No snow blues got the best of me. No snow for the sleds, no mud for the Brute Force. So I got a Traxxas Raptor. It's pretty fun, goes pretty fast. You can hit a curb at full speed and it will try to ramp it without breaking.

 

Great, now I want one!

 

Saw those in our accessories catalog at work... I want one too!

 

check out great hobbies.

I have a exo terra, love 1/10 buggys. Im taking mine to silverlakes this year.

 

Agreed... now I want one... like I don't already have enough expensive hobbies.

 

haha i do this, my trucks long travel and saltwater tanks. id say 50% or my pay is in my hobbies.

 

I like the body on them but they come underpowered.

 

Yeah the more I drive the faster I want it to go...but then I crash pretty good and I'm glad it's slow. No real damage yet, the body is getting ugly though.

 

throw a brushless velineon kit in it with a lipo battery and it should fly lol. you can also start getting into gearing if you want it even faster. a friend of mine has a traxxas slash 4x4 that goes over 100 now. we strapped a GPS to it to get the speed

 

Wow, I think it would be broken in half with my RC driving skills. Can I upgrade the battery as it is? Just need a little more run time.

 

you might burn up the speed control with another battery. I got into RC's for a while and i started spending more money than i wanted to lol. I bought a quick charger, LiPo batteries, lights, upgraded driveshafts, a-arms, and a new cover all in 1 day -__-

 

rc cars are for losers. pick up a sport or a new hobby.

 

Call me when you get a clue. I've got everything but a race car and a speedboat. Picking up an ATC 310r next weekend.

 

Youre going to make alot of friends here I can tell.

 

We have the same hobbies.

thanks for posting that pic lol. im now off to change my shirt cause i spit my drink all over myself!

 

LOL. here we goooo...



Yes you can get a higher Mah battery. stick with the 7 cell it came with, but you can buy batteries that will go for longer. (talk to your local hobby shop if you dont already know what i mean. Been in this hobby for 3 years. Love it but it gets expensive QUICK.

 

You can get batteries that can put out more power at a faster rate but you can also get a battery that has more power stored in it that lets it out at the same rate. (Basically) Read this.

 

Sweet...Thanks guys

 

pm me I might have some batteries that will work for you that I will sell cheap

 

Looks nice, heres my slash 4x4 and proboat fastech both brushless

 

Sweet boat....how fast does that go?

 

Probably 35mph on twin 2cell lipos. havent had it out much yet. itll only ever get used when we are on the real boat.

 

Oh, check out hobbypartz.com for cheap lipos. ive veen running the gens ace with good luck but i just ordered a couple skylipo's so we'll see how good they are

 

I want one of the Traxxas Spartans. They look sick!
