Welcome people

Good luck with your build. Sounds like a fun project.

Instead of having a plan and not winging it, I might suggest just go for it and see what happens.

Welcome. First, try to search the forum using the name of the vehicle you have to see if there are existing threads that can help. If you don't find any, post a new thread here in the Rookie section with the brand & model of the vehicle you have and what issues you are running into...

if all else fails you can ask here. It gets weird there though.

Hi All,
Just made a thread to introduce myself that didn't post and then see this thread.
I recently pulled my Kyosho ST-RR out of hibernation. Last time I ran at a small but fun track near me was in 2012. I've been googling stuff for about a month to get back into RC and this community has helped a lot without knowing on some decisions so I figured I would join the community of those that are about RC as I really want to get into it and possibly get into racing next year. I even got my wife a 1/16 E-REVO she picked out to get her into RC. God willing this will be our first weekend out after my recent order from Amain arrives today so she can learn to drive and I can see if this old Nova N21BF Limited is still what I remember it to be. I have a new Nova Rolling with the Nova 41021/9901 combo to go in and start getting ready to start practicing at tracks. I live in NYC and know that Barnstormers in Chester,NY is probably the closest for me to start practicing at being about 1hr and 45mins away. A recent talk with one of the guys at the nearest hobby shop also let me know of LCRC in PA and google showed me one in CT that are both over 2hrs away. Happy to be getting back into RC and grateful for this forum.
Well that's a little bit about me and why I'm here.

Regards,
CJ

Alright, I'm new to track driving and haven't driven RC since 2006. About a year ago I got the itch to get some of my old junk going again. Duratrax nitro evader ST, traxxas jato, and some exceed hobbies nitro 4wd buggy. My first project was the exceed. Converted it to electric with the driveline from a MP9 that a buddy gave me. Ran it on 4s, which was pointless but fast as heck. Parked that and started working on the Jato and the evader. As of today I have converted the evader into a 2wd 17.5 stock buggy that rips at the indoor clay track I like to run at. That car was easy compared to the work I did on the jato...I made it into a short course truck. Still setting up the chassis but it is a ton of fun. My kid runs a b5m that i never need to do anything to, it just works and keeps going. I was given, awhile ago, a 22-4 and last night I finally got it sitting on 4 wheels as a truggy! I'll post Pics as soon as I'm allowed to.

New to the site, and am happy to be here. I race sct, 2wd buggy, ebuggy, and bash a scx10. Looking to pick up a cheap 4s lipo from here✌️

I've been building a few cars with my 9 year old son. He has a b5m. I'm almost done with converting a 22-4 into a truggy. I'm running a jato I converted into an electric short course truck, and a 2wd 17.5 buggy I built from a duratrax nitro evaded ST. I've also been learning how to paint bodies. I did all the bodies we are running, and have started doing some for others.

Raced over 20 years ago, going to retire soon and thought I would do it again. So much has changed!!! My predicament is there is a track in town 20 minutes away that seems to race 1/8. I am trying to get a very complete list of what they do race. This track races during spring and summer. Another track about an hour away race 1/10 during the fall and winter. Of course just starting i would rather have one car for all but then again I don't want to be the only one on the track. I am looking for advice even though I am waiting on all the facts to make my decision. I am leaning towards a 1/8 e buggy at this time and could use some suggestions.
Thanks
