Default Radline rc 1/24

So has anyone scene these cars yet or have you purchased one. They say that the Master series comes with an adaptor so you can put a 180 can in them.

Any opinions as of yet.

Check out the youtube video

I have the buggy, its a bit of a pain because it eats regular AAA batterys alive...its almost a nessesity to get rechargable batterys. For a little 1/24 its pretty durable, i jumped it off by dad's F-150 and it drived away fine just had to pop the right shock back on. I would recommend them to begginers (It was my first rc)

The local Hobbytown got a bunch in. I don't remember exactly which ones, but I do remember that that were different that the radlines I've seen at Target. Looked nice from what I saw, but I didn't really scrutinize them as I was looking for MLST parts at the time...

must have been the elite edition. Uses real 27mhz and 6 crystal like -
Plus you can put a 180 can in them for some real speed.
I hear something like 89.99
I think I'll have to pick up one from Target and give a review of them

I have the Elite stadium truck. You can make them very fast and precise. I upgrade to full bearings, aluminum shocks, 1,000 mah recharchables and a 180 motor. I had two extra 180 motor left over from my apache heli upgrade. Had to trim the motor holder a bit. Running a 13 tooth pinion and 32 tooth spur. I just ordered the master series stadium truck. I comes with all the above upgrades already installed and a better radio. I am puttting an Xtreme 180 motor. I only payed $61.00 for the Master series truck and $49.00 for the Elite before upgrades. Making a small track in the back yard to run the trucks my 5 year old son.

Well i just ordered the Master Pincal Stadium Truck, should be here by Tues-or wed. The Elite Detour Truck was fun but to much of a toy, untill i upgraded it, but i then i brok difs, so hoefully the Master Pincal Stadium Truck is much better, i have high hopes for the Master based of how fun and strong the Elite was. =] So i will post a review and some pics when i get it, im going to keep this stock besides swapping out the stock servo for my HS55 it says it is 3-wire servo compatable

I ordered the same stadium truck yesterday. Got it here: http://www.hobbylinc.com/htm/unx/unx424991.htm
What motor were you running in the Elite that chewed up differentials? I am running a pretty hot 180 motor with zero problems so far. I also ran radlines mofidied motor previous to the180 upgrade.

Just added a 7.4, 1000 mah lipo. Combine with a 180 motor and full bearings, it runs like a rocket. The wheels are the weak link. Broke 2 wheels already while crashing under full throtle. The little connection tabs busted off.

My Masters series truck came today as well. Replaced the stock 180 with a "performance" tuned 180 and a 7.2, 1000 mah lipo. Instant wheelies and plenty of speed. The truck also lost 11 grams due to the changes. My next project is a wheelie bar.
