Next project?

The 5b is a bit slow, IMO.

really??? Huh, i have seen some really really quick ones, although they had 30.5cc with a pipe. Also someone on here converted one and it seemed ok. Ah well. The TXT sounds good

[BL_RV0]

How durable are the TXT's?

18th scale BL

[BL_RV0]

Too small.

I personally could not input on this, but have heard some good things on them. really all depends on availability of parts to you i guess. I can break anything so parts availability is a must for me.

here is a decent review - http://www.everything-rc-cars.com/61-tamiya-txt-1.html

Slow, not reaching speeds over 5mph.

Yeah i personally would not do a txt cause it is not my style but they do look cool.

Get some more money and get a kyosho mp9 when it comes out ..

neu 1527 on 12s....that should get it going at least.

[BL_RV0]

No. I run a lehner 3080 on 20s. It's not really enough for my ball.
