    “driving fast is hard” i’ll attest to that, just got finished replacing the back end of my rc after nailing one of the only objects at full speed, gyro started over correcting which added a slight wobble and tail slapped a pole, and now it all needs tuning up suspension wise and steering😐 but hey it’s still fun even when you destroy it

    Tip: when using the captured hinge pins, face the nuts to the front and screw head towards the rear. Reduces the chance of dirt packing in the screw head.

    The best part was building them. I was into RC in the mid 80s to late 80s then I got my driver's license and forgot about that stuff for a long time. Saw a Tmax and had to have that thing. Started looking for one I could build and everything was pre built. The only kit I found to build was a Tamiya drift car. Cool little kit. I'll say they are a whole lot more durable now back in the day I was always breaking stuff super bummer.

  • @joootooobboosheet2486

    I'm 40. I STILL have my RC car from when I was a kid. My dad made me build mine with one of the kits, and I took care of it and made it last. My sister and I painted it gold with brown highlights, and it was 1 of a kind because of the paint. If I had batteries that would stay charged, my car would still work. I've looked for a long time, and there are no kits anymore. It's a shame, because I wanted to buy one for my kid, but unfortunately can't.
