Sgt. Slaughterâ„¢-TopBrass February 21, 2007 Share Sgt. Slaughterâ„¢-TopBrass Member February 21, 2007 (edited) I've been a long time fan of R/C cars, truck, planes, boats, helicopters, and anything else R/C. I was wondering if anyone out there in GC land know of a good club in the Northeast Ohio / Eastern PA area. I'm looking at getting a little deeper into racing and playing around. I just got one of these a few months ago and love it dearly Basically I'm looking for a place to go and mess around. Dirt tracks, ovals, and air fields locations would be helpful too. Thanks for you info guys. P.S. Just a thought but maybe if there are enough people out there that do this in the GC community we could start our own R/C Club spin off! Woohoo!

Magruter February 21, 2007 Share Magruter Member February 21, 2007 I used to RC big time, i think i have well over a $1000 bucks worth the stuff sitting in my rents basement. All I raced were team associated rc10's. But i pretty much got what i needed for an awesome price. A good friend of the family was sponsored by about a dozen RC brands and would fly all over the world the championships, he wrote articles. MAN he was good. I really want to dig it out and start playing. At one time i was side by side with a car going over 45 mph. The batteries only last a few minutes though.

Sgt ill buy it if you put it together for me lol. It comes pre-assembled (I would rather put it together though). All you have to do is gas it up and break it in, and you're set! Btw its loads of fun driving that thing...nothing stops it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magruter February 22, 2007 Share Magruter Member February 22, 2007 How much are gas trucks going for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Slaughterâ„¢-TopBrass February 22, 2007 Author Share Sgt. Slaughterâ„¢-TopBrass Member February 22, 2007 (edited) There are one's for just about every price range. The one I linked to I payed $550 including tax. That includes the radio, gas, and some miscelatious items (like batteries and fill tubes). My hobby store has some small gas powered buggies (1/15 th scale maybe) that go for about $120. Most (if not all) come preassembled ( ). To get going from scratch you would need verious sizes of allen wrenches, a decent size tool box, gas, filter oil, body clips, extra steerring parts ( I recommend getting this becase I break these components the most ), and air filter oil.
