Nice car! I haven't tooled around with an R/C for the LONGEST! I still have a Traxxas T-Maxx with an O.S. Hyper 15 engine and a race pipe. I had a lot of nice things installed, like an M.I.P. temp gauge and a on-board battery gauge for the electronics.

I just hated tuning the thing all the time. You'd do a couple passes, then lean it out or richen it up. It never seemed to run absolutely perfect.

I also used to race off-road and had a Team Losi XXX buggy that I really used to have fun with. I have some vhs tapes somewhere with some races I went to.

sweet i would like to take mine to a local track and pretty much just bash because first i dont know how to drive and second lol i dont want to get addicted to racing. but ive put a six cell 1400 batt pack and a stronger MG servo because the plastic ones keept breaking. so now i have the Hitech 645MG it has like 130 somthing oz at 6v so it will do alot better than the stock ones.

Yeah upgrading the servos and battery pack is always a good investment. I'd definitely look into an onboard battery gauge. It's always good to see how that battery is doing. Is that your first nitro car?

Look into getting a laser Temp gauge to monitor and control your fuel, or:

i have a lazer temp gauge but no i do not have an on board batt gauge. and yes this is my first RC car. i do have a nitro plane though.

Got it, yeah I just started googling stuff, not much has changed since I stopped racing.

Hmmm. That ID looks familiar.

I need to get to my shop and get my models prepared for another flying season. I've got one that needs repair and one that needs to be finished. Showing cars took a toll on my model flying, last year.
