She needs a new shell and rims but she runs well with the new motor...

that looks like it would be loads of fun. are the trucks more stable on the road/track than buggies? id imagine that wide, wide wheel base would help her sit nice and firm around a corner!?!?

[Willo]

yeah she hangs on well, especially with the new tyres on the rear... Can't say i've ever driven a buggy...

[Matt]

did you buy it new?

[Willo]

yeah about 5 years ago... since then it's had a new gearbox (gears and housing), 2 new motors, new tyres... That's my controller in the left of the first picture...

[Matt]

man... the gun type controllers are real common these days. its unreal. i used to race in the late 80s when i was a young, young boy and we used stick controls... and i bought a stick control for my current car....

[Willo]

Yeah I'm not a huge fan of those, I find the Pistal ones are more comfortable...

[James]

i hate the stick contollers, big up the pistol! I want one of them crystal'less ones, mmm, about $250-300 though. mmm

[Willo]

My controller was $250 when i got it... But then that's also an FM system, your probably talking AM there...

[Matt]

fwooaahh, i never knew there crystal-less ones exsist. are they programmable or something? do you know who makes them!??

[rc101]

nice is that fast or what with that new motor my dad put one of those 19d in a tamia kingblack foot and it would pop weellies

[BALISTC]

By now he has probably sold it, owned a Mini-T or two, a few drift cars, an on-road, a buggy and now is probably getting into nitro monster trucks :D

Its also funny to read everyones posts...FWOAH, I didnt know about those crystal-less controllers either, bet they are REAL expensive :D :D :D

[JD]

i hate stick contorllers for cars...i find i have more feeling in the steering holding onto a wheel - rather than a little stick

[Jai]

hahaah how classic are those words from james... yea i want a crystal less one... hahaha he's only got about 6 now.... hahahahaha

Well it's been a while since i've come on here... Unfortuneatly I've still got the truck and she hasn't seen the light of day for a little while due to lack of time and money. Have thought about getting a drifter and i've noticed you had one for sale Joe. But i've spent alot on the Pulsar (ex James Mandy PULSSSAR) in getting it ready for the Classic Challenge so the funds are tight.

In regards to being quick, yes it goes well but i think my battery packs are letting the team down...

EDIT: one day i hope to get a nitro truck
