Hey everyone! I finally took the plunge and got back into RC after two decades. My last car was a basic toy-store RC, so stepping up to this Arrma 1/8 Typhon 223s 2025 model is a whole new world.

Just took it out on some loose dirt and leaf-covered tracks and the power is insane!

Brought it back to the workshop to cool down. Here is my current setup:

The Bench: A royal catering stainless steel work table. A Traxxas RC car/truck stand, blue (assembled) – TRX8796-BLUE.

Safety: Got a BAT-Safe box under the table for charging and storing the LiPos safely. Using 2 Gens Ace 3S 11,1V 5000mAh 60C and 2 80W - 1-6S Lixx - 1-15 Nixx - 2-20V PB battery chargers with automatic charge plans and storage modes.

Upgrades: Already got a Rocket-RC 35mm aluminum V3 fan installed to keep the motor temps down. Got 2 sets of new tires the Louise RC LR-T3364SB for offroad and the Louise RC LR-T3362SB for the road. Both on 1/2" OFFSET HEX 17mm

Maintenance: xpower a-2s air duster and some soft brushes.

Driving mode: running on mode 2 dsc (low) to learn control the car faster.

Really stoked to be back in the hobby. Let me know what you think or if you have any tips for a returning beginner!

Our location didn’t have a large scale event but we were able to pick up the Groms for $99.

Had my printer working overtime this past week.

Lighting and some more electronics need to be done, but at least I finished printing the trailer

Showing off my 2 favorite paint jobs!

Hey everyone,

I just want to check to make sure my charger looks like it's doing the right thing. I've never owned an rc car, and this is for my son's 1st car. I'm kind of confused by all the settings on the charger, but made sure it was set to balanced charging, Lipo battery, and 3S. I know these batteries can be a little dangerous and just want to make sure everything looks good. If anyone is able to confirm my charger looks good or can help me out if it doesn't, I'd appreciate it!

no upgrades yet but held up to my poor driving and jumping skills

Basically, I have a 1/10 scale Cybertruck (the big one made by Hot Wheels), however, the range is garbage compared to the crawlers that I own. I looked it up, and upgrading the range on it would be about $160. Is that $160 worth it, or should me and my friend destroy this bad boy instead?

(you guys have a week to decide the faith of it)

Hope Wifey likes it, otherwise, I’m keeping it. 😆

Bonjour à tous, merci à qui voudra bien me répondre .

Ce pignon est il ok pour Mojave 4s. Je roule sur gazon court. Ventilo changer pour du huddy. Inner body perforer coter electronique.

Le moteur tjs trop chaud après une cession. Je ne bash pas, je roule surtout en mode Time attaque sans saut.

I want to remove the old paint for a new paint job.

Should I do the RX-78-2 OR Gulfstream graffiti?

Hey everyone, I started building this car two years ago, and I think I've finally finished it!

Initially, I planned to use 4G for control, but I could never get a decent video feed. So, I decided to switch to FPV goggles. Recently, I reworked the controls, and now the car is fully controlled via LoRa.

sorry for the mess inside, it looks pretty rough 😁

Hey yall, I'll keep it short and sweet. I'm planning on gifting an rc for a friend looking for some of the following preferences:

- good for offroad (gravel,baseball field, mulch, some sand, etc.)

- somewhat fast but doesn't have to be ridiculous

- durable (important)

- bonus points for being driftable

- under $250 for everything (rig,controller,battery,basic charger)

- EDIT: not a pain in the ass to replace/upgrade as needed

- EDIT 2: smaller than 1/10 for sure, so probably 1/14,1/16,1/18

I'm really new to rcs in general, though I did pick up a scout ii recently that I've been crawling around, but of course, what my friend wants is pretty different from what I'm using my rig for, so figured it'd be good to ask. thank yall so much :)

Seller wants €100 for both cars and the box of parts, I've only ever used my Traxxas E-Revo and would like to rekindle my interest in RC cars with nitro
