You forgot the most important one.

The only one needed, in fact.

Here's a good topic. Whats your guys take on the SLASH. IMO its a typical traxxas reincarnation of some other rig...... shure its started a new racing class but IMO its another here today gone tomorrow one

Lunchboxer

It is neat if you want to have fun spec racing it.. I can see that being a lot of fun..

But I probably won't buy it for other than that reason, since I'd prefer a kit..

Nothing wrong with it, just personal preference..

The Hedgehog

"sure it started a new racing class" - hmm that seems pretty innovative

"here today gone tomorrow" - Been here for awhile and is as strong as ever

It is very popular at race tracks right now, definitively not going anywhere just yet.

Second it is one of the best bashers you can buy, pretty much unbreakable and a heck of a lot of fun to drive.

just got back from the hobby shop. they had a summit on display, it is awsome. the body is thicker than some others and the 775 motor is huge. the guy there was trying to get us to get it but i dont like revos or revo based products. i got a new camera on the way home, now i should be posting more pics and vids, it has a li-ion battery so no more AA's to replace

Eman77

Whoah whoah woah there fella...starting to sound a little bit like those Rustler fanboys do there.

Lunchboxer

What, you don't have a Rustler yet, Eman?!

Eman77

It broke.

(LOL)

Lunchboxer

I'd get one if I live closer to the tracks that race them.. would be kind of fun to do!!

cumquat

lb, you should get the vxl , upgrade to all the aluminum parts you can find for it and jump stuff with it you might be able to clear your house

calvino

LOL, LB, dont' listen to the guys, they are being a bad influence

Lunchboxer

LOL, I am too old to jump anything over the house.....

The Hedgehog

Cough 5minutes away cough

cumquat

maybe he wants it 4 minutes and 55 seconds away

REVO_RACER

Or maybe he wants it next door [>:].

calvino

Naw, mine is closest, about a 10 second walk.....

Lunchboxer

Next door would be nice.. but then the neighborhood probably won't be too nice.. ha!!

We are so picky.. ha ha ha!!

Lunchboxer

Saw this at TamiyaClub.. ouch!! Supposedly was doing a speed run.. going at 105mph, and hit a pole or something.. [&:]

nitrozach54

OUCH!
ive never seen carnage like that before.

mechanizeddeath

Holy...

Wow.

I think I might've broken 25 with my TB-02 and black can. [&:][&:][&:]

105? That's really moving! What's the speed record for electrics anyway?

Lunchboxer

I think the record is almost 140mph?! (13x mph..)

cumquat

last i checked it was 123 point somthing mph. in other news i picked up a copy of xtreme rc cars at the hobby shop and got to looking at it this morning, there is an arcticle that some of you will be interested in. "project thumper", its a 4-stroke nitro cr-01 unimoger. ill either scan the pages or take pics of them later. also at the hobby shop there was a street rc18t i think it was, it had all alumium short of a custom chassis. they wanted $250 bucks for it![:@] if was less i would have tried to get it but $250 plus motor, esc, and radio is a little much.

mechanizeddeath

Man that's crazy fast... I wonder how long you can stay in radio range at that speed? [&:]

The Hedgehog

Radio range is basically until you cannot see it anymore. I have some 140 mph+ airplanes and sometimes you can't even see it, but you still have range.

The only way I can fly it is muscle memory (when I am turning back without seeing the plane)

Lunchboxer

I think the world record for fastest RC is here..

134.4mph.. !
