suggestions on a large scale pLeAsE!
hello i'm 17 and getting a job here soon, i am tired of dealing with nitro MT's tuning breaking ect...if i am rite these are less of a headache than a nitro rite like tuning ect...? i need suggestions on what to get? i really love the off-road, pre-runner, baja, trophy truck Look! so if there is anything along those lines please lead me towards it, if not i mite go with the baja, what type of unique hop-ups are out for a baja? scale does not matter neither price, try to keep it diecent though as i will have to save up. i'm not really a basher nor racer just like to cruise around but if i pick one it would be basher since i live in the boonies with lots of gravel and offroad terrain.
Thanks!
Jeff

If your really looking for that off road baja truck thing, look into the MCD baja 1000 truck (I think that is the name) its a 4 wheel drive off road truck. I really like the looks of it, may even pick one up soon.

I was looking into the Baja 1000 but went with the FG Stadium because 2400.00 bucks vs. 1800.00 I love my Stadium and I hardly ever run my LST, Revo because it's so much fun playing with the FG you can go 30-45 mins on a tank of gas, the gas is not 24 bucks a gallon no more 7 dollar glow plugs and all you don't have to carry glow ignitors, roto starters I wish I would have bought the FG before I bought the LST,Muggy,Revo,T Maxx.

The MCD Baja 1000 is the cream of the crop. I would like to get one, eventually maybe we'll see what my wife says, lol. I like the performance of my Leopard and Baja 5B, they're great runners and handle anything and everything I have thrown at them so far.
Either way, gassers are a blast to run.

Do you mean the Fg Baja, the Mcd Baja or the HPI Baja ?? i vote for the last, super rc, runs from everything and it is very easy to control.

sounds like its going to be a baja 1000! im liking the looks of it! where can i purchase one of these? and do they come RTR? where can i get hopups for the baja 1000
no one really answered one of my questions, these large scales are they less of a pain to run than nitro 10th and 8th's are?

Speaking about how easy these engines start and run another guy on the forum put it this way:
"I could go get a sandwich while my gasser idles."
These engine are very dependable. My car sits up for weeks at a time without running, fuel sitting in the tank. I get it out and pull 3 - 5 times and it's running as if I use it every day. I've never even had a fuel filter clog up.
I also did some rough calculations on fuel cost per minute of runtime versus nitros. The gasser was about 1 - 2 cents per minute while the nitro was about 8 - 10 cents per minute.
You can buy good 2 stroke oil in many more stores than nitro fuel and gasoline on almost any corner in the US.
