    the .2 is just the .1 with new suspension geometry and longer chassis (another thing AE copied from the aftermarket). Same buggies.

    Stadium truck is definitely making a comeback with TLR releasing the TLR22T and Durango releasing the DEST210r

    I don't run any 1/10 electric classes or really any classes for that matter right now (hopefully I can save up for the DNX408T come next spring). What I know is from doing lots of reading.

    I might however pick up a SC10GT FT (if I can afford it when they release it) to hone in my driving skills.

    Just regular masking tape. I'll sort of overlap where I want the line to be then cut it with an exacto knife. I've found that this leaves pretty clean lines and is a little easier (for me) than pinstriping tape.

    If the truck still runs and drives fine I wouldn't replace it. Call traxxas and see what they can do. Worst comes to worst just unplug it when not in use? Most people do that anyway. I have a couple friends with Brushless ESC's that don't even have power switches.

    Problem is that its stuck pushed in, so basically it just keeps cycling through all the modes while its on. Like, lipo cutoff, 50% mode, etc.... basically its not driveable. I mean, if I can buy a used one for not too expensive, and then eventually get traxxas to replace it, then I have an extra, so be it... but does anybody here have one or know where I can get a used one then?
