Alright, thanks. I am gonna do some researching before I buy anything. I will probably just get a T-maxx because a friend of mine is selling his and he used it for about 2 hours. It is in new condition and I can probably get it for really cheap.

[cudaman]

im waiting for the MONSTER GT!! freakin bad@ss!!

My neibor has the same one as you. He only let me drive it once but from what I see its awesome. Its almost brand new and already broke.:grr

[yellow_ho_01]

with paddles that thing hauls some asfault!!! check out the pic...(if it works)

[AlaskaSpeed]

I think my 9 year old needs one of those! ;)

[Jimmah]

I got myself a Sportmaxx 2.5 a couple weekeneds ago. It's sweet now that it's running. I didn't fully read the manual and these things are the opposite of our bikes. During the winter you richen it and summer you lean it. I launch it off of hills I woulnd't even climb with my quad.

[honda400exrider]

Seems f-ing crazy!!!






I WANT ONE!!! :devil

[cabex]

heres mine

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid56/p899d66f1fe9a4b3992a920717ea7c851/fc737b0e.jpg

my friend and i set up a jump for it in the yard, the jump was about 4 feet high, and the car flew for about 25 feet and prolly got 10 feet in the air, very cool.

and then last summer, my friend jumped his down his alley in the back of his house, and it flew for about 85 feet! and who knows how high, and he didnt even break anything, hes allittle more crazy than i am with these things

[cabex]

yeah, CHAUNCY is right it is a nitro rustler, but now i have some more aluminum on it.

[CHAUNCY]

Originally posted by Glow Plug

Depends on the gearing, size of engine, etc. Mine will probably go somewhere around 40 MPH. Never had it clocked though.

[Sportrax10]

Nice, if I get one thats the kind im gonna get. Its a lot cheaper then a T-maxx too.

[CHAUNCY]

Yeah, they are alot cheaper but they arent 4 wheel drive and have less travel. Its jsut personal preference though. I want a T-maxx to mob around though.

[MojaveKing]

a savage 4x4
i want 1 wit a Motor and 4x4.....maybe after i get my video Camera!!

[WildCatRacer]

that kicker is sweet, but how'd ya hit the narrow thing? how well did it throw ya? good?

[WildCatRacer]

what are some good r/c websites?

[RiPPiNiTuP7]

Heres a pic of my 2.5 T-Maxx, and Losi XXX-NT...its old pic but you get the idea.

[WildCatRacer]

thanks. nice trucks.

[CHAUNCY]

Originally posted by Flipper

I had about an inch and a half on each side so sometimes I would have a hard time lining it up but I got used to it. It threw the truck great. I was amazed at how well it threw it actually. I could jump about 8 feet high from the ground. I had it set up kind of as a step-up because I would jump over that wall and land on some grass. I wish i still had it:( I will build another one someday. Here is a pic of where I would land. I would land on the grass about halfway between the two walls and the kicker would be set up about 4-5 feet away from the wall. If you dont understand it, I will try to explain it better.

[kawasaki_ridah]

:eek2: i just got in at 8:16 i have ran the savage all day it is awesome i love it i jumped alil but mainly through gravel all over the place its pretty friggin fast how do you clean your tires?? do you use armor all

[CHAUNCY]

To clean my tires I always just wahsed them. Do you mean to get mud off ???

[kawasaki_ridah]

yeah get em looking like new ones

[CHAUNCY]

Wash em to get the dirt off then armorall 'em I guess.

[NTPRacing#19]

my younger brother has a hpi 2 wheel drive off road truck and that things hauls butt. he is gettin all into it to, he went up to the volley ball court and built a mx track for it. its so sick he got some good tires for the track kinda like tamers and the thing slides the corners, wheelies outta the corners and then he will skip some whoops and then bust a 15ft triple double with it. its awesome to watch. sometimes i get jelous and take it from him for a few laps. :devil

Yeah, it gets addicting. Me, my bro, and his friend used to stay out in my back yard making a track till midnight. We had a triple step up. It was fuu-uun. They also look awesome with step ups.

[kawasaki_ridah]

sounds like fun i cant wait till tomarrow

I hope you have some spare parts or a local hobby shop because when I drive my truckls around something always seems to break:confused: :macho

[Glow Plug]

man i have got to look into one of these things they sound like a ton of fun, how much do those rc10gt's cost, are they anygood?:D

[CHAUNCY]

Originally posted by Glow Plug

Id suggest looking on E-bay. They should be under 300 bucks for everything you need or check a local "recycler". They are really fun and even more fun if you know other people who would buy one also. You might also see if there is a local hobby shop (LHS) near you that carries them. Most likely ther is! They are pretty tough actually. You just have to take good care of them. Kind of like a quad, if you take good care of it and clean it after you ride it will last longer. You can also visit www.teamassociated.com for more information on rc10gt's. I am almost positive they have a forum on their website. Team associated is who makes the rc10gt. SOrry if there is mispelled words, I dont feel like rereading and checking what I typed.

[Glow Plug]

awsome thanks chauchy, what would you guys recomed as a first time rc car or truck lol :D

[kawasaki_ridah]

:( i hope nothing breaks haha i got a hobbie shop pretty close by tho

[yellow_ho_01]

this is from when my savage was still almost new.... the larger of the 2 ramps is about 2.5ft tall,... and about 2.5 ft wide,,,... landing is a breeze... only time ive broke stuff, is from coming down and landing on one wheel...

