My Cheap RC | Showntell yours here folks!

27.6k Jetpackturtle  6.0 years ago

So lately I've been talking about my RC cars, cuz a couple forums were about RC.
Here's what I'm talking about.



It's a WLTOYS 12428.
It's got a 540 motor and it does 25 MPH on a good day.
And it cost me...
drumroll
70 dollars.
Then there's this:

It used to look like this:

I put some sand tire gear on it, dropped a brushless 380 in it, and painted it matte black. It does 20 MPH.
My brother also has a big cheap RC helicopter (20 bucks) but I fly it 90% of the time XD

and used to have a FPV drone.
What's your RC?

    two Brushless quads: an FT Gremlin, and an Eachine Racer 250.
    3 Brushed RTF quads: Blade Nano QX (my first), Dromida Ominus (first "fast" quad) and a now broken Hubsan X4

    Try checking the servo and receiver connections, that may be your problem @Strikefighter04

    I hit it against a small curb, and it started acting weird, and then it wouldn't turn, the truck wouldn't go, so :( I'm going to try to reset all the electrical connections. @Jetpackturtle

    My brother (@Bo123) got a really nice RC car. Grampus I think it’s called. It’s top speed is 70kph. Me and him also share a quadcopter. The lily drone it’s called. That is very slow. Slower than the car.

    A Traxxas Stampede 4x4. App. $350. Got it on Christmas. Can survive almost anything. 30+ mph. High ground clearance. The best dream RC truck. Got broke today.
    .
    I also have a Tamiya Lunch Box. Runs nice, but slow. Horrible turning. Idk the price because I've had it for about 3 or 4 years.
