Status: offline 		Hardest part is trying to use them all. I tend to have favorites and seem to drive them all the time. But now i mainly fly heli's (when it's not windy), everyone thinks the nitro cars and trucks cost. It's nothing compared to a heli when learning inverted flying.

Status: offline 		that tmaxx does look kinda cheesy without the body. but what about the revo? how would an avalanche compare? i enjoy bashing, dont race much at all. my friend has a little track setup in his yard and wants me to come over with my tsunami. i imagine the revo will kill my tsunami but how would an avalanche fair?

Status: offline 		LOL at the moment i have only a tsunami and tornado, and i have trouble decided which one i wanna drive!! I really enjoy the tsunami tho. I have the single speed setup, 8 shocks instead of 4, and bigger V tred tires and it turned out sooooooooooooooooooo much more durable and easier to run. Its faster everywhere, jumps nicely, and ever since ive put on the 8 shocks and single speed , ive had 0 things break. today i hit full throttle going up a hill, about 20 feet going up the hill as fast as it would go, i nailed a huge root sticking outa the ground and the back end flew up and the car went to a complete stop. nothing happened, and i drove off

Are you talking about winter garden FL? I live there. Clermont hobby has a track I go to on sundays that is about 15 miles away, Outacontrol hobbies has one about 4 miles away but you have to pay to play, Bartow has one about 50 miles away but has lights at night and you can stay as long as you want to, I go there almost everyweek after work with some friends at night. Avon park has one about 50 miles away too and has the stadium lights you probably saw in one of my vidoes and you can stay there as long as you want if you are a member which I am but I can bring guests. PM me if you want my number.

Status: offline 		Avon Park is where we normally stay. Never seen it or heard about it, then again we visit family there that isn't into any Rc's. I will have to check it out, if we drive down this year. I dread the long drive of almost 30hours. So i told the wife never again will we drive, but i am sure we will. I'll have to look you when we head down that way.
