well i just broke out my savage truck today and had a blast with it. the kids in my neighborhood were trying to race it with their bikes and couldnt beat it. preety funny. technically i pay 30 bucks a gallon for nitro so it aint cheaper than gas. been looking at a traxxas nitro 4-tec what do you guys think about that. i use to have a tower hobbies stadium truck that i adapted a trx2.5 motor in is and it was insane. i had to teak the suspension and take off easy to keep it from flippin over its back.

Hmmmm this may be a reason to get mine out.. I have a Savage with a Hyper 21, a GS Storm with a Hyper 21 and a Ofna Hyper Pro with a O.S 21. Dont know if I want to get them dirty because they have never been run. I use them for paper weights. I enjoy building them more then running them.

well if all you want is FAST straight line speed then its a great car !!!!!! but if wanna go around turns also, look into hpi's nitro rs4, and if you want the mac daddy in RTR (Ready To Run) then you'll want the team associated nitro tc3. make sure to get the one with the 2spd.
Phils Hobby Shop on park blvd has all these in stock at reasonable prices.

those with monster trucks, we should meet up at lake park to bash sometime. they have scheduled races ever other sun though.
revo,tmaxx and losi xxx4 here.

i love my ofna buggy but it hasnt been run in a while so ill need to buy new clutchs and my center tranny diff is locking up so ill need a new one too. i got out of it because I'd break the damn thing every time I ran it. I had over $1000 in it before I knew it. I may get back into it though if there is a tr meet. The car doesnt do too well on the asphalt as it flips on sharp turns at speed.
