My Txt codename Twitchy

[Arvin]

Hey Guys! Been browsing on this site long enough and got to thinking that it's about time that I post a pic of Twitchy and his friends. The trucks almost done as soon as I receive my 23mm adapters from Bender(thanks bud for all the help) and my new 4ch radio and 330oz/torque 5955hitec servo. The cars are both drift setup (tl01 and a tb02). And my "therapeutic"(sp) stress release system. I have a spyder tl, regular spyder, 32 Degrees Autococker,1st gen Angel with turbo board, Shocker Turbo, And my personal fave my custom 98 WGP Autococker and all of them are running nitro(compressed) Enjoy!!!!

Funny how they call it "drifting" now. We used to call it bad handling.

Sure I'll let you guys know. My local lhs told me they are all the same prices on the titanium geared servos so why not go for the strongest. The tranny is an emaxx locked on first gear. I just installed my new Robinson Racing 72 Metal spur .I will update the pix soon.

It's just a regular plastic box from the dollar store that i cut the compartments out. keeps my electronics dry, cuz I will be running this truck through snow as soon as winter comes.

Lol I know what you mean. It looks like the cars have drunk drivers heheheehe

[FrankyRizzo]

In my honest opinion you get any R/C touring car on any street surface and it will "drift" just fine. Do they drift nitro or is it just electric?

Not just any street surface, smoother asphalt will yeild better results(mall parking lots)Electrics are better drifters because in drifting you need torque. Bliping the throtle while on a slide will control how long and how steep your turning angle is, on nitro you have to build up the torque, although there are nitro drift conversions available now its still not up to par with electrics. And any touring car is capable of drifting as long as you set the suspension right and have a tourque motor installed.

So your saying that if I got a tc3 and put a lathe motor init it would be the ultimate drifter eh?

It could work if your good enough to countersteer with all that torque

Dude, are you in to Paintball or what. That is a lot of money laying there with your truck ( nice truck by the way).
I used to play speed ball tournaments, I played with a hopped up Automag RT.

[FrankyRizzo]

I used tp have a full electronic autococker myself. $100 a weekend in paint got expensive real fast.

[Arvin]

Yup used to play tourneys with friends. We actually got sponsored by the paintball field that we play in and most of the purchases were almost 50% off giving me extra money for paint and all. My fave gun is my 98 auto cocker its a sidefeed with a lot of mods. looks stock but all the internals are from a sto cocker and full pull on the trigger only needs 1/8th of an inch to acheive. Very sensitive trigger.

[Arvin]

Took a while for me to get new pics but here it goes.
Some new pics with the new wheels, will get some outdoor shots tommorow

I noticed that you are using a mx3. Did you mod it?

[rckjeep]

two words TOO TALL. Lower that thing will ya. Center clearence is WAY over-rated. My Txt have just a bit more than my TLT.

I'm using a hitec laser 4 not the mx3 gives me independent steering. I just changed radios and kept the mx3 for my cars. And rckjeep I tried lowering the center clearance but it made the truck perform very badly. I know my cg is a bit too high but its working out for me. The truck can climb about a 70 to 80 degree incline wihtout toppling over so im quite happy with it right now.
