Cool pics andy!:thumbsup

How fast can that thing go?

My kid has an HPI Savage for sale...

it has xtra rims and paddles...

Race motor... K&N air filter.. hypo disc brakes.. metal gears, race clutch...

I think 600 would take it home with the radio and tools


Big B

Roxxy - out of the box.. which is how that one is it will do 40+ mph.. with the mods im looking at im not sure what it will get up to.. am still new to the RC world....





CE_BigB - i looked at the HPI Savage.. those are some sweet trucks.. alomst bout one instead of the Traxxas.. with all the stuff you listed 600 is a damn good price... hell just to get everything i needed to run mine i spent 550... and thats just stock

Sexy beatch!...

all this is for kids,
if you want real toy.


get

RC JET with miniaturized jet engines

that does 280-310 mph

with real jet fuel.

i've seen one live, shit is amazing.

My borther got one like this too ..not really like this but anyway.... its a green pick-up don't know the specs....cool toy :thumbsup

dude.... hell yes those are amazing..ive seen 1 around town.. theres alot of helicopters and other planes the ppl have..

but good lord the $$$ for those.. LOL i will stick with my truck

that's a cool toy. I wonder how much they cost in Europe

yeah i've heard for a jet they wanted like $3000 for a used one or something.


even if i had the money to get one, i would never get one i have no where to fly lol.. :)

looks like a lot of fun :thumbsup

KIDDO !!!

This is an ADULT Webmaster Board . :glugglug

hahah same here.. id be afraid of crashing it..

id just drive it up and down the run way.. LOL

ROFL

am just a kid at heart... what can i say

i like my toys HAHAHAH

lol, a bit over the top

These toys sometimes is nice to have:):thumbsup

ever driven one of those? lots of fun! :)

oh yeah.. they are ALOT of fun.. im still not used to the controls thou.. so i end up turn to sharp and fast and it rolls... but usually lands on its wheels

a RC car that goes that fast is kinda funny to me but they do look like alot of fun

is that truck gas or electric?

nm, i didnt see all of the pics....:tongue:

gas..well 20% nitro fuel...

the tank holds like 125cc of fuel.. and wil last 10-15 mins depending on how much WOT ya do..

cool shit... i've been looking into picking up a nitro street car in the near future.:thumbsup

so... have you launched it off anything yet???

i saw a video awhile back where a guy shot one of those off a ramp and the thing flew over his house!!! no shit!!!

hey man... found that video... copy & paste --> http://www.rcpics.net/media/housejump.wmv

:thumbsup

ive seen that video.. wicked as hell.

i forget the type of buggy that is.. but DAYUM it can fly

i have not launched my truck yet.. but gimme time...

Cool pics, if those things werent so doing expensive I would like to get one

that was my reasoning for the longest time.. til i started looking into them..

the most expensive part is up fromt.. my set up ran 550.. thats everything to get me running right then..

but parts for it are cheap.. break an A-arm.. 7 bucks.. axle.. 10 bucks.. course new engine will be 150ish.. with rims/tires comming in around 60 or so..

but they are tuff trucks. ive abused mine pretty good since i got it and havent broke anything.....yet

oh man that was a hell of a jump!!! very cool!:thumbsup

hey andy, when are you going to bring that truck to the office so we can re-create that video?!:Graucho

:glugglug

those things make the most annoying sounds when they;re running.....





:mad:

y0 ben!

haah will have to bring it up soon.. will let ya know when i do

it'a a really nice toy...I'd mass with it too:thumbsup

heheh thanks..

it keeps me outta trouble... sometimes..
