sweet man. i wish i had one of those to play around with. how much would a decent one like that run me? is that one gas powered? they hard to maintain? oh and it doesnt break anything when you land it like that? how fast they go? lol sorry for all the questions but you got me kinda interested.

Thats sweet. I am in the process of getting my GT2 back up and running again after my last bashing. I have never had a freesyle ramp to jump but have hit a 35 foot table top. I broke it trying the 60ft double. Landed on the rear shock tower, not a good place to land.

thats a Hotbodies Lightning stadium 10 which was a nitro powered truck, i converted it to brushless and lipo, its much faster. it will kill 1/8 scale buggies and truggies in acceleration and is tough as nails too. I have the truck geared for 45mph and itll do power wheelies from a 30mph rolling start.........lol you cant buy a truck like this one its all custom.

i would stay away from gas they are too much trouble for beginers, look into the traxxas XL5 rustler or pede they are tough as they come and wont hurt the pocket too much.

Which 450?

I have a rc18b with the castle creations 8000kv brushless, ran by a 11.1 volt 2100mah lipo... I also have a revo with a picco 26 max, an ofna gtp, an ofna gpx4, and a little 1/18th scale nitro i cant remember the name. and I have a blade cx2 heli, a hangar 9 arrow, and a e flite tribute fx 3d im finishing the assembly up tonight and tomorrow.

I had a duratrax evader st and a traxxas emaxx before..

Money pits :eek2:

glad I got out of the sport.

I upgraded my Emaxx motors to Trinity Monster Maxx motors ad fried like 4 and they cost $60 a piece back then. Finally went back to the stock motors. 3300 batterys were expensive too.


But it sure was fun :D

lol yea i was out of it for a couple years but about 5 months ago i started back to kill time at college, now ive got 3 helis (2 brushless), brushless Mlst, brushless Now, Brushless Ls10, and 3 micro-ts ..........hey when you have extra money compared to others since i dont drink or smoke or waist my money on that you can afford a little extra fun stuff.

go to your local hobby shop and see what they carry, that will be the best kind to get so when you break something you dont have to order it and wait.

my bro has a decked out rustler with a brushless system and can hook it up to two 6 cell batterys. last time he flipped it he still had the throttle in a bit and the tires balooned spit and the foam went flying, and ripped the arm and shaft out.

ill post a pick up of his emaxx in a bit. fun machines. i want to pick one up this summer either a team losi or traxxas not sure yet. oh yeah does anyone have a rock crawler rc truck or interested in them?

For those of you who were asking for pics, it comes with all the stuff pictured and some more (tools, glow plugs etc).

Im trying to get around 300 for it.

It is gas powered with maybe 3 hours on the engine. I just never took intrest in it.
