Since I started in this hobby, I decided to just stick with model airplanes, and possibly helicopters.
Cars wasn't the thing for me I thought.
But what do you do when people in your club with awesome persuading-skills, buy themself a neat car?
Well, as I was standing there, getting to try the beauty out, I had no choice. I had to go home, and buy me one of these wonders.
So yesterday I ordered a new Traxxas Slash 4WD Brushless from http://imgcdn.rcmart.com/catalog/rc-traxxas-6808-slash-p-30763.html and bought some 5000mah 3S Lipos from http://hobbycity.com/ to get some speed on this thing. Some say they can reach 60mph(100km/h) with 3S lipos with stock setup. Im gonna find out.
Best thing is that it is all RTF, and 100% waterproof. Perfect for a newbe as myself!
And the controller, which is a 2CH when it arrives, is actually a 4CH radio. You just need to mod it a little bit. Maybe I'll create a post on that process here later?
Anyways, I'm really looking forward to try this thing out, on the rainy days when flying is out of the question!
Anyone else got this one, or have been looking at it?
Filmed a little video of it the other day, at our field(got some more vids there as well if you guys are interested):
