IE, Clods, Stampedes, 1/8th scale gas, etc..

I got a Savage (1/8th scale nitro monster truck) and an E Pede

I love them to death! I just got a micro to mess around with when it rains.

yeah I have a Savage also. I also have a 1/6 scale FG off road buggy with a two stroke motor. It sounds like IM cutting tree's down in my back yard every time I run it:D

Not any more. I have a 2.5 T-maxx. I don't have any pics though because I don't have a scanner or a digital camera

I think 1/8th and smaller RC should be electric, or its like nascar redneck version of the RC world.

Electrics can actually possess a much better vehicle, but hey buy what you like, not what i think.

i love my rc 10 GT, gas powered vehicles own jooo... i hate dealing with recharging batterey packs and 10-15 minute runs, on my GT i have a larger gas tank and i run from 20-30 minutes.. even on the small tank you just fill it up while running... OWNS JOO.. after i got my first nitro RC ill never go back to electric (minis excluded) i think the only thing that should be electric are razors, bullet shaped back massagers, and micro RC's

Hopefully those "bullet" shaped massagers are for the female in your life...

I run two Ofna Pirate 10 Monsters. The blue one has a Hyper .21, and the yellow on is engine-less at the moment. It'll probably get a Force .21 'cause I can get them cheap.

I've been seeing a lot of those Savages around lately and the RC mags are all over em. I love the suspension set up. I think it's the biggest competitor to the T-Maxx IMHO. I got one of the first T-Maxx's made so I got a ****ty one that never worked. I just got sick of it breaking one day and snapped it in half. Maybe I shall get a Savage?!:p

My brother-in-law had an early T-Maxx. There was a problem with the gas tank primer (deleted in later models) and something with the piston or crank case cracking. Traxxas was replacing them under warranty. He bought one a couple of months ago and it was a LOT easier to run than the older one. He just sold it a few days ago though.

LOL, I would if I didn't need money bad right now, sorry bro. But I'm prolly gonna replace everything with cheap aluminum parts and sell it on ebay. I'll let everyone on this board know when it goes up for sale cuz it'll prolly go for cheap seeing as I had to rebuild it. Don't worry tho, it'll be a quality job, I've been into RC's for a while now!:D
