Anyone into Nitro RC?
I was big into this before i bought my truck in 05, i had a Traxxas Revo 2.5 that was heavily modified, and then i bought a Jato 2.5 as well. I started modifying my truck, left the RCs sit, and now that im at the point where i have to tear into the engine to go farther, i decided to ease up on that. Some new fuel, batteries and some time, i got my two year old RCs out of hibernation. Ive had tons of fun in the past few weeks. Just bought a Traxxas Nitro 4-tec 3.3... Pretty hyped up about it- http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWN:IT&ih=008
Just wondering if anyone is into this as well?

this is a world class sized thunder king
it was 3 weeks on the market when i bought it. it never saw the electric motors that came with it. i put a .21 nitro engine in it that makes 2.75 hp.
running weight is 13 lbs.
it will do 65 mph, clocked on radar in the high school parking lot.
the engine is currently seized from lack of use, it has been sitting for 6 years.

My brother has alway's been into the r/c scene. He has and old hpi sport 2, and hpi nitro sport 4 and just got a 2.5 traxxas. Very expensive sport; seems like every 5-6 times he takes it out something on it breaks and he has to get parts for it. I have been contemplating a nitro rustler, but I really don't think I would enjoy it enough to constitute the cost.
Cheers!!!

I owned a couple of RCs. I had a Losi 2wd Ford Bodied Truck. With a .15 nitro engine. It would fly with wings. I has a Mugen car & a HPI Truck. I sold them a few years ago. I'm thinking of getting back into it again.
I really enjoyed them. My wife has asked me a few times if I was going to buy another one. I use to race in Las Vegas and she use to enjoy going and watching.

I was a couple of years ago, but after my Granpda passed away and I got his pickup truck (that's what my name is about) I could only afford one hobby at a time so my Traxxas Nitro Stampede is in a box in the garage and I sold the E-MAXX and T-MAXX. Grandpa's truck is about done so I am looking at getting back into it this summer.
