I have 3 Rc cars, A new stampede that I only drove few times because of the DAMN MECHANICAL SPEED CONTROL. Always go with ESC. I've got an old duratrax Maximum ST Pro that I beat to shit. The thing would do 50 mph easy and when it crashed, it was expensive. Now im all about electric, and I just bought a Team Associated RC18T. Its a 1/18 scale 4wd truck. Its the most fun I've ever had with a rc car. It keeps up with 1/10th scale statium trucks with ease. I've got a reedy minimax motor in it and all aluminum chassis.

I'm from Wethersfield, dont have a shee but I'd love to take my Kx125 out again before winter.

Get a lipo if you want really long runtimes. Or a 3300 size battery will give you around 25 minutes. Make sure to cycle the battery properly. I've got a stampede and an RC18T. The RC18 is a little freaking beast. Its got a modified motor and will spin all 4 wheels without hesitation. So yeah, go with a lipo if youve got the money, but a bigger size batter will do.

I haven't posted on this site in awhile and I'm just checkin in to see whats up with the Banshee world. I recently bought a 1986 Suzuki GSX550 for 900 bucks. It runs perfect. Anyone else ride motorcycles? Btw the other day I saw a guy with a 250r frame with the same engine from my gsx in it. Looked great and sounded awesome but I didnt see it go. I was thinking maybe a hybrid with my engine when I eventually step up to a 600 sportbike.

Anyone who wants to help, post this on any other forums you frequent. Boycotting Shell would be awesome.

Got an e-mail today from a buddy. Thought i'd pass this along to my fellow HQers (this e-mail applies to canadians so i'm not sure what the american equivalence would be) Heres the e-mail: Dear friends & family, It is rumored that we are going to hit close to a $1.42 a Litre by the summer. Want gasoline prices to come down? We need to take some intelligent, united action. Phillip Hollsworth offered this good idea: This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the don't buy gas on a certain day campaign that was going around last April or May! The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn't continue to hurt ourselves by refusing to buy gas. It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them. BUT, this is a plan that can really work. Please read it and join with us! We all know that we're being controlled by the oil companies. Does everyone remember how they drove up the prices way past a dollar and got the gas prices to where they wanted them, claiming there was a shortage of oil. Well, there isn't any shortage now, and the oil is more abundant than it was 35 years ago when the price of a litre of gas was 29 cents!!! Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a litre of gas is CHEAP at $0.78-$0.85, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the marketplace....not sellers. With the price of gasoline going up more each day, we consumers need to take action. The only way we are going to see the price of gas come down is if we hit someone in the pocketbook by not purchasing their gas! And we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves. How? Since we all rely on our cars, we can't just stop buying gas. But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if we all act together to force a price war. Here's the idea: For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY gasoline from the two biggest companies (which now are one), PETRO CANADA, SHELL. If they are not selling any gas, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit. But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of PETRO CANADA and SHELL buyers. Its really simple to do!! Now, don't whimp out on me at this point...keep reading and Ill explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!! I am sending this note to at least thirty people. If each of you send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300) ... and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000)...and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth generation of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers! If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been contacted! If it goes one level further, you guessed it..... THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!! Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all. How long would all that take? If each of us sends this email out to ten more people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next 8 days!!! Ill bet you I didn't think you and I had that much potential, did you! Acting together we can make a difference. If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on. PLEASE HOLD OUT UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $0.64 OR LESS RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK!!!!!!!

Pleased to meet ya Stealth...im Jim, i own a 20 million dollar recording studio in Los Angeles California, i built it from the ground up, from pouring the slabs to wiring all 80 thousand patch points ill smoke bud as i see fit, been puffin 25 years, dont do powder nor ever had the urge too, like a cold beer with a hot meal, sometimes i wont puff for months, other times several times a week i think if your a moron your fucked its just that simple, sometimes a guy just needs to relax to cope with the assholes in his enviorment, i remember when weed actually made you see shit, you mentioned drugs? i have kids too, taking them to mcdonalds is feeding them drugs, coffee is a drug, fuckin air in LA is a pack a day habit, id shit if my kids did drugs, but theres a difference between being 40 and 10 years old, most parents wouldnt blink if there 21 year old boy showed up at the house with a 12 pack, id rather see that same kid show up with a joint myself, as some judge sips whiskey from a flask in his desk he declares pot a crime, if weed was not a crime the goverment would loose billions of dollars a year taking it and its proceeds from people Also a very good point. Unlike the lowlife loser stereotype marijuana user, many people use marijuana as a recreational drug, and are still very successful.

Exactly, and they can atleast give TRUE information to try to scare people, not some shit the government tries to make everyone believe.

I understand your point of view. All im saying is that article is complete bullshit most of the facts arent true. Im not in any way supporting adolesent drug use.

