i just measured my buggy and it came out to more than 2 feet long too 8)

plus that engine is only 2hp.. my engine is 3.5 hp.. and 2.6hp at the wheels.. so the hp at the wheels for the traxxass is like what.. 1.3hp? less?

xtm xlb for teh win! ^-^

update:

BUYERS REMORSE IS GONE!

;D

i borrowed my friends ramp.. and this thing went atleast 10 feet in the air ;D ON FIRST GEAR. 2nd gear hasnt even been tuned yet!

this thing is the shizznut.. im gonna run it rich for 2 more tanks just to be on the safe side with break in..

im still getting used to the controls cause it cant pull off sharp turns like the xterminator..

im already thinking about upgrading to quad steering >:D

damn.. this thing hauls ass and its not even tuned yet..

i wonder if i could fit two motors on it.. i wouldnt know how to go about that.. but that would kick ass..

AGAIN.. just so i could get the buggy.. retarded? yes.. did i regret it at first? yes.. do i regret it now? hell ------- no 8)

videos to come.. i bet i could jump a car with it :P either ill make it.. or you guys will see a funny video of a buggy going 40mph through my window and busting the buggy and the window :P top speed recorded by this buggy on grass and untuned on stock tires.. was 50mph.. i bet if i get some tires and do a hub conversion to run some rc slicks i could top that 8)

i must be a puss....i'm rocking a touring car tamiya 414....all wheel drive, 2 belt, electric motor(12 triple mod in it now)....that thing owns all.....bigg carpet track by my house haven't raced in a while...all my money is going to my turbo project :y...ps don't no much about nitro...but i have heard break it in like you want to run it....

Re: diggity diggity diggity. i just bought me an XTM XLB nitro rc buggy
 

break in period is only 45 minutes long.. you run it rich as ---- for those 45 minutes.. run it for 2 minutes 25% throttle.. let it cool run it again 25% then let it cool.. then go half throttle.. then same thing for 75% and run it 75% the rest of the break in.. the oil that lubricates the engine is actually inside the nitro fuel itself.. so u run it rich to make sure everything is well lubricated.. but ur not supposed to go wide open throttle anytime.. but i couldnt supress the temptation >:D
videos coming as soon as my lazy freind gets off her ass.

I've thought of it. I saw in person a guy make his own water-cooled motor. Runs no cooling head and only runs bout 140*F on the stock .15 Traxxas T-Maxx motor (older ones not new 2.5s or whatever). Had a radiator, water jacket, and seperate small 75cc (I believe) gas tank for the water. Pretty inventive and worked/ran flawlessly.


1/8th scale buggies are cool, but expensive. Saw one running with us on the track and they are AWD and hook like none other and fly. Fastest accelerating R/C of the groups that I have driven or seen in person. They are QUITE the racing R/C machine.


I haven't run mine and need a stock carb. Not to mention I like to ride in the things I make go fast. That's my hobby now that I can drive.
