R/C trucks
I was just wonderin if any of yall have an r/c truck or car. (not the kind you buy from radio shack, the REAL ones). I have a T-maxx 2.5 and an E-maxx. Anyone else out there know what kind of charger to get for the E-maxx. I have been using cheep 1500 mah packs but i want to get some 7 cell 3000mah packs. Oh BTW, my t-maxx has a black Superduty body on it. I am a ford man ya know

I was looking into buyin a truck made by traxxis. but I didnt follow through because of financial reasons. If i had the money I might would look into it again but im not sure. Where do you drive yours? Do you have a track close by?

Yeah, i have a nitro MT somthing or other, 4 wheel drive truck, the thing hauls bigtime, i love it. Its so much fun, its just crazy fast, flying, the cool thing is, it sits up high enough, that when (yes when) i run into curbs, it just slides up onto them and no damage is done, if it sat about 1 inch lower, i'd need about 5 new bumpers

Many of your local hobby shops will have kits also. Some even have assy services but it is best to build your own from a kit so you know how it works and can repair it.
I used to run two Losi's, A truck and a buggy. Strictly 6-cell stock dirt track racing. If there was anywhere around here to race I would still be doing it.
Just running your truck is OK but racing other people around a track is way more FUN!

Clod Buster I have more than 60 hours in detaling it, way too much time one my hands.
Also have road cars and a snow cat, which is a blast when it snows.

Hey 79driver, the Savage is Awesome! Got bored and ran it next to my buddies truck, it does around 40 after I tuned it, thinking about adjusting the mid range needel but don't think I can get more out of it untill I can afford some more parts. A tuned pipe is next on my list.....or the dual exhaust set up would be sweet, don't know about the performence tho. There is nothing small about the Savage, wait till you see the Team Associated GT monster, its a little bigger than the Savage but not neer as fast!!!!
You going with Novak's motors and ESC? Now thats a pricey set up but Very NICE! I was thinking of getting that set up for my Losi XXXT but I ranther burn Nitro then Electric at this point in time, just fill her up and keep going.

Ya, my friend has the 2.5 T-maxx, were actually going out with it later today. Anyway, yes 40 is insanely unstable, and we were just in the hobby shop yesterday picking up a new flywheel, at least that’s what I call it, the plastic gear on the tranny, and they had smaller ones to make it even faster. We’re currently running the scoop style tires, and take it out to a gravel mine. We also picked up a “tuned” muffler and that seems to help the top end.
