I haven't had an RC car since my RC10 and RC10T. 10 turn motors in each. pretty dang quick, but about $400 more expensive (total setup) than this bad boy. I'm taking this one to the next meet. lol

Hey that vid was good. I bet it's pretty hard to drive one like that.
Sometimes some of those shot's looked like real cars.

THAT WAS A DOPE VID. the Z i picked up was $44. they only had it in the color shown above. the car comes with 3 switchable frequencys so you don't take control of anyone elses car. -which might be kinda fun! haha. I did see some smaller ones for $19 tho!

My first one was a 2WD, RC-10GT about 8 years ago. I had a OS .12 in it. Beat the hell out of it, but I got REALLY annoyed with trying to keep that motor running well.
Then I got a Losi XXX-T. It came with the stock motor (I bought it used) and it was god awful slow. So, I went and got a 13T motor and popped that in there. About 6 months later (after a few races etc) I noticed my ESC died. Whoops? Why did it die? Ohhhhh..."do not run fewer than 15 turns wtth the ESC included." Now I have to get a new ESC so I can get up and running again.
