Now have a Losi mini 8ight a lot less hard work with tuning and tweaking all the time it's brushless and rapid for a little rc.

the baja seems good and just eats through any terrain flicking mud and stones 30foot behind lol

some of the brushless stuff look really fast

Post by: dansmith180 on January 04, 2015, 10:56:45 pm: I used to have one and it was awesome.

Then I decided to save money buy fixing it myself and basically ruined it :sad1:

Have thought about getting one again though, either that or an electric drift car.

Post by: bigmig95 on January 05, 2015, 08:37:45 am: Here's mine and my lads. both 1:10 scale with 6.5T brushless motors with some punchy li-po batteries. Very quick and hardly any maintenance compared with Nitro :happy2:

Only problem is my boy always kicks my butt at the local track and he's only 10. :sad1:
