does himoto have a web site or some place i could veiw them and if so are they cheaper or more espensive than redcats?

tell me if you think thish is a good place to start bashing. the place is a 4 wheeler track its preety nice tell me what you think.

I think they have a site, but ive heard it's very poor, not sure of the address. and both himotos and redcats are priced in the same range, as far as ive seen.

umm there are 2 pages now

i think poopoo59 likes to see himself type like people like to hear themselves talk :D

the himoto website is himotoracing.com its pointless. And what do you want us to see? As far as a good place to start bashing? Just make sure its open and doesnt have many cement objects.

I have a himoto syclone pro with the two speed...been happier with it than my son's traxxas stadium maxx...I've been able to keep it running a lot longer and it was much cheaper...I got it on Ebay 'cause I was given a $200 cap (OK so I spent 225 out the door, but I got a bunch of extra glow plugs, in line fuel filter, and starter kit)...but learning what I have since, I'd get from Mark at Top Speed Toys...I still need to figure out what I need to place one order with him, but he's been great with people in the threads and has good prices...

As far as truck or buggy, everyone has their own opinion...depends on what you plan to use it for, and what you want out of it. If you plan on flatter dirt, or jumps and want top speed, go with the buggy, if you're going over rougher terrain, where you need the ground clearance, go with the truck...but what I've seen in the threads vs my personal experience, I think the buggies are more durable, as the bigger wheels put more strain on the drivetrain and suspension components....Just MHO....

so all you are telling me that basically dont get himoto?:D

also i played the jump game and beat the game. im not sayin that im gonna but if i do get the buggy which is the xp should i save and get a nother car and wait till i get better to run the xp. or just run it right away and strip a ton of gears or what. oh thanks for all the info so far.

run it until the gears strip and then buy a single speed for the xl and put it in the xp.

how fast does it usually srip gears.

Well it depends on how well you can set the mesh inbetween the gears. I've had mine on there for about half a gallon the gear looks almost like new. But then again I remember when I first got my car I was stripping a gear every 5 or so tanks of gas.
So really it all depends.

how do you strip gears?

Take off all their clothes.

no im serious. but that was a good one.

gimme a serious answer. what do you think of topspeedtoys???

It is a great site. Everyone will agree, no one has had ANY bad comments about it.

A great guy to deal with and I'd recommend him to anyone.

Gears are stripped mainly by not being meshed or lined up correctly and by various other causes.

does the volcanoe sv pro have a two speed tranny or one.

A one speed. You can find most of the information you need on the redcat site under the specs. for any car/truck/buggy.
