Been into nitro RC trucks and cars for a while
Heres my current setup
Traxxas Jato 3.3 with alot of Integy upgrades.
I have a set of sand digger tires, yes the ones with huge cups for when im out in the dirt pits. And some gravel tires for when im just bashing around.
The thing does around 65mph in a straight line
Stupid fast
Would Love to setup a meet if other members are into these things!

I've got an older HPI nitro truck, it's pretty stock. Currently it has a starter issue, it hasn't been run for a year or two now. I just haven't had time to diagnose the problem and fix it. Wouldn't mind meeting up and playing, once I get the darn thing fixed.

I have a Traxxas Nitro rustler, with a seized carb or something that I need to fix. I have like an entire replacement engine, as well as a series of spare parts, but just haven't had the time to work on it. If anyone want's it I'm looking to sell it....

Wow thats a pretty decent price for all that stuff!
I cant recall if the rustler is 2wd or 4wd.
Ive been thinking of getting a 4wd lately.
The house and car have been the main priority lately haha

how long do the battery ones last? I'm not talking the Tyco ones from toys r' us, but maybe the ones from the traxxus website. I remember my old tyco one when I was little only ran for like 30-45 minutes before needing a charge.

Ive never owned an electric one. But I know the nitro are way more fun. and in some cases less expensive.
With electric, you have many things that can go wrong, speed controls, etc.
Electric is possible for faster off the line speeds.
Its just a personal preference for the nitro ones. The smell, exhaust sound, making my neighbors mad when i rip it up the street at 8pm. Theres nothing better when it comes to RC

All the ones here posted so far are nitro trucks and burn nitro gas. The electrical RC trucks will probably give you up to 20min in run time.

I have a few models, but this is the pride of my fleet. Serpent 705 with too many hop ups to note; powered by a Carlesson modified Rossi .15 racing engine. I control my models with the Spektrum DSM radio system. BTW, for those that don't know (and I hope he doesn't mind me calling him out) Tuned3 used to be the pres of MRCC. If we can get a big meet together (yes, I said big meet) we can probably convince him to bring the track out so we can run an on-road race.
