Rc crawlers seem to be the most popular here, but does anyone build/fly rc planes?

no... my bud is into heli and has a mess of them.. he gave me 1.. but it isnt that fun.
I used to do fast.. i sold my old tmaxx to a member here. Would love to remember who as Id love to get it back.. sniff sniff... my first nitro...
fast = breaks = $$$$$$$$$$$$
Got my scx10 out for a good burn, got to run it a good hour with out a breakdown. I put a set of aluminum knuckles up front as well as a better aluminum tie rod as I bent the other and destroyed the tie rod and smashed a plastic knuckle.
I wasn't but my brother was.
He built planes and I built cars.

I want it!
Went out with a few guys the other day.
The wraith had a mamba brushless setup, 4700kv I think. Was real hairy. The scx with c10 body has a hpi brushless setup in it, was quite impressed with how well it crawled.

Also put a 27t motor back in with the 12 tooth pinion.
It had a 20t motor before, I quite like it more now

I havent bought one yet cuz i stopped playing with 1/10 rc... stuck on 1/24 micros..... but no time to work on either...

I did shortly after I posted last night.
Got me thinking now
Rather put a mamba max motor in my slash next, crawling will be coming to a close shortly for the winter season here
35T will slow it down. Higher the turns, slower the truck- more torque, and way more run time. Great for low speed technical stuff, and a 35T on 3S Lipo wakes up pretty good too when you need wheel speed.
We were running 85T motors geared 12/87 on a 2S 3300mah lipo in SCX10's and getting 4-5 HOURS of run time per battery. They only went like 1mph, but that's crazy!

4-5 hours is pretty damn good. Can get 2 hours on my 2s 5000 with the 27t motor.
Here's a Chevy I have:
And a Blazer from a while ago:

Ordered a level 3 chassis mounted servo/panhard kit. Nothing fit
Right where the servo was to be relocated too. I suspect being I have a lift in it is why.
Mounted servo to stock frame cross member, used panhard mount and panhard with some modifying to make it work. Looks like I should build a mount and lower it same as ghe drag link.
Shortened upper links to fix the castor.
All in all, handles like a new truck. It actually steers now

Nice. That's my biggest complaint with mine, is the damn ten foot turn radius. Even stock with 1.9"s.
Do 4wh steer or axle mods. Depending on axle u have

I have the stock scx10 axles still. Planning on upgrading as soon as I break something.
