RE: THE LOUNGE 2
Alright this is what it is (exact auction i won it on!) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=170139634356
Its a toy grade rc i was thinking of fixing and leaving a toy but it drives really slow. I am thinking of trying to rig my extra silvercan in there with real electronics but to busy to even take it apart right now. So its just sitting for now.

RE: THE LOUNGE 2
I am having more porblems with that nemesis then i ever thought possiable. (not the person i bought it from fault just my bad luck) The first day i get it and try to get it up and running i break the pull start. So i take it apart and decide to look over the engine. The engine looks good. So i go on ebay and get a new pull starter and oneway for cheap. Then a week later i get everything back together. But the truck will not stay on longer then 10 mins. And it was not over heating temps only like 205. Well anyways i manged to strip the two pinion gears. Which cost 15 each and attach to a clutch bell that is 20 (its impossiable to remove the gears off teh bell w/o ruining the cluch bell). THe old owner suggested i clean out the carb maybe somethign got in it thats why it was not running good. So i took off the carb. But ran into a huge problem the carb had like a metal clylinder that i guess made the seal. Well the peace came off the carb and its impossiable to put back on. So now i need a new carb on top of everyhing eles. Will this ever work right???????????????????

On the other hand, nitros are hard to beat with electrics in the air. Nitros still dominate that arena.

It's quite true, not worth the effort really. You can easily beat it with an electric.

As TEX said nitros and gas still dominate, except for small park flyers that is.
I don't hate nitro cars toooooo much, but my electrics get about 1000% more run time.
I'll take some pics probably tomorrow morning of my new cars.... I am waiting for a battery charge to try one out... the other needs a lot of work.

That's true. Hey I have a nitro Savage which I like and have not had too much problem with at all. Plane nitros are easier to tune than car ones, so I don' tend to mind them as much.

RE: THE LOUNGE 2
the more and more i work on this crawler the more of a money pit it is i think i just may sell it. buy a e-firestorm and though a brushless system in it with 7 cell 4200's nihms and it would still be cheaper then a crawler.
