There was a lot of talk on this topic in other threads so I decided to move it here to make a proper outlet for those who share this hobby.

I'm hoping to learn from you all as this is something I just started to dabble in.

Always wanted a hobby grade rc car so I finally bought this about 2 weeks ago. I'm happy with my choice so far.

Congrats. With a good Lipo battery and proper gearing that thing should be able to hit 60mph.

I picked up a 3s 5000Mah LiPo battery to go with it. I don't have a way to clock it, but the thing is damn fast. I went full throttle in a parking lot.

That's quite the collection. I'm still looking for legitimate places to take mine in the area that isn't just an empty parking lot. We had a track at a local motocross facility but the owners decided to shut it down.

I wish I could go bigger. I have the champ which looks just like the cub I think it has an 18" wingspan, and I have a p-51 mustang also with a similar wingspan. the champ is a 3 channel and the mustang is 4.
 
That looks like so much fun. Been thinking about building a 1/10 RC car.
 
I used to race on an indoor carpet road course. The Civic and Acura are 4wd touring cars underneath.

Actually, the Civic has a lowered rally car chassis.

Check out horizon hobby. There having a pretty extensive sale on most of their rc cars currently. I picked mine up with a good battery for just under 400.

Sold my Savage and bought a brand new Slash 4x4 Platinum Edition. Plan on building that thing for 100+MPH speed runs.
