Thats what im thinking.
Servos + Radio Is taken care by JR.
Pipe is taken care by JP
Ill check what engine it comes with first. If its that stupid .28 Mac Star or whatever its called, I wont get it, Ill just get an OS .28 XZ and dump it in the Nitrage.
I have all the minute accessories already ( Glow Starter Thingy, Fuel, Filters + Air Filters, all that crap.)
So yeah..
Any downside, to this truck anyone care to share.?

Macstar .28's are ok, theres a new version out now with a turbo head and better carb. Some of the ST's are coming with it.

if you get the Mac-Star .28 I suggest you tie it behind your nitrage and drag it over some sand dune and leave it there (rig the string to break once its far away and bring the Rage back!) junk engine nuff said.

Well I got it FINALLY 
Originally was buying a Revo
, but I couldnt walk away from this one.
OMG Is there steering angle.!
Pretty Solid Truck, got rid of the Mac .28, and Dumped an SH .28 in there for the time being ( Will be replaced with something much better soon ), Jr Radio, Jr Servos, And A Jp 4 exhaust.!
I cant wait to break it in.
BTW Anyone know how to eliminate the chassis droop on this.
Thanks

Finalllllly Made A Decision, No More Threads


I refused to sell off my Nitrage today.

OMG This thing looks good.!
When I walked in I had quite a few choices.
Traxxas Revo
Traxxas T - Maxx
HPI Savage
XTM Something or Another
Hyper ST
And I actually was about to charge the Revo, then I said no, gimme the Hyper ST.!
Dude this things big.!
Finally.!! My Time Has Come
I Hope I get to break it in tomorrow .!

Oh I threw the Mac .28 in the Bin ( Actually told him to keep it ), and picked up an SH .28, heard this engines pretty ok.
Anyone have any experince with this.
I actually thought I picked up a really bad engine.
Just finished reading about it over here, people say its quite ok.!?

Dude.
I'm angry. =_=
My antenna on my DX2.0 died...I can't find a new one anywhere online.
This is killing me, I almost had it running, I was so close, starterbox, started it up, drove it five feet, and then lost signal. I got five seconds of runtime. <_<
