I spent a ---- ton of money on r/c ----. I still have a bit left, I always "just about" buy a new one every once and a while when I get the itch. I use them for a while, mod the ---- out of it and get board when all the hop up parts are done. It would be cool if you lived near a track. That big bitch is cool, I want a very close replica 1/4 scale monster truck with a real 1/4 scale v8 and a supercharger.

Holy ----, supercharged RC car... only one i've ever seen like that was a little drift car that would burn rubber and hit like 20 mph. I can't justify $1k for a RC car when I could go by a real car for that. Or but a new ballbearing turbo for that matter.

As far as a track goes, that thing would be perfect to run where I go rum my quad. Lots of sand and tons of open land. Wo needs a track.

It takes me a while to "get bored" of ---- when I get into it. I'm doing the smart thing and buing used ---- in good condition. I would never pay full price for something.....except that baja buggy .



I bought this on ebay off of a local guy. Its in excellent shape. Got it for $140 and it cost me another $200 in electronics. Its an 04 but this was $400 new. The 07 is $600 ......god dam Im a ------- geek

I used to be into rc cars when I was in Junior High and part of High School. Oh Traxxas Sledgehammer...those were the day. I always like the looks of the older Tamiya stuff like the Blackfoot and Midnight Pumpkin. They had the like the hard plastic body and were basically like the things you could buy at Walmart but you just had to put them all together and were faster. Memories.. My one nephew is into rc cars and gets one like every holiday.

I had the Blackfoot, the crappy part about that one was that the frame was also plastic and I cracked it running into a wall at the track. Those new gas powered ones look pretty cool though.

I have a Nitro RS-4 Pro, I think....that tells ya how much I play with it. It's cool when I get the itch, but like Highroller said, it would be better if I had a track to run it on. That buggy looks pretty raw though
