Welcome to the madhouse, Dorada!

How goes things? What do you run, and how long have you been into R/C? There's plenty of help at all levels for you in these hallowed pages.

You are not wrong there, but ask before you buy.
There are some good deals out there if you know where to look. Sometimes its best to shop here in the UK, but the USA and Hongkong can also save you a tidy penny on certain things. Ebay is another useful resource, but you have to be a little careful here at times.

May advise, don't go mad on hop-up as most kits are best left in stock form. I've found it better to put spare money towards extra models. This way if you break one, you have another waiting to replace it whislt yoi buy the (cheaper stock) spare part

When you say new to the hobby. Does this mean you have an RC or are just looking to get one?

Hi Everybody here at rc kingdom,

My name is barry my friend call me bazza so please feel free to do so
It's great to finally find a decent forum site that knows what there talking about.I am new to nitro rc cars and trucks user but bashed about with the electric ones for about 13 years on and off.
I've had the acme conquistador for 3-4 weeks now and loving every minute of it can anyone give me any good hints and tips.

Ps for all acme users here are two sites good for spares:
www.nitrotec.co.uk and www.sriremotetoys.co.uk

cheers for now speak soon
bazza

Hi Bazza,

I'd love to know what electric models you were running. There must be the odd classic there spanning a 13 year gap. You may want to look again at the electric market, batteries and motors are amazing now. Nitrotek are great, many on here trust and use them. The other shop is much newer though, never heard of them. Seems many more companies are now getting the same stock as Nitrotek, bet they are miffed about that $:-\$ Good for us lot though, competition drives the prices down

Bazza · « **Reply #58 on:** February 25, 2008, 09:32:26 PM »

cheers for the reply laughing potato,

The electric models I used to run were all tamiya like the grasshopper,hornet,mad bull,blackfoot and the mid night pumpkin but not all at the same time. I think this site is great what cars/trucks do you run and how long have you been into the Rc world.
do you know much about the acme conquistador as this is my first nitro

Laughing Potato · « **Reply #59 on:** February 25, 2008, 10:27:54 PM »

The odd thing about the old Tamiya's you have just mentioned is they are pretty much all now available new. Tamiya have over the last few years re-launched much of there back catalogue of models. I don't know much about the conquestidor to be honest, although I am a fan of the Team Infinity engine that powers it.

I was into RC 15 years ago, then took a 10 year break (kids/house etc) back with a bang now though

Bazza · « **Reply #60 on:** February 26, 2008, 07:47:33 PM »

I know what you mean last night I was checking out other rc part sites and found one called www.modlesinmotion.co.uk and yes they have all the old favs by tamiya.whats cars /trucks are you running now you,ve been able to start back up again???.do you race or do you just go bashing in a car park or field, Do you know if there is anyone who can help with my conquistador as I have already made a few upgrades which is really cool

as it has boosted the performance
but there is one or two problems I keep having.
PLEASE CAN SOMEBODY HELP ME

Hello, and yes it's another newbie here,name's tez, i have recently got back into rc, used to have a hughes 500 fixed pitch helicopter, but now have found the new rave of rock crawling, and to start me off i managed to get(the cheep end of the starting blocks) a nylint jeep.have done my first mod(cut the springs to 10 coils instead of standard 13), and it has made a big difference.

Laughing Potato · « **Reply #64 on:** January 08, 2009, 11:11:16 PM »

Welcome to RCK Fangio,

Great little crawlers the Nylints. Just watch the gears on the front axle, they can strip if pushed to hard

torqueypete · « **Reply #65 on:** April 19, 2009, 12:18:23 AM »

I'd just like to welcome everyone to my first post!
If you any need help advising me, just ask.

This is intro thing is going quite well.

I said intro, not nitro!

My first RC car was a Tamiya Wild One. Yes, when they were new on the shelf!
Then various Kyoshos, Associateds, scratch builts. Couldn't compete with the 'Predator', so I took a break. = 20ish yrs.
Back in it now, all secondhand stuff. 3 Associateds, Bosscat, Yokomo TC, and XRAY TC evo2. All electric.
Just bought a Hot Bodies Lightning Truggy on Ebay, to be converted to brushless before it ever runs with my thumb at the wheel. Er, so to speak.
Mostly bashing, vaguely racing, down in Devon.

Das it!

Do you still have it tucked away in the loft or shed. The original Preds can be worth a few bob now, could be worth hunting down.

Welcome to the site

torqueypete · « **Reply #68 on:** May 04, 2009, 04:16:25 PM »

No unfotunately, when I said 'compete with' I meant against the Predator.
And yes, when something is good but not affordable it can become a rarity years later!

And again , no. I don't have one.
