It's a boat forum but I know a little about RC cars and trucks.
Shumacher is well-known for making over-powered/under-sized cars and trucks. Their 70 MPH truck really couldn't get up to that speed because of the soft tires. Not many people have a place to get those things up to speed anyway.

Good luck on your drying out, it's not easy. I found myself in a similar situation years ago when I noticed that I couldn't wait to get out of work to hit a bar. I managed to dry myself out but it wasn't easy. If you have to, hit the AA meetings for support. I have one 2 blocks from my house and the odd thing is that's it's a former bar that I've staggered out of a few times. I've been to a few AA and NA meetings and have seen how bad some people have had it. Been clean for 12 years now and don't miss those days at all.

Nice cars. My son has a t-maxx 3.3 that's fun. Anything nitro is fun. I have a nitro heli I need to get going....

Thanks guys,yeah sad but true i have no choice to never drink again,hang in there Ron. T-MAXX 3.3 yeah i love em too and as all of us nothing like nitro regardless,still have my bran ne Miss Vegas weather still sucks as ussual,your son would have a blast in the snow 3.3 4wd,my jato,forget it 3.3 rear wheel drive.Th MAXX could pull through some of it,it's snowing as i write,now there calling for a foot and ice.Be firing up the snow thrower up AGAIN,i hate PA,i really do.Why are the people here so cool? In the car forums they're miserable,some are any way,ask something there it's all negitive,here people can assosiate with what ever.Take care fellows.


Oh yeah a couple weeks ago i one this on ebay,it's really good and strong,this thing is fast.I froze 1/2 to death though,i had to just watch for traffic and ran it in the street.

i'm not sure why most boating forums are more pleasent than others. but you're right about it though. doesn't seem to make a matter what site, not just here. i race a lot, & that's one of the things i really enjoy about it. the other racers are VERY willing to share info & help each other out. they seem to want competition, not just to dominate. one of the reasons i mainly just do boats now.....my son has a jato 3.3, that car is off the hook!!!

My take.....a lot of YOUNG people(teens below 18)do cars...and they don't have the cash to do repairs or upgrades once they get the vehicle and either want it to perfom better or need to repair from racing, bashing and crashing. These same said people don't like the boats cause because of the extra stuff.....waterproofing, stalls out in the lake/pond, preventative maintanence, etc. So you get a more mature, laid back crowd on these boat forums IMHO.

Ya, Lay-ed back next to a river bank is far more relaxing. I started RC truck/slider dirt track this winter. I have to say I've seen some tempers this winter. I'm not there to win. like some who hate to lose. Calling out another driver. If he gets in the way. road rage. kinda BS. But I've seen some pissy-ness boating too. Not as much. You can go back to your end of the pond. Thankfully You find them all over.

Yeah,young kids who really don't even know really what they're talking about.I'm not old but i'm this close to 40 (.) still love r/c any thing.Dam i wanna come over your place moparbarn,i have 2 flat acres of bak yard and like just under one in the front,drive way's about 100'.So i have a little room,wish 1/2 was water though.That's another issue i'm dealling with.The only place i can run it is in ths Susquehanna river,but my brother's a nitro adict also,he's into planes.But he and his wife have Kyaks so she's gonna be out there in case it quits or something.The river where i'm located is really not no DE river that's for sure,gennerelly pretty calm depending on the times,tides and all that.I'm also a Mopar freak,i always wanted a 69 road runner with a 426 Hemi,or a 440 Magnum,383 Wedgewouldn't matter they're all power houses.I wound up with the 318 yrs ago,sold it.Nice car,no power,a freakin bicycle had more power.
