Holy Sheep!
Today I got a 1:10 scale Team Losi XXX-S Sport RTR
JR Radio system....GM ESC...Dynamyte Vision Peak Charger & a pair of Epic 3000 NiMhs cost near $350! Thankfully I had $100 already...a 10% off cupon...My dad paying for the transmitter (about 130 of the RTR cost) because he may want to use it too for an R/C glider project & him advanceing my megar allowance 10 weeks (lol)
We adjusted the diffs...charged my AAs & NiMh 3000s & we took her out for 5 min (we had more battery but it got wayyy to dark & we could barley see the thing
1st though FAST! That thing was hauling some serious ass! I could do controlled drifts just like that! Very responsive & fast car. Big upgrade from a Nikko 1:18th buggy
Anyone know any forums for 1:10 Team Losi's & any 1:10 General forums?

I figued a nice 1:10 would be easier to run around my area
Micro Rs4 racing isn't as big at my hobby shop as 1:10 is.
A skyline is a possibility when time come & I have to get a new body. They had no Skyline RTRs. I got the Losi because it came with a JR radio & a GM Speed Control
Plus I'd still be assmebling my Micro if I got one

Today took it for a run....Lost control & hit a curb....lmao
Only thing that happened was the battery pack slid out & the body started to rub on the wheels....Just had to put the battery back in & tweak the body a bit then was back up & running til.....My damned JR Radio is way to picky about my battery voltage & started beeping when the voltage dropped to 8.9 (from 10.8...4 1.5 volts & 4 1.2 volts) I can't emphasize hom much I hate waiting for AAs to charge without yelling. I have a 4 aa slow charger (why the **** do they even make those!?) Eventually I'm getting a 8 AA holder & soldering a Tamiya plug to it so I can use my 4 amp Peak charger on those sh!ts. If they fry....I know why lol
Tomorrow is another day...Another day means more racing....If those AAs charge

I thought it was an Intrepid
I don't want a 4 door...My next body (a while...atleast til after I pay this guy off & get a 1 hour AA charger & some more GP AA 2000s) will be a Mustang....I figured I'd be stuck with it for a while so I took looks into consideration...I think it looks pretty cool...Will post WAY better pic tomorrow (at the time the good cam's batts were charging....lmao!)

BTW why don't you got a 1/10th anymore? Did you have to sell it cause you needed the cash or did you just have a bad area to run it...Mine is a lot of fun...just gotta shake out the rocks after a run. I actually found a screw lodged in the gap between the motor & the chassis after my 1st few min of running. It wasn't a car screw because of the size but it looked like a stray from when the took the skirts off of next-door's vacant mobile home. Weird
Tomorrow will be fun...Fully charged transmitter batts...same with car & 4 of my 8 AA's are done charging. Maybe if theres enough popularity I'll start up a 1/10th scale forum. That should be the next step in the Tiny/MiniZ/Your Micro forum family
BTW: Anyone know where to get Xtals cheap? I know Draconcious's Mini Z site has em cheap but will they work w/a JR XR2?...Damn! Only if I had the XR3...lol

Skylinez: If you want to come back just use a new name....prove you are seriously turned good & then say who you are after a few days-a week
Strat: I think mines the newer version...I'll show you some better pics in about 5-10 min
BRB all
