this is my old toy is a traxxas rustler. its electric and its pretty cool. i got it back like 3 years ago and i bought a brand new 9 turn speed gems motor for it, but it was to fast and fried my batteries. the motor is made for a street car. also you cant buy this motor anymore i think. when i had it on i would floor it and it would flip right over. the stock motor is a sting ray 20 turn and if you have a good battery like a 3000 *Edited* know that motor is pretty fast, now think of a 9 turn yea lol. i just wanted to show yall my old truck, and i messed up my revo on it so i got a new one and now im looking to go to the hobby store and buy a battery so i can drive it again, its been sitting in my closet for 2 years. i have a quick 15min, charger for it. if anybody wants wanna the fastest electric motors made for the car let me know and ill sell it. its the one in the picture. well here it is, lets see *Edited**Edited* guys toys i now *Edited* have some. also i used to have a hpi comaro street car 4wd and it went out of range and went straight into the curb at top speed and boom it was gone.http://www.supload.com/thumbs/default/rustler001.bmp (http://www.supload.com/free/rustler001.bmp/view/)

Ah, the good ol' T-maxx. Those were the days! run it for a couple of tanks then go fix it. That is until I spent about a grand on it. Thought I still had some pics but I guess not. Trust me, if you want some crazy power without the added cost of a .21 conversion (giant exspense) go out and get a sirio .18pxtr or something like that. I had one and once I put CVD's on it that beast was insane. Flip over shifting into second if I wasn't careful. I was a master at tuning that sirio, easiet engine I have ever messed with aside from an OS. Now after I sold it to a complete idiot that I once knew and he destroyed it I was at the hobby shop and there was a used mini-t sitting there for sale. 120 bucks with motor and shock upgrades. This thing is great fun when I actually mess with it. It cruises. Took it to the local carpet track and ran it a couple times. If I could keep a little better control of it I think I could win some races. put some carpet tires on it that came with it and oh my goodnes does it ever hook up!

I run the maxx a few times a week and have yet to fix anything on it, and i beat the living heck out of it. I also love the 2.5 motor it has all the power i need. The sport dosn't run as of yesterday when i toasted the motor i have replace so many broken parts on that one it isn't even funny. I use to take the sport to the dirt bike track and take the biggest jumps i could find :beer
