Long time ago it was fun 'cause my pop did most of the work and me and my bro just had fun. My bro actually was sponsored for a while, I'd dropped out by then. Still have some stuff collecting dust somewhere.

I've actually got an RC10 four wheel conversion with the carbon fiber chasis. I've got an unbuilt gas somewhere and a motor tweeked by the top dude of the time. I'll hafta dig that shit up, I'm sure a fig wouldn't mind pimpin' in a phat ride.

Totally false with today's technologies. I have serveral electrics that will leave nitros behind.

Glad to hear it man-I have been out of it for a while-matter of fact the last time i got my rC out i soldered a voltage reducing diode inline to run the speed control...That was before they made the harnesses..Any recommendations for newer electric road cars ....

JHOTTROD: Depends on your budget and what you intend to do. i.e. Race or Bash. Fill me in and I'd be glad to reccomend something.
