Hi People,
I have a Tamiya XBG TGS 1/10th Nitro Road car. It came as a gift for
christmas. It seems pretty good quality, everything works and fits together
really nicely. Easy to get going, easy to tune, reliable etc etc. There is

I have a Tamiya TA03F Pro chassis that the brushed ESC gave up th
ghost. I am now thinking of brushless.
I am using this only for use in my street and occasional parking lot
What is a good way to go - Novak 5800SS or Hacker C40? What would th

Has anyone used the liquids that allow you to put a picture on the inside of
you body before you paint it?
If so, does it work with images done off the computer on a bubble jet
printer.

just trying to meet up with other r/c enthusiasts in the Saugerties, NY
area. Maybe find a track that is close to race my cars and trucks. i use
both onroad and offroad vehicles. I've also toyed with planes but don't own
anything right now, soon i will be back in the air. well if ...

I have a T-Maxx 2.5 and I'm having some trouble tuning the engine.  The
engine was broken in per the manual, then leaned out for performance.  
The top end is great, but acceleration is hit and miss.  If the truck
has been idleing for a few seconds, acceleration is instant.  ...

I've been experimenting with peak detection settings on my Piranha digital
charger. When I charge my Epic 3000 pack, it always peaks at about 3200 mah,
is that normal? And the battery wasn't dead empty to begin with. And this is
with the lowest peak setting of 3 mv/c. I know the ...

I bought an HPI Nitro MT which is almost identical to the RS4 MT, it has
stadiun truck tires on it, Can I just add a huge set of those Monster Truck
Tires for the Monster truck look?

Hi People,
I have a Kyosho Inferno Sports and I have a question about priming the
engine. THe manual states that you should "remove the air cleaner" and place
2 or 3 drops of fuel straight into the carbi venturi.

JUST RECEIVED AN 8-TURN MOTOR. WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST SERVO AND SPEED
CONTROL TO HELP MY CAR GET THE MOST SPEED FOR MY CAR? I am looking at
the intelli speed 8T Pro Racing Forward ESC and the Futaba High Speed
2BB Servo.

Ok, so I'm new to this R/C car  stuff and have already posted a few
questions to this group, so I thought, what the hell, I'll ask yet another
question..
Basically I need a battery charger to charge 7.2 volt NiMh six cell stick

I can see how dirty these monster trucks get, quickly too. Periodically I
might want to clean this thing. If I was to take out all the electronics
(it's electric) do you think I could just run it under some fresh water?
People like to keep their full scale cars clean, why should it ...

Recently I visited an old friend who owns a nitro powered monster
truck.  Very cool.  Now I have gotten the bug and am planning to buy a
radio controlled car - the question is which one?
The truck was fun, but requires a lot of space.  I would really prefer

I've been having fun with my new Stampede, it's the perfect truck for my
dirt alley here. But I've noticed it's kind of slow accelerating. Granted
it's electric, but these things are supposed to do wicked wheelies and I
can't get the front tires off the ground. Do you think my ...

I am thinking about buying a bunch of 2 conductor connectors, any tips on
the cheapest place?
Service really concerns me too, I will spend a little more if the service is
outstanding.

Other than Bolink rims and tires, what rim will fit the legend? I was told a
1/10 on road rim would fit, is this true
Thanks
