3.3cc of fury!

Its a Traxxas S-Maxx. I still have to run 4 more tanks of fuel through it to complete the break in period. Hopefully after that, I'll get some action shots. Even at 1/4 throttle, its a ***cing hoss.

Top speed for 45+ mph

I don't really dig the paint scheme. I'll grab a different body for it later. Not too concerned with it right now.

Hi NEN, That's bad, are you going to make a track or are there places to go race it?

 

[SuperSmitty]

i've always wanted one of those. looks good

i bet that will provide many hours of RC goodness ;D

Nice. My brother had a RC-10 truck when we were younger. It was fun but never worked 100%. It can be an expensive hobby and painful too. He would lose control of it and sometimes it would end up hitting somebody in the shin.

Eddie, there is a very large gully right behind my house, plus the street to my house is about 500 feet of dirt with a large circle at the end, and we live on a half acre, so I have plenty of room to drive.

Mike, I still have my old RC10GT. I looked into fixing it, and to get it going again would have cost me almost as much as this one did new, so I figured I'd go this route. When I told the kid at the store I had an old RC10GT, he said he was very interested, especially if it was the black chassis, which it is.

Anyway, I got to go to sleep so I can wake up earlier and get playing

aww an s-maxx? You should have got the revo!!
I got out of the RC hobby a couple years ago, it was mighty expensive. Still have a tlt-1 mini rock crawler and a hpi savage kicking around. Maybe one of these days I'll buy some fresh glow plugs and fire it up.

You should have given me the $187 to cover the difference between the S-Maxx and the Revo.

I still have an old RC10GT That I get out every once and a while. It runs good, but every time I get it out I seem to keep putting more and more $ into it. Last year I built some aluminum front A-arms for it at work, bought new wheels and tires, and upgraded the clutch.

It's worse than the SV as far as wanting to upgrade. At least it's a little cheaper.

 

[DarkMatter]

frackin cool.

 

[Iakayak81]

i think we need a ride along video

 

[NeverEndingNinja]

Yeah, I kind of got this to quell my desire to constantly upgrade the bike. I figure $100 is a huge investment in this thing, whereas its just a drop in the bucket for the bike.

I'm through the second tank now, waiting for it to cool off. Should have it broken in and tuned in about 2 hours

I've been addicted to rc now for a few years.

Heres a couple of my birds

Trexx 600n

Under the Canopy

Tl50 130 MPH flying wing.

 

[bfeils]

Sadly I actually spent enough on RC in the last two years to pay cash for a new SV.

 

[NeverEndingNinja]

Well, got it tuned in...and my tire ripped to shreds :angry7: I guess its back up to the LHS.

it's not. you could drop thousands in that thing if you wanted. That's one of the reasons why I got out of the hobby, it's like they purposely make the parts fragile so that you can break them and buy more at a inflated cost.

That's why I started making parts at work. Saves me some $ and I'm just out a little time, but it's nice to know I made it myself.
