Hey guys, I am looking at the Nikko American Spirit, and it looks like
an awesome deal, and pretty durable too.
I've heard it goes about 30km/h... is this true? About how long does the
battery last? Is it pretty durable? I just want some people's opinions

I've only had it a very short while and the servo is playing up big-time.
When I'm not touching the controls the servo goes completely apeshit.  Like
it can't find the position it's supposed to be at, (that's the best
explanation I can come up with.)

Anyone had any experience of them?  Are they any good?
Thinking about sticking the .32 in the Sav - just for a laugh :)

Hey hey all,
I have just picked up an E-Maxx. It is a great truck, I can't wait to
drive it for the first time. I have some questions about batteries and
the chargers for them. New to RC cars, I am.

...the beast is still costing me!  Arrived in the post today, Proline 23mm
Hex adaptors and a 17t clutchbell.  Now need to get me some 23mm wheels....
Thinking about giving her a nice change over winter.  Maybe change the
springs, lower her a little, new shell, something white ...

I was up at Lake Tahoe last week and ran across this group of people. They were
playing a game of tanks vs. tanks. I talked to one of the guys and he told me
that is was costly.  He said it would cost me something like 3 grand for
everything...

I don't intend to be in racing. Just have fun with my son in the
backyard. I am looking for hassle free good RC cars.
After reading through the posts - felt like going for electric car and
the model I am looking at is :

my Losi LST quit running all of a sudden, repeatedly?  It just cuts off for
no apparent reason, after running fine for 2 - 5 minutes, with plenty of
fuel left in the tank.
Mach .26 with less than 2 hours total time after break-in,

Hi all, well I took the Savage out again last night and gave it a run, its
running much better allthough the 2nd and 3rd gear adjustments I did Sunday
night weren't enough so need to strip the gearbox again.
Near the end of the tank I was doing some speed runs trying to get it into

looking for more rockford il area bashers.

This summer I bought a cheap RC boat.  However, the remote controller
(27Mhz) broke and since I only had a 49mhz truck, I could not
interchange the controller between the 2 RC devices.
I just purchased another RC truck with a 27mhz controller.  I figured

Hi all, so I went and ordered a set of Revo wheels thinking that they would
fit on my E-maxx using the e-maxx tires, but I was sooooo wrong.  These Revo
wheels are massive!
Now T/Emaxx wheels and tires are the same as Savage so I stupidly thought

Is there a solution to bent antenna tubes? I store/transport my 3
1/10th rc trucks in large rc tote bag. The antenna tubes always get
bent out of whack. It looks horrible. Do they make antenna tubes that
don't retain there bent shape? Or are there any other alternatives?

   I must make an Electric-RC car that must race a 40metre straight
track. The whole car must be self-made including the chasis,mounting
etc. Here is what I am considering, as I am new to the RC world please
provide constructive comments.
