My friends little pede is fun to watch zipping along side my Savage Flux. He's kicking himself in the ass for not spending the extra on the VXL version now. I got him a Hum Vee body to replace the trash stock one. Gotta get him a new Onyx charger for christmas when hes back from alchohol therapy

Yep, Lutcher, LA for me. Me and linc have gotten together quite a few times and bashed around. Any good spots for playing out there?

I would skip those Tenergy's if you are popping the Duratrax cells. Duratrax cells are pretty good quality NiMh's. If I were you I would skip the NiMh's all together and go Lipo.

HA, I have a few buddies that live in P-ville, and old nitrofluffer is in gramercy, so not that far from you.

I love pedes, just traded one of mine for a ps3 and I now want to get the others up and running again.

I have gta4 for xbox 360, but I need to play it on ps3 as well! I will most likely put the ps3 in the office as the xbox is in the living room.

I have a few buddies who do rc, but mainly scale trucks for mud bashing!

Yeah, we could get together and run somewhere, tons of places here and I am sure you have some decent bashing spots up by you. I have a buddy who lives in BR that I visit so I could leave early and get some bashing in with ya!

Or from nitro rcx for $40 shipped. There are some really nice ones there(balance charger, computer hook up, ect..).

EDIT: or you can get a losi lipo converter for your prophet plus. thats what I did for awhile and it works.
