T-maxx he!!, 1/5th scale buggies are becoming the rage. They have motors more powerful than weedeaters //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

That's a tenth scale setting next to it in the picture. That's a 23cc motor in that big fugger //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

[ramos 5,000+ posts]

Depends on how modded the motor is. Anywhere from 30-70mph depending upon motor mods //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I used to race stadium trucks. Got a bit expensive for me and after i put 1500 into it, and it still broke every 10 mins i had to give it up. Im actually parting it out now as we speak. Its amazing how much people will shell out for some titanium parts.

Thats My RC10GT

those pictures are from a ways back, and since then i got an all new MX-3 Sythesised Radio and reciever, and Hitec 625MGBB servos. guess that dosent matter now though since ive sold some of it off.

Still an asociated fan though, and ill probably get a TC4 some day. I love the nitro, but there are just more parts to break. I babied mine so much, and at the end of the day id end up spending 35$ just to get it back running again.

I never understood how guys on http://www.slapmafro.com could do so much and barely hurt their cars. Sure, they detroyed them everyonce and a while, but to jump a 30 foot barn 20 times and leave witout a scratch is rediculous....

i basically didnt have anything on my car that wasnt titanium, RPM, or Carbon Fiber.

Yep; that's me. Traxxas, MaxxTraxx OG, MaxxTraxxUSA, a couple other forums. Periodically, I'll still check in.

I use my rc's almost solely for the purpose of racing. Most hops ups I have on mone are for durablity and speed as opposed to bling factor //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif My sportmaxx is basically stock with the exception of the two speed, rpm arms, different cooling head ( couldn't change motor in stock class), MIP cvds and metal gears in the diff. I have finished one season with it, the only thing I broke is a wheel //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

This is the local offroad track, It has a nice lay out and some nice jumps. The three foot high 9 foot long table top is a beast //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
