Sweet man. I have a few traxxas vehicles too. I have a tmaxx 2.5, nitro rustler, and a stampede. None of them run right now though lol. I had a nice brushless emaxx but i sold it a couple of months ago to help pay for my 250r. When I get some cash I will fix my tmaxx and stampede. Miss the sound of the nitro engine!! Here is my old emaxx.

You need to go brushless with that slash. I couldnt belive how fast my brushless truck is. I cant keep tires on it to save my life.

I would love to get a 1/5!! My brother made a brushless 1/8 stampede that runs on only a 2s lipo but it HAULS. Does over 40 easy and will pull wheelies all day long. My stampede has a 15t speedgems and it does pretty good but i want to go brushless with that.
I just got scammed on ebay for a 1/5 HPI Baja 5T. I knew the price was a bit to cheap. After i finish getting my losses from ebay/ paypal i plan on atempting to buy another. Then i will sell off my brushless stuff.

Been building and racing RC cars for about 16 years now, I've had just about every kind of RC car/truck you could imagine. I still race 1/8th scale nitro buggys, I have a Kyosho MP9 with OS-VZB and all the other goodies. And here's a pic of one of my last races, I'm the car in the air top right.

macs...if u want speed go with the baja but if u want a 4wd i would get the redcat rampage i bought mine for 649.00 off ebay free shiping comes with metal gear servos alum shocktowers beadlock rims..26cc engine..im geting mine christmas ill get some pics of it..
I have a baja and i really like it. No tuning required and its pretty durable. The only problems are its hard to find a place big enough to drive it because of its size and speed and its next to impossible to find a track you can run it at.

i've had a few of these nitro cars myself , but for me it seemed like most of the hobby is keeping the dam thing running rather than having fun with it ... lol ... just my experience

Not always man, if you have good stuff it should run, I race my cars and I never ever have to tune them.

X2. As long as you do regular maintenance and get good quality parts, they have a lot less problems.

Money pits.... I worked at the Hobby Store, had nitros, electrics, boats, trucks, planes.... Its a rich mans sport! Just sold off my last one (Jato) and couldnt be happier (at the moment) Although, a 1/18 Losi would be kinda fun in the house....
