    been using the radipost ts401 for a couple weeks now and i love it! feels good in my hands, very balanced and has a good weight to it.

    its very adjustable and its pretty easy to figure out all the settings you can also program the buttons to control any feature you want which is pretty sick.

    needles to say im very happy with the radio!

    its not the best in direct sunlight but just shade it with your hand and its fine. i race mostly indoor so it hasnt been a problem for me. it sure it awesome at night races though lol.

    That was the first model I ever built. It wasn't even mine, it was a buddies. I went to buy one a week or so later and the hobby shop was out of them. So I picked up a Koyosho Ultima.

    After the Fox wasn't a option, I wanted a RC10 (gold pan) but the dealer made us a "deal" on three complete set ups on the Ultimas. By the time I was finished with it only the tranny cases and the screws were factory, Option House universal shafts and Gold shocks and fiberglass shock towers, Hot Trick chassis and trailing arm kit, Hougue ball-bearing steering rack, Andy front a-arms, and Thorp Dirt Burner overdrive gear set.

    Buddies new (to him) truggy, a RC8Te. It's brand new basically, dropped in a 2000kv truggy motor. Will literally smoke the tires on the pavement.

    This is a dumb question... are you priming the engine?

    If you are, then slightly lean the carb out and that might help out
