RE: Official Traxxas Nitro Sport Thread!!
The Sport is a good solid machine. One of my favorite bashers. The one I have is converted to a 2.5R. Shes been a faithful member of the family for 2 years now. I had to build a wheelie bar for it just to keep it on its wheels. The only issue Ive ever had with it was I just broke a shock tower 2 weekends ago. I was doin some hardcore bashing in the local gravel pit and did about 20+ cartwheels. It broke the rear shock tower on the right side. I keep on going with her that way for another 2 tanks of gas. Thats 2 more tanks of fuel than I can run my Evader without it breaking down and it was broken and still going strong, LOL
I dont care what all the Losi, AE, Duratrax or HPI guys say. Traxxas makes the most reliable and toughest RC's Ive ever owned or seen. Ive had more problems with the Evader Nitro I bought 2 months ago then Ive ever had with all the Traxxas products Ive ever owed combined in the past 4 years.
Im looking for another Sport roller that I can pull the electronics and the DTX .18(the only good thing about my duratrash, its a very strong motor) and make a faster truck then the 2.5R conversion. I dont race, I have absolutely no interest in it. I would rather get my buddy, his 2 sons and my 2 sons together and go out to our Gravel Pit and tear sh*t up hardcore!