[phatswinn]

i used to have a nitro hawk i put a t-max motor in it, i had it ported and i had the pipe the little gas shocks with the little rezzys (i made the rezzys with wood and wire) but it looked mint and it screwed, ill find a pic tonight if i can, its on my old puter though


a fun game is to tie balloons in the back and pins on the front and play tag with ur friends

anothier thing is, has anyone realized that the nitro gas is liek the ultamint cleaner?

the same thing i was thinking haha, oh glow plug, if you parents want to get you a new rc car go to www.towerhobbies.com they have the best prices i have seen i got ripped ay my dealer

[BlasterRider200]

i have the t-maxx 2.5 four wheel drive. it hauls ***** you can get it up to full speed in reverse. personaly i think it looks better then the savage.21. the savage may have better sup but the t-maxx can do wheelies come out of corners with one wheel off the ground. i jumped my like 10 feet off the ground andbroke the housing for the gears for the starter motor!!!

[kawasaki_ridah]

the savage has more power than the 2.5 thats what it was made for low end but the t maxx is faster in a drag but if you race a track the t maxxs short susp will turn it over easier

[kawasaki_ridah]

ne savage owers have trouble with the tranny like after you broke it in getting it to hit2nd gear right?

[born-to-race]

Could you show a pic of the remote?

[NateLHonda]

.

[kawasaki_ridah]

nice pix man :D :D hey born to race go to www.hpiracing.com

[NateLHonda]

got this today.
im still breaking it in though but i can tell its very fast. I already got new tires for it. Ill get some better pics tomarrow.

thats the exact one i had they are extremly fast lol.
i beat my freinds 40 with it beat numerous cars with it in races. I drove it on my road in front of my house speed limit is about 30 and i would pass people on it. lol the look on peoples faces when you pass then with that lol its great. But its a good thing you bought new tires because my stock tires lasted about a day after break in lol when i had it running right it would do cookies and smoke the tires withough a problem. Its a very sick car i loved mine but it just got to expensive at 30 a gallon for gas and about 20-30 in parts per day because they breack everytime you take it out its alot more expensive than quads but lots of fun if you can afford it
kiled

[lil400exman]

yes i have a rc10gt i am wanting to sell i will sell everyhting i have with it...........(shock oil, gas,radio,ball bearing kit, new tires,springs) my whole setup engine too i will sell for 200 but its in speices and needs to be rebuilt..................:( i had to rebuil mine after every race cause of the crap that breaks on them............:(

[Recondude]

when you buy these rc trucks, the savage actually, does it include the remote and all that ??? if not, how much did that run ?

[AFTERMARKET]

Ok Question for all you Rc Buffs.
I want the badest arse RC around with cash no option. What should I get and what will it cost me?
Can you put a truck body on a Car chass. And the other way around?
Thanks
Aftermarket

[NateLHonda]

If you want the best Moster Tuck then you should get a HPI Savage or a Traxxas T-Maxx. They are both good for jumping and off roading. My TMaxx was $410 and you can get a Savage for around $400 on the internet.
I think the best stadium trucks are Losi XXX-NTs or Associated RC10GTs. The Losi is about $330 nad the RC10GT is about $290
The best buggy is probably the Ofna Hyper 7. Hyper 7s are about $470.

[CHAUNCY]

Some do and some dont. It will say in the description most of the times especially if it is from an online company. EX: tower hobbies, hobby people, etc......

[kawasaki_ridah]

www.discountrcparts.com is a good place i got my escalade body today i will post pix

ummm, ima have to disagree with that 18th scale buggy remark. the ofnas are definetely not the best buggy. the best buggy is the kyosho inferno 7.5 kanai edition 2. that thing is a beast. put a black magic .21 in that thing and woop everyones @ss. ive heard they are in the 70's mph stock with that engine. btw ive been around the r/c car scene for like 5 years. and i have done lots of research because im just like that. lol

[cudaman]

btw ill post r/c car pics later.

[NateLHonda]

sorry i dont know so much about buggies:ermm:


i added some pics to my site (http://www.angelfire.com/pa5/rc).

if anyone wants to see some cool videos they have a lot at http://trilordy.com/trivideo.html

[kawasaki_ridah]

awesome!! got any jumping pics

[NateLHonda]

no i dont have any action pics yet. its hard to get them because im the only one that can drive good and take good pictures but ill try to get some. Ill get some hillclimb pics too but I cant drive my T-Maxx for a while cuz i broke a driveshaft.

[forum]

how are the CEN buggies?? fun factor or somthing like that.

I have Heard that name thrown around a time or 2. I may go with a buggy But I was looking for a truck. Can i put on a truck body on the Inferno?

[cudaman]

not that i know of. i guess if you could find an 1/8th scale truck body then you could modify it some weird way but it wont look right and it wont preform well.

[CHAUNCY]

Cool site NateLHonda:cool:

[F-16Guy]

O.K., all these new cars and trucks are nice and all, but what about those old school cars that started it all? My first car was a Kyosho Pegasus. After that, it was a Tamiya Lunch Box, a Blackfoot (on which I probably spent enough in dogbones and differentials to buy a real car), and then a Traxxas Hawk. No slipper clutches, no ball diffs, and enough dielectric speed control grease to choke a damn horse!! Ah, the good ole' days...

[CHAUNCY]

Here is a pic of my polished chassis on my rc10gt

[NateLHonda]

that looks really sweet:eek2:

Cool, I am looking into a T-maxx. Are they durable ? Good power ? Also, how much is that kit if you dont mind me asking and what are some good site for maxx's ?

[NateLHonda]

Yea, There really durable. I think there harder to break than stadium trucks. Theyre really good at jumping and hillclimbing.
Theyre really fast and pwerfull too. The T-Maxx is my favorite car, i like it a lot better than my rustler.
The kit costs $265, you can get it here

[kawasaki_ridah]

this pics file was to big i had to shrink it but here is a awesome pic

[Glow Plug]

[NateLHonda]

JW what parts does the savage have that are metal that are plastic on the T-Maxx other than the dogbones. jw;)
