Adrenaline Rush when playing RC Cars??

[9VDXN]

Quite interesting discussion when I was talking to a few friends online whom I didn't know were rc car fanatics...

Maybe I dunno how to appreciate RC car racing, but i discovered that they get their kick when they can pull off a fast corner....One even mentioned about how they felt when the blood rush to their brains as they approach a left handed chicane at almost top speed, and they even described the feeling they had when the car pulled through...

I know different people have different ways of having fun, but wonder why I dun have that kinda feeling when racing my cars previously......maybe that's why I'm flying rc helis now...

I think you will also get the rush if you 100% hop up your car..... i.e. after paying $2000 or more on it... and going around a far tight corner of the circuit at 45mph..... knowing once you bang the car.. you going to loose a few hundreds........

Well, at least they wouldn't have to worry about the rotor blades chopping us up into pieces

this is a very interesting topic.

i have a high end nitro 1/10 car and had race a couple of times in the pass but i still enjoy having fun with my kakis on the race track. its actually the fun of being able to run the cars with a group of people that is fun .. for heli and planes there is no competition of any sort in singapore, thus cars are something to look forward to as there are monthly races!!!

if you really want to feel the rush try 1/8 cars.. in excess of 80km/h !!! on the long straight..

I think me also one who cannot appreciate r/c cars...never gotten any rush or shiok feeling even with 1/8...it is more of a fun thing compared to planes and heli..more of talking cock and racing to kill time...

when it comes to plane and heli, it is totally different...heli used to give me sweaty palms and weakness in the leg, after every flight, I feel as if I juz finished a gp exam...now plane give me the kick, even while it is on the ground picking up speed to take off, I can feel my heart beat, the feeling is not what words can describe...

Started with RC car, moved to FP micro heli, gave it up, switched to planes, and now back to large helis & CP micros....I still think Rc Heli gives the most thrill factor because every flight is a different experience...

Somehow, I cannot get the thrills with cars even though I'm a bloody big fan of F1. Tried road cars, buggys, MTs, but all macham no kick leh...

you are one guy hard to pleased hehe..

just like me...


play 1/10 nitro then fly micro heli then nitro heli now planes and just got my f5d plane for more speed !!!

[9VDXN]

Yeah...but i still no balls to try 3D on my heli...
Wait till I'm sick of normal Hovering & basic FF, I shall do that...

anyone here tried fast bl on their car? i'm no refering to novak ss5800 cos its similar to a 11t brushed only.If yes what kind of combo/setup?

[fuse]

dunno never tried Bl on ep cars because they will never be more powerful then a Novarossi engine hehehehe

[Rcaddict]

i've been reading on ppl using bl with lipo and seems that its the "in" thing now read from some thread that their bl is able to compete or better than the higher end RB engine nitros in terms of accelleration n mid end, but top end will loose out as they do not dare to gear higher for their system fearing it will kil their lipo cells. but for bl running on lipos, reaching 60mph doesn seem to be big problem.

[Rcaddict]

btw, they have been using bl on 1/8 buggies, so in terms of power, i think bl is good enough too, just need to get the correct combinations

Fun Fun Fun

As long it is RC , it is fun and excitement. Started playing cars form 1/12 on road to 1/8 Buggy to 1/8 on road.
But nothing beats 1/8 on road man.The ultimate racing machine!

Doing heli and planes now.Have more time to spend with family while in this category.
What is the best way to get a JR Airskipper?

How about the 1/1 at PG or Sepang?

Don't mind when some one T Bone me on the 1/10 track... would hate it when someone T bone me on a 1:1 at Sepang... esp if he T Bone me from the right.
