wtf is up with the background music...Give me the FG Beetle anyday over that. I think even the LST has a fun factor 10x higher than those bigger vehicles. Thats IMO of course.
The fleet:
LST2(His): LRP Z.28R Spec.3, Full Carbon Fiber and all the goodies - $Too much
T-Maxx(Hers): Modded TRX2.5, Full RPM, Some REVO goodies $Borderline
XXX-NT AD2(His): Modded LRP.18S Pro, Graphite and Aluminium $Great deal
Losi Mini-LST(His): Insane Motors, converting to aluminium $Why not
X-Ray M18MT(Hers): Tekin 5.4Kv BL, 3Racing all around, Custom 8.4V $Dont ask

Watching her T-Maxx still running after I broke all of mine....$Priceless

There is a guy here who started a shop selling all large scale R/C"s. He sells pretty much all 1/5 & 1/6 scale cars & trucks. He recently made a track at his shop. It is amazing to see 5 large scale vehicles running around his track ! It's AWESOME. If I can get this picture to work. Here is a 1/6 scale truck & a buggy racing on my track, before his was done. This truck was clocked at 47 mph ! I'm driving the truck in the picture Big Grin

[Image: 1.jpg]

He just recently got a HPI Baja. It's finally broken & waiting on parts. He is mainly stocked for FG & Smartech parts right now. I did not get to see it run, but he says he can run his dirt oval track wide open & never let off the throttle with it !

True. If I could get close to what I have in my Nitros. I would sell them all. The run times of 45 minutes & the power is freaking crazy. Here is his site, This place can warp your brain !
