton 8S or a Traxxas XRT both seem nice trucks. With mild jumping, and a lot of sliding, the XRT has broke nothing in 5 months of use. The big models are easier to see with my aged eyes.
