Appearently, it can go 47 mph, or around 65 - 70 km/h, damn thats fast for a little thing :eek:

And I only gave up 150 CAD with shipping for it..

Dont worry, I still have money for bike parts :) (ppl have gotten mad at me because i bought it:mad: :???: )

yeah but the condition isnt too good these days..pot holes EVERYWHERE...although that may be the only place to go..

[BAC5.2]

Box Stock, the new rustlers with the 2.5 will go around 50.

The older engines would get you to 40 or so stock.

I used to have a car, but I took it apart and haven't put it back together yet

[g1mpy]

[bbike]

pewny little t-maxx, lol, I have the savage and a maxx 2.5. The savage smokes it, not quit as agile but has almost 6 1/2 inches of suspension, i have done a 90 foot gap with her, as well as a 30 foot drop. I used to have a nitro rustler, i also have 2 electric pimped out stampedes. Have fun, those things are fast.

[SPITFIRED]

Weird. I deffinitly didn't post twice.

You shoulda' seen my 1/8th Scale gas buggy I had last year...

My neighbor clocked it at 66MPH...

Sucker weighed 7.4LBS, and was AWD with 3 Differentials (Torsional Center, 10,000WT oil LSD front, and 5,000WT oil rear open).

It was powered by an O.S RZ-V01B. Little 3.46cc engine made 2.5HP. It was LOUD & obnoxious too... hehe.

I'll post some pictures if you *really* want me to. I wound up selling it for bike parts though.

Exactly. I owned an Ofna Hyper 7 Pro.. with the Torsional Diff in the center. Powered by an O.S RZ-V01B, that thing was a ROCKET (and then some).

1/8th scale buggies are BY FAR the formula one cars of the Radio Control world. goto www.radiocontrolzone.com

[freerider4ever]

A .21 t maxx will smoke a savage...any engine in the savage, the t maxx will still win. I have a t maxx with a ofna force .21 p4, and I have beaten every savage out there that has a stronger engine then mine, power means something, but weight really makes a difference.

[BigHit-Maniac]

Here's some images of my (ex) "toy" ...

I had over $1600 invested in my whole setup ...

[b-man]

i had a tamiya f-150 electric...an associated RC10B3, some on road car, a traxxas electric stampede, and a HPI RS4 MT nitro. they were nasty, but bikes took over :thepimp:

nice truck dude, traxxas=quality

yeah i want the 2.5 motor and im sure the t maxx can take a 30 footer mine did an 18 footer to flat:D it put some nice marks on my skid plate since it was a concrete landing none of my cars run very well there all over a year old and i run them way to hard so if i get new egnine i have to take really good care especially that ofna engine

[RAcErX336]

I raced RC cars for a while when I was sidelined from MX from an Injury. I had a bunch of different buggies and trucks and I also had a XXX-NT Gas Truck and a Tmaxx and an Ofna 1/8th scale buggy. The gas cars were fun but man they were a pain to keep tuned and everything. THats why I mostly stuck with electrics, there was a bigger electric offroad racing scene down here anyways, Im planning on getting another car sometime soon.