Marijuana has Numerous Effects on Teens By Sandy Agostine, For The Daily Press Marijuana is the most widely used illicit drug in this country. During the last six years, we have seen a doubling in use among 8th graders and significant increases among high school individuals. The physical effects of marijuana use, particularly on developing adolescents, can be substantial. Marijuana contains one of the most destructive chemicals found in any drug. This chemical is delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). THC can stay in a person's body form three weeks to four months. It can harm an individual's memory along with their ability to learn and understand. Regular smoking can very quickly and slowly cause the user not to have any motivation. Marijuana adversely affects the user's immune system, heart, brain and lungs. The most frequent myth I hear from adolescents is that marijuana is safer for their bodies than cigarettes. With each "toke", marijuana smokers inhale more than 150 cancer-causing substances (cigarettes have 43 known carcinogens) and nearly twice as much tar as they would from a tobacco cigarette. Studies have shown that someone who smokes five joints per week may be taking in as many cancer-causing chemicals as a person who smokes a pack of cigarettes every day. Not only does this affect the respiratory system; it also impairs the ability of T-cells in the lungs' immune defense system to fight off some infections. Many pot smokers have more frequent chest colds and dry hacking coughs. Another misconception many people have is that marijuana is not physically addicting. Although individuals don't die from marijuana withdrawal, this does not mean that it isn't both psychologically and physically addicting. Withdrawal can cause flu-like symptoms along with irritability, tremor, anxiety and sleeplessness. These symptoms are usually mild and last for three to four days. Marijuana usage also harms the brain and leads to impaired short-term memory, perception, judgment and motor skills. Perhaps most noticeable to others is that a pot smokers mind is cloudy, their thoughts do not flow smoothly. This is because THC causes a dense material to clog the tiny gaps between nerve cells in the brain, making communication between these cells very difficult. In males, marijuana reduces the levels of the male hormone testosterone. Boys between the ages of 10 and 20 years especially need this hormone because it helps them develop into physically mature men. Furthermore, researchers have found abnormalities in the spermatozoa of heavy smokers. Studies are being done to find out if these can fertilize and egg; therefore causing birth defects. In females, the testosterone level increases. This may cause women to develop dark body hair, facial hair and acne. Because human eggs are present in women from birth, the eggs are vulnerable to damage from prolonged marijuana use. Since THC can accumulate in the reproductive tissues, this can cause problems for a developing fetus because it is still in danger of being harmed by active ingredients in THC. It is also known to interfere with cell division, a process basic to development. This may cause symptoms similar to Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). These symptoms include small size, varying degrees of mental retardation and abnormalities of the limbs. While current marijuana usage has increased by high school seniors, the proportion of those who believe it is harmful has dropped dramatically. Marijuana is clearly a harmful drug that poses a threat to our children at a critical point in their development. If you have any questions about drugs, or how to talk to your children about drug abuse, there are many resources available to you in your community. Please don't hesitate to reach out for help.

"The most frequent myth I hear from adolescents is that marijuana is safer for their bodies than cigarettes. With each "toke", marijuana smokers inhale more than 150 cancer-causing substances (cigarettes have 43 known carcinogens) and nearly twice as much tar as they would from a tobacco cigarette." I'm not sure about the number of carcinogens but that smells of bullshit, as well as the fact that 6 of the world's deadliest carcinogens are in cigs and there are none of those particular ones in MJ.. Also i guess nobody ever told this jackass about the diffence between unfiltered smoke and that which passes through a filter.. UNFILTERED CIGARETTE SMOKE IS TWICE AS LOADED WITH TAR AND MUCH MORE SATURATED BY POWERFUL CARCINOGENS THAN MARIJUANA - again im not sure about the number of different carcinogens but the cancer causing substances are MUCH more concentrate in cigs.. also this *edit* woman * flat out lies about withdrawl symptoms.. I have not ever had the shakes when i couldn't find bud.. anyone here who has? be honest because i haven't ever met anyone in my life who has, that wasn't joking or lying to sound cool because they barely smoke in the first place. In fact the only serious symptom this cumswilling asshat has listed under withdrawl symptoms is sleepiness, and it takes me a REALLY good stoning to get tired off buddha these days.. I mean honestly, I dont get angry, start shaking, get sick OR become paranoid, Especially not from a LACK of bud on the last count.. and as far as I am concerned the only thing i have seen anyone become paranoid about when using bud is tha fuckin PO-PO yo! *edit*And i got that out of my system when i learned how to smoke pot without being a dumb jackass and doing things that get you caught.* Honestly as far as i am concerned I would rather not have kids at this point in my life anyway, and NO SHIT YOU NEED TO STOP TOKIN IF YOU'RE EXPECTING!! If you are having trouble getting pregnant and you really want to, STOP SMOKING FOR 4 MONTHS AND ALL THE EFFECTS OF MARIJUANA ON YOUR REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM ARE ENTIRELY GONE, if you're really being affected mentally by weed in a way that is making your life difficult then cut back and smoke on the weekends to relax, weed is a recreational drug and if you can't handle it every day and maintain your life then dont try to! people pay a price for being alcoholics in the workplace as well, you would be retarded to deny that! I believe that the symptoms and sideeffects of marijuana are minimal, at best, and well worth it. Alcohol is HORRIBLE for the human body, and while drunken a person is MUCH more of a danger to society and themselves, not to mention the lack of ability to do ANYTHING after a long night of hard drinking.. not only the normal grogginess that you get from having alcohol still in your system from that night, but as many people get, Hangovers can really f*ck up your day! I'm sorry but i get angry when i see some of the things people try to say about marijuana.. and to say that it is worse for the body and mind than tobacco and alcohol is just complete nonsense and sheer tomfoolery.

Thnx for all the replies, any more opinions?

I voted 3 times

Yeah I would get a CR, but they dont make them new anymore, and I dont want to deal with used bikes. And led, yea i rode my kx125 a few times, but every time I ride the shit breaks. (Rode it 3 times, and something went wrong everytime.) Now I am looking for something reliable, and I know that the 4 stroke 250s are pretty reliable. I also heard that the 500s rarley need rebuilds. Reliability is the main thing im looking for, or else I would buy a 250 2-stroke.
