How much did that thing cost you to build anyway?Since your retiring it, wanna sell it?  |
this thing all started out as restoration a restoration project for one of my old non-working nitro r/c cars (I was into rc cars way before i got into airsoft).
I spent around $200-250 restoring / converting it to electric and to get it up and running again. then figured why don't i try to make some air-soft use out of this.
one thing lead to another and id say i ended up spending another $500 or so (the video goggles on my helmet is what cost the most @ $300)
I've retired it for a few reasons
1: this thing was built for speed, it pops wheelie's when you accelerate, pulls stoppies / flips over when you break to hard, rolls at high speed turning. the turning radius is also pretty huge. So I'm pretty limited to where i can use it. that warehouse where rhino 2 took place was ideal.
2: the ACM claymore stinks.... the remote range stinks & every once in a while when i pop a wheelie it automatically triggers. i was planning to improve the trigger mechanism and wire the trigger to my radio, but got lazy and never got around to doing it.
3: I would rather spend the money on something more useless........ like a flying version of this abomination mwhaha
