I broke out the revo and my p51 plane and fucked around the other day.

I have a traxxas 4tec i need some parts for i to run again
And just currently got q traxxas tmaxx i know nothing about nitro, but i do know its missing the glow plug igniter and fuel

Maybe i can get it running soon, for radio it has a mx3
Any pointers will be great

Yeah these things take up alot of money fast lol. I took mine out to my dads in ennis and realized I left the glow plug igniter on my toolbox at home so It sucked yesterday lol. Nothing broke yet on it though so I'm doing good.

What does it cost to get into this? I think it'd be cool to get one that looks like a trophy truck. I've also seen one that was a jeep that looked like a rock crawler, that looked pretty cool too.


This looks fucking sweet.

Being an adult I would budget $500 for it. I prefer kits to RTR. When you build it you'll know whats wrong and how to fix it when you break it and you will break it.

You'll want a good charger, motor, and a couple battery packs that are better than what RTR setups come with. Not to mention a few tools and things to keep in a tackle box.

Shit can get expensive really quickly.

My wife and I made the trip over Thursday evening. Mike gave us the "grand tour" of the place. It truely is a first class place to race! I was going to run my 1/8th scale Mugen on the outdoor track but I hated for Mike to leave the lights on for 1 car to run. He did turn them on for us to show us how good the lights were!! Looking forward to getting moved up there in about 5-6 weeks! I got dibs on last place!

Didnt get to make it thurs or sat. But, I got my SC10 4x4 all together and painted tonight. Should be up there practicing monday morning. Then helping put together Super Coupe's one that afternoon. We should be ready to race 4wd Thurs!

[Super Coupe]

I will probably end up going. Me and slovanova went ahead and ordered the sc10 4x4. If it comes in on Thursday I may change my mind and start on it.

[1carcrazyguy]

I thought I had a 1/10 scale lined up for Thursday since we were going to be in town. However the buddy that said I could use it, sold it. I will probably stop in anyway. Thinking about bringing my Mugen Eco to make a few laps on the outdoor track before the races. Probably see a few of you up there. Let me know who is going so I know who to watch for.

[ELVIS]

Has anyone done any of the rock crawling they have out there at Mikes?

i have never seen anyone on it actually. it looks like it would be cool in theory, but its about a 20x20 square and i could see me getting board with it pretty fast. esp. since there would be no one over there to talk to.

and i am almost sad i will miss this thursday since i'll be in vegas.

god bless.

I am not moving up there until the end of June anyway. So by that time they should be caught up on the rush. I might end up with the Losi Ten SCTE, just depends on where all I decide to race. If I am going to be racing the SC on dusty outdoor tracks I will go with the Losi. The AE belt drive set-up looks great for low dust tracks. But looks like it would be a pain to clean after a track day at a dusty/sandy track.

The ae last nIght looked really good! Right now scte is dominating the class and looking very strong. Either truck is capable of winning though. I like the losi cause I think the weight of the truck works in this class.

You may be waiting a while on the ae. Mikes only got 1 in and there's a waiting list on them not sure if it's the same at the hobbyshops.
