No, Im not talking about the ones you buy at toy store. Im talking about the real deal. Post pics of yours if you have them. This one my father and I did back a couple years ago. We are both patriotic and love Camaros so why not:usa:. Please ignore the wing I was 11 at the time and didnt know any better.

I used to race touring cars, and played around with 1/8th scale M/T's as well, you need the wings on those little cars, they do their job on a 2 lb car going 65-70 mph

It is a race car so IMO the wing looks good. I have an HPI nitro touring car and a Team Losi electric buggy.

I had an Ofna Utrla MBX Pro with a .26 Picco Outlaw in it but I never drove it and sold it to a friend so I could buy my exhaust.

I have an old Tamiya Terra Crusher. I threw some smaller wheels and upgraded to an Ofna Force .25. Considering it weighs around 11 lbs it shits an gets when it hits second gear. At least when it runs!

used to race 1/8th scale buggies. Still have a gs storm pro (only driven twice) that I havn't started in 2 years. Damn thing is ready to roll, pico .26, with an rb .21 on stand by. hi tech high torque servos. Just don't have time for it. I sold all the old stuff, Monster GT, and my ofna.

I used to have a Traxxas Revo. Installed a Qoncepts big block engine adapter kit for a Ofna Outlaw Picco .26(4.27cc) and i fabbed a custom side pipe. Added all the light weight upgrades i could find in an effort for speed and handling. Anything not needed, gone. Anyone familiar with the Ofna outlaw .26 knows its a beast. Running on the dirt track with a 19t pinion and 36t spur it would stand up and flip over at 45+mph down the back straight. Out on the street running 50% nitro it would keep up with my buddies traxxas nitro 4-tec 3.3 road car. And that car tops out over 65mph. Alas my house was robbed in january and it along with my computer and many other things are gone, the loss of the truck pissing me off the most. It was a legend at the now defunct Boggy Creek raceway and my local hobby shop. Wish i had pics to post but those went with the computer. Had about $1500+ in the truck.

Thanks. It really was a very simple paint job. The chrome did turn out very well. Too bad it decided to stop running. :mad:

Got some pics of my money pits! The buggy I got for free last week and have already sunk about $40 into it. Mostly in paint, and it is pretty much still looking like shit. Its a Thunder Tigre and came with a .21 pro r. I pulled the Force .25 out of my Terra Crusher and dropped it in and with the road tires on its a bitch to control!

I Have a traxxas t-max with an O.S. .18tm, a Losi LST2, and a Proboat Shockwave 36. Now they just collect dust since I got the camaro. Fuel was $30 a gallon for 20% last time I bought it, I bet it's probably near $45 a gallon now.

I have a VXL Rustler and an EMAXX. The Rustler is retarded fast on a 9 cell battery. I haven't ran it with a LIPO, but know it would be even more retarded.

I have a VXL Rustler and an E maxx also. The rustler really is nasty as stated above. I did the nitro thing for a little while but electric is way more hassle free. I just converted my E-Maxx over to burshless last night.

I've got a Duratrax Nitro Evader stadium truck. It's my first nitro truck. It came with a pretty stout .18 OS engine. So far it's pretty fun, just need to get the carb tuned good so she doesn't overheat so quickly.

i kinda got into it because of my bro-in-law. but if you need any info check out your local hobby shop, as long as they aren't arrogant pricks, they'll more than likely steer you towards some good starter cars.

Here is an update on my Thunder Tiger buggy. Motor is a 2.4hp Force .25 and it moves pretty damn good!
http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p12/12secLS1/misc328.jpg
Hi mate i notice you have the old terra.... i have one as well but the old motor crapped out on me after only about 5 litres... i havnt used the truck for near 5 years now and i pulled it out the other day... i actually have a revo 3.3 motor which i want to put on it but i dont have the first clue on how to go about it... do you have any ideas to help please???
the motor fits in as its a small block but the original bell has 16 teeth and i think the revo one has 15 or 17 teeth will this fit still? i havnt got one yet so not sure..
Also the header and exaust either needs modifying or do you know of a header that would fit right in?
Any kinda help would be much appreciated..
Cheers Ash..

I have a Jato 3.3 that I drove once. That thing is extremely fast. Hits 2nd gear around 55mph and does a back flip. It is just about uncontrollable. I also have a Revo 3.3 and a T-Maxx 3.3 that my son and I drive around a good bit . They are pretty damn fast also but a lot of fun...
