Anyone into R/C?

Dunno, I had an HPI Nitro Savage that blew the plastic off of the T-Maxx, i used to take that thing to Dumont Sand Dunes and launch it off the dunes and it would take 20ft of air and 30ft of length with no problem, even when it landed wrong the truck would just tumble down the dunes and take right back off. I always thought of Traxxas as the non R/C car enthusiast's R/C car, they are great out of the box and for playing with, but if you wanted something really good you would go with a Losi, HPI, Team Associated, GS, or Kyosho. Just my thoughts, LOL.

 

Ya Traxxas in the rc world is like Toyota in the real world!

 

Notice the Traxxas sticker in my window (if i posted the pic right)

 

I am into RC! I got a revo 3.3 currently. These things are a blast!

 

Not an R/C, but that truck is Clean!! Nice with the sticker, LOL.

 

Thanks! But your truck is Super Clean! Black tacos look so good when there as clean as yours! I love the mountains under the trd! Looks Sweet!

But ya R/C's. I've got the new Rustler VXL. Its so amazingly Fast! Literaly does over 70 mph! Gotta Have a lot of spare parts handy tho cuz believe it or not it breaks when you crash going that fast! Lol

 

I have a Truggy. Thunder Tiger!

 

I was talking about their Stadium trucks.... Yeah HPIs Savages are awesome trucks. Oh man the Losi and AE Monster truck are SICK!!!!

 

HEY LENTSNH!!! ...you didnt say nothin about the TWO motors. Did ya see them?

 

Oh sorry i was going to. but then the post whore (DelMarva) came along. Yeah man thats awesome how Nikko is doing that now. I bet its a blast to drive. How much battery does it take up?

 

One charge only lasts 15 minutes-but I got me a quickcharger

 

Has anyone heard or own one of these???

Dang ha you should get two batteries and swap them off while one is charging and the other one is playing

 

that's pretty neat...

 

at $300+ and its a kit. with a airplane remote control for all the functions it better be.... its 4 wheel drive as well. It is really cool

 

I would have to agree. I have an HPI Savage, and I BEAT the shit out of it. I'll take it off dirt bike jumps and launch it 20+ ft and land it in the flats. You don't understand how much abuse it will take, until you see it bounce off a tree from going 30mph and 20ft in the air. IT'S A BEAST. I would never do that to a Revo, sorry. They're more for racing.

When I bought my Savage, I asked the dealer who sold everything, "I want the truck that I can beat the shit out of and it will keep living". He said Savage hands down.

Ohh, and I have a roll-cage on it. That's a must IMO. I'll try to take some pics this weekend.

 

Just seen this quote. You may be right for "Stadium Trucks", but I don't really race them. Just beat them, and go fast. They advertise that mine will do 40mph+. I don't really know, but that plenty fast.

Different strokes for different folks I guess.

 

Good comparison between Traxxas and HPI:

Yeah my Savage was monstrous, i loved that thing, to bad it had to go, when you have them you think you can't have enough R/C cars, until you look at your table and are like, that ones broke, that ones broke, and that ones broke, which one can i sell to get enough money to get parts for all the rest, LOL.

 

I loooove savages. If i stayed nitro, i wouldn't get anything but a savage, however i'd make it brushless and li-po!
