What one?!
Ok, I am thinking about getting into R/C cars. I already have a heli radio...would that be ok to use with a car? or should I get a pistol grip radio? I don't know which car to get though, here is what I want in the car:
-nitro powered
-fast
-durable
-able to go off jumps
-offroad
I would like the car to have all those characteristics...but I have no idea which ones do, could you guys mention some names that fit in all of those categories?
Thanks!
Andrew

Great post, fitenfyr. But I would suggest an RC10 GT FT. I think the T-Maxx is awesome, but the GT is all about racing! It also fits the list;
-nitro powered
-fast
-durable
-able to go off jumps
-offroad
My GT was doing doubles where only a 4wd electric could. I also have a NovaRossi, and that may have helped
Later!

It all depends on how much you are willing to spend. It also has a lot to do with how much skill you have with engines as well as offroad vehicles in general. LAst christmas I got a traxxas nitro sport as my first nitro vehicle. The first thing i noticed at the track was that it was getting its backside ground in. I bought a racing pipe, ball bearings, pro ball diff and slipper clutch and went back. After those mods it would hang with most people, but I wanted to be over the top fast. So I acquired a T-Maxx engine (the same as the nitro sport, just with a bigger carb and enhanced cooling head). I also purchased a boost bottle (waste of money, but it looks cool, lol). With all said I think the traxxas nitro sport/rustler is the best entry level offroad truck.
My friend had one of the infamous T-maxxes and it is no good on the road at all. The nitro sport hangs with the Maxx running around an offroad course, and even stock it kills it in a street/drag situation. Also the Maxx likes to roll over on the street if it is bumped or if it runs into a curb or something. Not to belittle the maxx though, they are one of the best OFF-road trucks out there. But they are just that only for offroad use.

BLINKBOY--> If you do go traxxas, I would buy a nitro sport and upgrade the engine. I don't like the bellcrank steering on the nitro rustler and the bellcranks seem to break easily when you hit big jumps.

RE: What one?!
Looks like you have a lot of time on your hands if you're so busy being worried about someone else on this forum. If you don't like it, don't read it. BTW - did you have a chance to find the rule that states any wrongdoing here?Just curious. Isn't it time for your little league game?
