I bought the radio shack ones, I got too bored when the batteries were charging for an hour after I played with it for 5 minutes.

Thats why electric RC sucks donkey dick!! I love nitro, the smell burns the hairs in your nose and I can run for hours if I want, just haul *** over to my field box and squirt in the juice (kinda like HotCheeks!). This thing is awesome. You still break ---- every now and again, but nothing like when I had my on-road car, that ****** broke everytime out. Now I can just jump over the curbs and if I hit a tree, oh well, I feel sorry for the tree. When I'm done, this thing will probably be all aluminum and have a .26 engine in it pushing close to 4 hp. Insane is what it is.

rb concepts .21. i think the 8 port motors made the most out of any motors ( atleast about 3 years ago when i was into RC ----).. but those were on road motors.. those fucekrs were bad though. i knew of 1/8 scale serpents running almost 100 mph

you got a little more than 600 into it dude. that motor goes for about 80 bux. its a megatech 1hp if I am not mistake, alluminum wheels usually go 4 about 200 a set, rollcage is usually about 100, all that alluminum is at least 300-400.

I worked at an rc car shop for 2 years thats how I know. good times with those t maxx's they pull some serious wheelies.

I'm an ebay super savin ----------er. Rollcage- $40, Wheels-$80, Skids-$50, Chassis- $70, Megatech M-16- $65, Bumpers- $30, Truck (used)- $235. The rest adds up in misc ----. Still fun though. I have found that ebay is way better then local hobby shops for getting nice parts cheap. The saem roll cage, my hobby shop wanted $120, and they wanted $170 for the wheels. *******.
