The money shot! 4.27CCs of fury :P

Team Losi LST2. Tops out at 40mph with the 2 speed trans. Still need to break in the motor so it will be a while till it sees full speed.

Well since I'm not feeling the Honda thing anymore I have found another way to throw my money(welfare check ;)) away. :8
Just thought i would share 8)

L0L. but they are fun, been a while sence i last used mine. i think its time for a new engine...do you know if after 10 tanks or so of fuel the engine gets fried?

Tanks of fuel dont matter. Its how you use/abuse it. You can check compression by turning the flywheel with one finger. It should feel like it sticks on the compression stroke and you might need to force it to turn if it still has good compression. If it turns loosely then its toast.

So basically if you can push it past the compression stroke easily with one finger its toast.

You need to upgrade the Traxxas to the titanium base plate and it'll be set, that's what having these trucks is all about. You go out until a stock part breaks, then you upgrade it ;)

I remember a few months back when you were first startin to get into this ----, at least you knew how much of a money pit they can be!

Thats not my Traxxas :-X. I would never own anything other than a Losi ;)

But yeah, unless you beat the ---- out of RC cars they retain their value to about 2/3 of the original price.

Why buy it if you aren't gonna beat the ---- out of it? ;) I don't care about resale I just wanna have fun. Wonder what mine's worth now days...

Re: Bought another truck today.
 
oh I never said I want going to bash it. It will be really hard to beat this truck to the point to where its worthless. The bouble metal plate main chassis will ensure that ;). Everything is easily replacable and relatively cheap. I cant waite to do some backflips off of monster jumps >:D
