    I'm paying a little more than 20 per gallon. I would say for most a people a gallon a month is normal. That subject to change, of course.

    Gas was fun, that's what I grew up with. I had a ofna buggy, gs racing buggy, Losi raminantor and a kyosho subaru all nitro. I had tons of fun but maintenance was too much for me at times. Then I went into electric and wow how simple it was and to find the problem was easy. I loved how I just had to plug and play! I will definitely miss the sound of the nitro though!

    A friend of mine expanded his fleet today. He got a Slayer and a Losi Nitro Truggy today.

    I don't know where he gets this money. Hopefully we'll all be tearing up the track soon. :D

    I went out to pegasus tonight. Astonishing it was rather empty than normal I wonder why?

    Yeah that's exactly how I feel. I have to take the first couple laps slow...

    Btw I'm looking into getting better steering servo? You guys recommend any?

    I'm tired of the stock servo, turning sucks

    LOL... Not trying to slam you, but that's my experience with it also. I'll bet my left nut that my electric will power up every/any time I desire.
