RE: Deal?

If you start the auction at $40 you will definitely sell it.
Do yourself a favor & don't put a reserve on it, reserve auctions are lame.

What ever you do, look for a kit that does not use cheap stock servos!

RE: racing on sand is dangerous????????

In short.....YES it will get in to everything and trash your drivetrain. Also it really only takes a few grains of sand in your engine to totaly smoke it.

You've been warned.

RE: Buying First RC, not sure what

Nitro is cool but very $$$$$ also be ready to wrench on it or pay to have it fixed by your LHS. Go with a Truck They are generally not quite as fast but are a lot of fun and very durable.

RE: Buy E-Maxx from LHS, online or ebay?

FHM101,

So if your contention is that the Local shop has a lower cost of operations why do they seem indignant about ever marking a single item down below MSRP? It's called competitive pricing...

RE: Buy E-Maxx from LHS, online or ebay?

I'd STAY AWAY FROM the used EMAXX unless it's $150 or less and in really good shape. Ebay is great, but you can do better at most of the online hobby stores.

You can pick up a Brand new EMAX...

RE: Radio Glitches

Thanks for the follow up...

I tried a different set of crystals NO luck. I'll check the exhaust tonight. Could it possibly be something inside the motor, pullstart or clutch?

RE: Using a tank for compressed air vs. a compressor???
