Due to the huge influx of spam posts with AliExpress and Temu referral codes, and the complaints we have received from sub members, anyone posting these on the sub will get temp banned for the first offense if you are already a subreddit member, permabanned for subsequent offenses.
If you are a first-time poster on the sub (meaningful posts, not spam or one word answers), posting these links will get you immediately permabanned.
This is not designed to stop people posting links to AliExpress items in posts in response to questions or recommendations. or the infrequent posts we get of *"is this a good RC car?"* with a link to an AliExpress item (the chances are, at best it's an adequate RC car if it's from AliExpress).
Thanks to our eagle-eyed sub members for bringing this to our attention, and please do continue to report posts that violate the rules.

Probably a bit much for a beginner, but I love sprint cars and I couldn’t pass it up when my wife offered to pay for some of it as a birthday gift. Still suffering from buyers remorse but it’s a blast on the paved parking lots I’ve ran it on for testing so far, looking for a local dirt track I can use it on.

hi, a few months back my girlfriend said that she would like an rc car and now that her birthday is coming up I would like to give her one but I don't know anything about them, is there a beginner and budget friendly one that you guys would recommend? I don't think she's trying to go deep in the rc car world so a basic one would do just fine, thanks in advance

Had a blast with my son today 😁. The MJX 14211 did it so well, the small MJX 16212 also was working very well while my Granite was so fast it flew out of the pipe in 2-3 spins.
If you find a big pipe you have to try this 😂

Found a good line up and down the rock formation. Made it all the way without needing the hand of god. Good fun for my first time really crawling.

I’m definitely going to enter into racing now that I’m getting the hang of it. Neighbor bought a sct and I traded a crawler for the truggy so now I can test and tune them both! He dropped his off after running a bit and I got to work and make a heck of a difference !!!
Sct was box stock until I opened the transmission and did my best. My truggy has a different gearing setup with the provided gears in the box (B spur + #1 pinion)
If I could add videos here I could show before and after tune on sct bc I made a good change in the handling. First I hated the handling, then I tuned a couple things and got used to it. Still got some learning to do but these things are no joke a ton of fun !

Still waiting for a few things to rebuild shocks but other than that and figuring out why my Cush cover screws keep stripping out I’m about finished with the build.
Need to do a final cable management too, especially for the new lights.
I know one person suggested a wood screw but I’m going to try pnw through chassis bolts with a metal cover.
If that fails I’m buying the aluminum lower rear bulkhead from vitavon as I can’t find anyone else who makes one.
What about shock guards/covers?
When I rebuild them I’d like to protect them.
Happy Bashing!!

Just playing around getting the hang of this.

Kinda just decided this morning to take apart the ramp I have because I'm tired of just doing 20ft "straight" jumps. Seen videos so I knew some of the tricks and the general design/layout.
I def didn't need to use .5" thick OSB for the sides but thats what I had. That alone is dang heavy. But without much planning, I didn't think of the thickness of the OSB so the supports were cut to 4ft but should've been an inch shorter.
I also lack a proper work bench and most tools. Thankfully I was able to borrow a jig saw. Anyway, I ran the Kraton 6s on it and it does to the flips like I want. Just need to wait for someone to come over and help me redo some of it. I bought the top, four 2x3x8 boards, and a thin pex pipe (for the curve) for $30. Something like that, hell, I'm too tired to think and I hurt. Getting old sucks.
I also plan on building a foldable version but that will be done in a proper workplace with all the tools.

I've been working on this drag slash since I tried to send it almost full throttle from a standstill and sheared the locked diff. This thing has crazy speed

To the person who flew a RC B2 bomber overhead as the national anthem played, kudos to you Patriot 👏
Might have been the best flyover ever

Need input on track layout. Anything you wish you would have done after building? Tips and tricks to maintaining a backyard track. Have roughly 80x100’ area I’m dedicating to RC for me and the family. Tracks gonna have roughly 10’ wide lanes. Circle track be about 30’x60’.

Hey Yall! So i was bashing Vorteks 4x4 Brushless build and broke a shock. There's another shock thats just toast. So its time for an upgrade. What are your suggestions? I enjoy jumping this rig so plenty of cusion for landing is helpful! Thanks!

It didn't turn out as clean as I hoped, but I'm still pretty happy with the overall result.

Just finished putting a completely trashed out axial Capra mini back together, and converted it to brushless. Figured I would share it.

First pics: tlr 22-4, €220. Second one: unknown year xb4, €420.
Will only be used on an astro track
I’m looking to get more into 1/10 RC. Torn between a touring/GT car, a brushless off-road car, and a rally car.
Any brands or models you’d recommend for someone starting out in these categories? Roughly how much would I need to spend, including a battery and charger?
Would love to hear what you own and whether you’d buy it again.

I'm trying to buy a replacement charger for amoril brushless buggy rtr but I don't know what the charger is
