to all that went to the rc expo, this past weekend, what did you think of it?

I thought it was ok, pretty much the same as last year. The 2 things that interest me are helicopters and the scale electric boats. These are things that i will be looking into in the future.

I bought a receiver pack for my Savage yesterday, 600mAh Rechargable. It said on the package to charge for 14 hours? ok, so I did. I went out and ran my truck today for a little over an hour and the receiver pack died.

Anyone know how long a 600mAh battery pack should last?

Its running the receiver, 1 Hitec 645MG servo, the two standard HPI servos that come with the truck (one for reverse and one for throttle/brack) and a Venom failsafe.

Losi Mini-T for sale, with Losi oil shocks, upgraded motor, and wheel bearings. I don't remember what kind of motor I put in it, but it was a direct drop-in. Body is kinda beat, needs new antenna tube. No battery. $100 firm.

I ran my new(too me) stampede tonite with my super crazy 1500 nicds and the run times were obviously, well, pathetic. Just looking for some better junk to throw in this thing.

I like al's cause its close. But...hobbytown in aurora is great, cause you get the indian couple chasing you around trying to "make deal"...and that big dude at the door who sighs every time you ask a question.

I'm looking to buy some sort of Off-Road Rolling Chassis or RTR, Nitro or Electric. I will consider anything Except a HPI MT. My first choices might be a T4 or a T-Maxx or E-Maxx. I'm just tired of not being able to drive an off-road track so I'm looking for anything decent until I get the AE Monster GT.

I want to try building a clod-based crawler.

Anyone going? vi6camaro you goin? john 78? call me 708 574 1894 if youre going. maybe i can convince jack and mr tune to roll up and i can steal a nitro mt to run. Or i'll buy something.

I just picked up a new body for my Savage. I got a stock unpainted Savage SS kit body, I figured I'd go cheap on my first one, just in case things dont turn out so hot, lol.

Anyone have any tips on painting? What paints are the best? What to use, airbrush, spray paint, etc...?

Im thinking of doing a paint scheme similar to this:
