new to rcc

Hey my name is Adam and I am new. I have an axial scx10 honcho. It is slightly modified. Wheels, tires, custom links, custom flatbed.

I live in warren pa and am having a blast with my new hobby.

 

[Lotek]

Hello, I'm Bryson. From Wyoming, just found this site the other day and thought I'd join. New to whole crawler side of RC's. I've been runnin a Losi MRC for a while. Slowly starting to mod it. I mostly run SC's and Nitro monster trucks, but damn, these crawlers are addictive.

 

[Jrob]

well i wanna get into crawling ive been reasearching and my homework i like the way the wriath looks so i was wondering if you can make it into a decent crawler i see everyone changing the tires steering linkages four links and everything eventually the motor and esc i wanna do that but slowly but surely is this something that canbe changed to what i want or would something like the losi night crawler be better suited for me tahnks for your help

The Axial Wraith is an awsome machine, although for you i would recommend an Axial Scx10, they are incredible"thumbsup" they brought the fun back to crawling! if you are looking more to bash around and do a lil crawling then a wraith. if you want to comp crawl get a Enroute berg.:mrgreen:

noo-b

We are noobs, just got intro'ed to rock crawling this morning and now on the prowl for our first. (so any thoughts on that matter is good) We have limited play money but would like to get in and have some fun with it. From ohio. "thumbsup"

 

[Fink]

Just wanted to check in and intro myself.

Name is Chris (people just call me Fink), live in Orlando and just now getting back into R/C. I've owned a couple E-Maxx/T-Maxx' and my original R/C was my Associated RC10T3. Awesome little car.

Ordered my first crawler last week, SCX10 Honcho RTR with two Gens Ace 5000mAh 40C 2S1P batteries and a Thunder AC680 - all after reading through pages and pages of info on this board.

Seems like a great site - I look forward to learning as much as I can. Oh, and don't worry about searching, I'm a Mod on another forum and I'm a searchaholic.

What did all that run you? And would it be ok to run in a stock wraith

I believe it was $114 with free shipping.

For the Wraith I'm not sure - these batteries come with female Banana 4.0 connectors on them, and both your Wraith and my SCX10 come with Tamiya connectors so you will have to decide which direction you want to go.

I will be going with Deans, I just have to decide whether I am comfortable enough to convert them myself (cut/solder) or if I want to get adapters for them.

Check this out for everything you need to know about R/C lipo batteries.

Scroll down about 1/4th of the page and look for the "DISCHARGE RATE" section for an explanation the "C" rating. Generally, the higher the "C" rating the better; from what I have read anyway.

Did you have a hard time converting your Wraith over? I'm a little scared given that I'm such a newb to this stuff.

Without fail, everyday we get tons of newbies posting that they have arrived at our site. While this is great and we welcome you, we don't need a thread for every single person.

If you start a thread like that someone will most likely send you to this thread.

Give us the general info:
Who you are?
What kind of rig you have?
Where you live?

If you have a specific question, be sure to use the search feature, and look around. There is a good chance it's been asked before, if not bring it on!

Hey peeps. Newbie here out of NC. Just got a R1 rock buggy. Still looking for the right esc and motor setup. I'm thinking Tekin FXR and a HD or pro 55t motor. Anyone know the difference between the pro and HD motor. I'm also looking for a hitec servo in the 250oz range. Thoughts. 8)
