Full independent suspension with 8 oil-filled rezzy shocks. Disc brakes. 2 speed auto tranny, forward and reverse. It's 22" long and the tires are 7" high. It's got a 3hp 25,000+ rpm nitro motor. Gimme a week or so to get used to it and I'll post a vid jumpin my house with it I'll be gettin a F-650 body for it soon!

ZillaRider02 Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 I've got a Traxxas Nitro Sport Truck I terrorize the neighborhood animals with. I'm thinking of stepping up in the world with a T-Maxx or some other Nitro drinking 4x4. Cool hobby, but way expensive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedfreak350 Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 nope not anymore invested way to much money in them along tiime ago. ive had about 12 different cars, trucks and buggys all at different times. They are fun and very fast but break easy and cost alot 2 fix. I used to race at a local track it was fun but id rather but my extra money into a bike, my banshee or my truck or car.

Proquad101 Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 I used to have one of the old school RC-10's, my dad put a bad-ass sprint car frame on it. Now I mostly mess with airplane and helicopter r/c things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1sreamin350 Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 That looks nice! I have hoped up T-maxx. It's fast, maybee alittle to fast for me that is. It's my first Truck.. These things are real costly. Specially if you don't Know how to keep them up to par.. Good luck and have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trail rider Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 I got a HPI Savage, dont drive it much though, needs a pull start. I mostly fly planes now. I have a Avistar 40 with a Tower Hobbies 46 abc in it, got a tuned pipe too, loud as hell . I've also done a little "experimental" porting on the sleve, and so far it keeps runnin better the more i mess with it. And i also got a little Phenoix Sonic low wing, its a 32 sized plane, but i got a 46 in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fel0n Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master of Faster Posted September 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 (edited) Boats are pretty sweet too. I have a 46" Prather v-hull that I'm working on finishing. I've got a stock 25cc Homelite in it, I'm sure it won't be as fast as yours but maybe after I run it a little I'll get serious on the motor. All I gotta do now to finish is have it painted. eehsnab2, I laid the silver and black just using masking tape, alot of the details are actually decals. thanks though Edited September 2, 2005 by Master of Faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
