/diy/ - Do It Yourself

So, a buddy of mine cleared his barn out and gave all of this to me. I've never had nitro shit before but i had a good rc car as a kid like 20 years ago and ive been wanting another ever since.

I don't know a lot about this stuff yet and just got it but I do know enough to be beyond fucking exited!

He said they will start on their own but have sat forever. I do have a couple of other buddies that can probably help me get them running.

With drones out now i don't really have any use for the choppers. Never flown either one yet but I'm told if you aren't an old school helicopter pilot it's better to build or buy a drone.

I guess I'll probably pay it foward on the choppers. Or try and Frankenstein an fpv boat together in the near future.

I'll settle for just one of these cars running to lightly bash around on.

As i said I've not even bee around this shit in 20 years but I'm looking around youtube now on how to get them running.

Any tips with the cars, what to do with the choppers, or how to convert to brushless is appreciated.

I may just bring it all into an rc club after fixing it up and trade for some nice electric cars or a drone. Not sure yet.

I do know that these aren't cheap and I'm grateful for them. I plan to pay it forward soon somehow though.
