I showed my owner the outruner for my crt .5 and he was impressed. It sounds like he knows something about the power of brushless... I will say he doesn't tell me anything I already don't know about bl.
Paralized, I like hoppin over to your house and peekin a bit. You know, it really makes the day more exciting. I just wont tell anyone about that... "time"....
off topic, but I was actually going to go to minneapolis tomorrow, but I just blew some money tonight on a movie, so I don't think I'll go.
For a tip: Although RTR on the traxxas website may be defined as ready to race, they've been bullcrappin ya. RTR means ready to run, no matter what.
