Anybody ever broken there Con-Rod? I'm on my 8th tank of Nitro Fuel
and broke the above during normal driving.
Car was running on the "heavy" side as it was a hot and humid day.

I took out my Tmaxx today for the first time in a while  in a parking lot.
It handled like garbage , tipping, rolling over and the tires even wanted to
roll off the rim(CA kept then on). Once I got it on the grass it ran and
handled great. My questions are, Will street tires help ...

Are they still being made?

I have just bought a brand new Futaba 3PK from Hong Kong as the price was
good but i have question regarding a certain channel number.

I was wondering when car speeds are listed in pubs,
are those actual as would be reported by a normal say...radar gun,

the conversion kit, or does it only fit the ...
