227 Remote Controlled Cars

If you've got a few hundred bucks to spare and are in search of a new hobby, I highly recommend getting into rc cars. It might sound childish but just try to hear me out.

A few years back I got a carbon fighter 1/10 (one tenth the size of an actual car) which came with everything except batteries and a charger. [The version I got isn't available anymore] With the standard setting and recommended lipo battery it could drive up to 30 kmh which is fast alright for such a small car. I had alot of fun driving it pretty much anywhere from skate parks to parking lots. Eventually I started to tune it massively to the point that it became straight up dangerous. I had to swap out a small key component and was able to upgrade from a 7.4V Lipo Battery to a 11.1V Lipo which might not sound huge but that alone rose its max speed to over 80kmh. Although it was already at the point where I barely needed to tap the trigger to make the car go at its old top speed I upgraded it even further.

Since I already upgraded the battery, I decided to go for some bigger wheels. I naturally picked the biggest monster truck looking wheels I could find that would still fit on a 1/10 which were at least twice the size of standard 1/10 wheels. Going at full throttle the wheels expanded to at least twice their originally already massive size. To be honest, I'm not sure what the theoretical max speed of my tuned car was at that point.

The appearance of my car is also unrecognizable considering how many times I wrecked it. In the beginning it had a metal cage that was meant to protect the insides which was completely ruined after a rather nasty crash into a ditch. So I just removed it and completely sealed the plastic cover with some duck tape with a cool design. If you want to get an idea of what I'm talking about just google Carbon Fighter 1/10, although the ones that will show up are the slightly different newer models.

I pretty much had to repair my car on an almost weekly basis from replacing broken parts to bringing out my dual hammers to reshape the main metal board. I also used quite a bit of extremely strong glue whenever possible. It's actually kind of surprising how durable the main metal plate was considering how I bent the front out of shape on numerous occasions and was still able to beat it back into shape every single time. I mainly used 2 hammers since I would otherwise risk hitting something else.
