I really want a 1/10 scale buggy, but there is nowhere to race. A buggy is something I plan on getting sometime, though I like drifting. 3 hours ago, JJ2 said: That does sounds fun, I don't know if I will ever race my 1/10 scale anywhere but I will definitely drive it a lot and maybe jump it. Maybe you should drive it, they are fun. 3 hours ago, mocbuild101 said: I once did some research on the best RC cars available, and the E-Revo came out on top (it is also probably the one I'm going to buy when I get the money). By not expensive - how much do you mean? Enjoy that! Quote
Lego2016Lego Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 Yes it is an off roader. https://www.hobbytown.com/erevo-vxl-1-16-4wd-brushless-rtr-truck-blue-by-traxxas-tra71076-3-blue/p576473 Quote

TechnicRCRacer Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 (edited) @mocbuild101 By not too expensive I mean starting around $150 and adding $30-40 upgrades as you get better. It is definitely a lot of fun! In fact, tonight we are having an oval race event where everyone gets 3-second lap times and there are epic crashes!

aminnich Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 I have an ECX RUCKUS, that is 95% upgraded, it was a cheaper truck, but all the upgrades I did to it make it very fast. I'd smoke your REVO Quote

aminnich Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 I have never had it under radar to speed test it. Quote
TechnicRCRacer Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 The fastest car at my place goes 18 MPH. Have in mind that these are 1/28 scale. They go at least 250-300 scale MPH. Quote

Milan Posted May 28, 2017 Posted May 28, 2017 RC Guys: While this is indeed Technic Pub for chit chat, it is not a good idea to turn it into a RC topic. Quote

aminnich Posted May 28, 2017 Posted May 28, 2017 I say it is a good introduction to a new contest..... Quote
dr_spock Posted May 28, 2017 Posted May 28, 2017 You can always start an RC Talk topic thread in the Community Forum http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/forum/7-community/ Quote

Also, it it was started by a member with a ranking of Knight or higher, they could have a poll of what members have RC cars (or other RC vehicle). Edited May 29, 2017 by mocbuild101 Quote
N-4K0 Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 Regarding set numbers in the Technic line: Which numbers did they skip so far in the 42000 range? 42012-19, 51 and 67 are the ones I find missing, unless I've missed some, hah. And for that matter - given that they're now on 5 digit numbers and eventually will have to keep increasing, I find it strange when they skip numbers seemingly for no reason, even if some of them were planned and later cancelled as was the case with 42051.

syclone Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 @Error404 Well , there were some 4-digit numbers missed as well , apparently TLG follows no specific order with set numbers Quote
