That's a nice truck... I just looked at the Traxxas site and like what I saw... it's all time dependent for me though.

They did a whole story on rock crawlers on Extreme 4x4.It was pretty interesting,supposedly there is a company that will make your ride in mini form.Maybe I will have to look into this when I don't have other $$ obligations.

Hey Paul... how much run time are you getting? That tank looks small ![EEK!](https://blazerforum.com/forum/images/smilies/eek.gif)
Anyone running one of the 1/5 scales with the 2 stroke gasoline engine? I had a chance to try one out... it was really nice, but really expensive!

I don't race at all, pretty much play around at the abandoned golf course that my property backs up onto. I sold my Baja 5T yesterday. But my Baja 5b is a 1/5 scale, they are huge, heavy, and can take quite the beating.
I love it, I run around with my 9 y/o with his little truck and we can kill an afternoon without breaking a sweat.

They are really nice. Hard to roll too! When I tried my friends out, we were at a park. He takes the controls back and flies across an open grassy sports field where he hits a hidden iron drainage cover on the edge of the field and it goes flying into the air and parts flying in different directions! The rear A-arm hit the edge of the iron cover and tore it loose, the plastic cover flew off, and the half shaft came out. Whoops! Glad he was at the controls! Pricey to fix.

Yeah i know it sucks but that what happens with Nitro compared to Gas motors :-( Also I couldent uprade the tank at all to a larger size and it being the size it is when it runs out about 10 mins its a good reminder for me to keep my eye on the running temp

I ended up adding a second tank to mine to get about a 1/2 hour of run time. I keep a digital temperature gun in my pocket whenever I run it too.

I got into RC drift while I was in Japan. Using a Yokomo chassis and few of their bodies. I started of with a ready to run drift kit that came with an R34 body and painted it the stock color. Then I really got into it and really started making custom stuff. Got all aluminum suspension and some carbon fiber chassis parts. Then made a Team Orange (drift team in Japan) Evo6 replica of there drift Evo8. Also made a Sil80 putting together a S13 body with a 180sx body. Also has custom offset wheels and carbon fiber hood and trunk. Then I made a RS-R IS200 Altezza. All the red, gold, and black is custom painted. This also had custom offset wheels, carbon fiber hood, trunk, and roof. Heres a few pics.
