Anyway, good luck selling your FG! So we can check out the Baja SS!!

I wonder if they are making a truck version!! That would be interesting.. how wide will that beast be?!

test drove the Ford F-150 with the 'lightly tuned' motor in it.. a crazy amount of pull this thing has! and LB, the motor is about 2mm longer than the silver can..

That's pretty slick! Must be pretty cool to see in real life.

So I am trying to decide on my next model. At first I wanted a Clod but TEX said it wasn't the best unless you mod it out a lot. Then I wanted a T-egg but missed out on that. I might just go with a frog or something of that nature but we will see.

Also, I am shopping for a transmitter. Honestly, since I don't race or plan on it I may just get a 2PL, it's futaba's 2 channel AM computer radio. I think I might go for AM to cut costs on recievers, since am is cheap. Not sure if I will use a 3r channel anytime soon, but I am open to suggestions, I just don't want to be payin 50 bucks every time I need a new reciever for a new model.

18,300 rpm vs 16,300 rpm (at best efficiency) cant wait to lock the diffs on it.

Losi diaper... hilarious!

I think that's more tailored to the guys who actually get their trucks dirty =)

Some issues getting the links made for the axles have slowed it, but I'm off to the Hardware store this evening to get the proper parts...

Progress will be made!

Maybe I'll get a 5B before Jim!!! Probably be around X mas time w/ coupons...

BUT I'd rather spend less, so a Panther G would be more in my range (like 30 bucks cheaper?) or maybe just a King Hauler or two who knows...

If I got a Panther, I'd probably figure out which motor drives the tank (if it's like the Leo) and but a XBR 8.5 in it or something.[X(]

Nice Tim! Need a reverse rear servo so you don't need the tall ball link, though...
