RC Cars - Hey!? It's a motorsport!

[Beau Hudspeth]

Here are a few shots of my Associated TC4 1/10th electric touring car. Trying to match scale is somewhat of a challenge, but it was a lot of fun to do non the less. I shot the first three on the empty top deck of a park-&-ride. The other two are in front of new condos at the end of our street.

C&C all you want! :)

Nice shots. I just found a TC4 kit and built it, but still saving for the electronics and a new radio. lol. What motor and ESC are you running?

[Desertraptor]

Nice shots

VEry near scale looking

[Pete]

Great shots... I recently dusted off my old Kyosho DTM, it still goes pretty good.

<Reminds self to look on eBay for better bodies>

[asxu]

these could quite possibly pass as the real thing, they just have that 'plastic' look to them. that being said though, great shots, nice and sharp.. i like the lighting too.

[TeeJay]

Nice photo's, like the angles. All look good to me, except maybe the last has a "plastic feel" to it.

I love the first and second shot.

Is that the HPI 200mm 350Z body? I was thinking of getting that for my Mongoose. Great job on the body and the pic, btw.

Yes it is. I just couldn't go with the blue body. Yak! Thanx!

[veteq]

Great shots. I raced RC cars for a few years. I started with the Serpent 1/10 and 1/8 scale and later the Nitro TC3. Lots of fun but very expensive hobby.

[jdizzle]

Cool Beau! It's nice to have another hobby, eh? =)

[Livinthalife]

How much does this entire kit cost?

BTW the first two shots look like the actual car! Very sleek! Very nice shots, and car!

BTW the first two shots look like the actual car! Very sleek! Very nice shots, and car!This was a Ready to Run kit and was $240.00. The body is an HPI and as well as the wheels.

You can also see it in the Team Associated Racer Spotlight, September 2007 (http://www.teamassociated.com/racerhub/racerspotlight/pictures/09.07/09.07.racerspot.htm) and in the November issue of RC Driver in the Readers Rides section. It is also in the BG of a few national ads I did for Cheap Batter Packs.com (http://www.cheapbatterypacks.com/)

Hey! I have seen you in TRCZ :lol:

[Beau Hudspeth]

Hey! I have seen you in TRCZ :lol:Why, yes ... yes you have!

[Echo63]

1 and 2 look great
3,4 and 5 kinda need the body pins cloning out

they look great though, you have done a great job of matching the scale

[Canon_For_Life]

haha, yeah..Im losi/trinity on there, that place is pretty much dead, so i spend most of my time here instead (mostly because i just got an XTi and im new to all the photography and everything...gotta do my readin up!

[JuZ]

Very nice, almost convincing :)

[RocknE30]

Nice shots! I've got an NTC3, RC10GT, and a Mini Quake, but they've just been collecting dust lately especially since I'm living on campus at az state. The first two are really nice, I really like the clouds in the background, we don't see them very often here in hell ;) I go by nitroboy24 over at RCZ, but I haven't been posting there much lately. I just checked and wow, that place really is dead. I read something about them updating the boards, so that could be an explanation.

[Beau Hudspeth]

Thanks all!

[paul79uf]

I think you did an excellent job of matching the scale and making it look like a real car.

Your pics make me want to buy an RC car. I used to have a nitro Traxxas stadium track a long time ago. :)

[Mediation]

Very cool. An RC car has always been my childhood want. But i feel that i am getting to the point where it wont suit my age :(

Never too old. There are tons of older people racing at the local track here.

[HaTa]

What do those do for mph ? They look fun.

[Canon_For_Life]

It all depends on the things you put in them, what car it is, and what kind.

they can range anywhere from the cheapy speed of 10 MPH to upwards of 70, again, all depending on what type of car, the equipment in it, and the amount of cash in your wallet :lol:

I've also wanted an R/C car for the longest time. Are there some good sites you guys can recommend for more information? I'm looking for a car that can go off-road, and I'll probably go with nitro powered.
