Has anyone bought the new traxxas 3.3 motor yey??

I have a question about recharging NiMH batteries for my R/C car. (I
have a DuraTrax Evader ST RTR.) Is it really all that important to
discharge the batteries before charging them? What happens if you
don't? The reason I ask is because I want to buy DuraTrax's twin pulse

This is one of my favorites, but never ran it.....go figure.  Just ran two
tanks at idle for break-in.  It will be ebay bound soon.  Does look sweet
though.

I know its a silly question, but I missed it when it was new, got out
of the hobby around 1990, and just bought one on ebay without knowing
too much about the car.  I've gathered a little from the web, but
it's damn hard to get much detail.  I'm wondering first of all if any

Dudes,
Here's a new one for ya...............a servo fire!  My Hitec 645MG is no

Mayhem ST I nosed-in pretty hard on a bad landing.  Shorthly thereafter the

Yep thats right starting with the MAY 2006 issue RCCA becomes TCCA
rather Traxxas Contolled Car Action.
To further show that RCCA bows to Traxxas they devoted 16 pages and once
again the cover to traxxas products and 3 of the seven "ReadersRides"  .

I have seen more powerful, solid and durable other trucks then the
t-maxx for almost the same price. But the t-maxx is still owned by the
majority of RC people, plus you need to put at least $300 extra to the
original price to make it reliable a little.

I THOUGHT I WOULD TYPE THIS MESSAGE LIKE THIS BECAUSE I AM SICK OF
PEOPLE NOT KNOWING HOW TO TYPE WITH THE CAPS OFF. I AM SICK AND TIRED
OF BEING SICK AND TIRED. OH, AND HPI STINKS, TRAXXAS RULES!  ;)

MY PILE IS COVERED IN MUD.  OK TO PRESSURE WASH?  PILE MEANING SAVAGE

When I buy my savage, will i sinplmy be able yo change the crystal in my
conventional handset and use it instead of those horrible trigger and wheel
abortions they call controllers? Or will I need to put the matching receiver
in too?

You mentioned a Sav for £299
Where? If you don't mind. Was it the roto start?

Ok, this is truly not a flame-baiting post looking to bash Traxxas stuff,
but....................
Why does Traxxas refuse to release a vehicle with a big block as stock
equipment?  The new 3.3 is still a smallblock.  A low-compression, low

Thanks everyone for the good information, I was leaning toward the REVO
until I heard some of your comments. The Savage sound like the best
option, giving the fact that no one likes to be constantly
repairing/replacing..............

I am looking into purchasing a nitro monster truck and was needing some
input on the new Warhead. If anyone has any information good/bad I
would appericiate it!
