I was out at the track the other day when a guy pulls up with a shiny new
T-Maxx 3.3.  He filled his tank and set his truck on the track.  I was
amazed how clean his truck was and how dirty mine was in comparison.  I
asked him if he had been racing long and he told me he just got ...

hello, my thunder tiger SSR starts and revs up ok but the car does
not
move.
the weels are free of any restrictions and all the cogs/cams spin

i used to own and race an electric RC10 back around 1988-90ish... i still
have the car (and it still works)...
now i have a kid and im trying to find father-son activities... i went to an
RC race track and watched the new nitros... after doing some research i went

I would like to get into RC rock crawling. Is a Nylint Wrangler
electric RC a good choice for this price range? Any other suggestions?
Is gas better in this price range?
Thanks.

I was out at the track again tonight.  There was a guy out there with a Revo
3.3, too.  Well, it USED to be a Revo 3.3.  He had a ton of modifications on
that thing (took off the electric starter, went down to one high torque/high

Can a person swap out the receiver in a Revo for another, like a
spektrum receiver? Or is the Revo receiver set up special for the dual
steering servos? I'd like to retain dual steering servos if possible,
and plan on upgrading to a spektrum dx3.0. Thanks, Greg.

Hi all just recently I my steering servo has been making a funny clicking
noise and think i needd to replace it but i just wonderd will i need to get
the same servo? im using a 27mhz reciever etc so can i just buy any 27mhz
serrvo or do i need to match it up with with my throttle ...

I have a Blade Brushless, and feel the need for some aluminum suspension
parts, arms, hub carriers, and steering knuckles. anyone know if and
where they can be found. I'm having no luck searching for them. Thanks,
Greg.

...and there were two other guys out there racing on the concrete track.
Even though I was going to go to the dirt track, I thought I had still
better ask what channel they were using.  We all checked out and none of us
would be on the same frequency.
