I still have a Blackfoot. I have been thinking about selling it. I haven't used it for years.

Yah alot of my buddies had them, they were neat, could take a beating. I was also fond of the midnight pumpkin. Had one painted purple. Damn I miss being a kid. My parents hooked me the **** up. Ahh to go back.

e-maxx broke enough at 20 mph, let alone 60. My sts .30 savage faired much better. Those and four more sit in boxes because the ***** too expensive. Getting your kid hooked on drugs would be cheaper.

Possibly true! That is why I run them for a few months or a year then they get put up/sold. Get tired of running for 10-45 min and working for 5 min to an hour. I am excited to pass it along to my son.

i skipped all of the beginner rigs and got a revo 3.3 gas powered. what a mistake! i couldnt control the damn thing, and the bigger the jump i saw, the faster i hit it. it was a touch son of a bitch, but theres only so many wot curb smashes they can take before breaking parts. those little plastic a-arms and **** get EXPENSIVE. i sold it before i went broke replacing parts (because i coulnt control it.

every time i see my uncle he reminds me of the time i was showing him how fast that thing was...had it blasting down the center of the street and a big *** cat darted across and got NAILED. we laughed for hours that night.

I have a HPI Savage Flux fully modded out and also have a HPI Baja 5T that has a 29.5cc two stroke motor on it. I have been into RC cars for a while. Custm2500 if you look into buying any others or have questions just PM me. I have about 6 others and tubs of spare parts but they are all the 10th scale Traxxas Slash. I would let some of them go cheap cause i dont have anything in them hardly.

And once you get your car handling skills down, you'll want more power. And then shred drivetrain parts. I was big in it for maybe ten years. Got my first real r/c (pro .15 t-maxx) in '00 I think. They're fun though. Brushless is nice, but nitro is way cooler.

I'm on the other side of the fence, Ive been around both the Nitro and the lipo/brushless and I LOVE the Brushless way more... Faster, quieter and ALWAYS starts!!! But they are all fun. When I go play, I usually take 2 or three of my cars and a half dozen or so battery packs and I'm usually tired or bored of playing by the time I run them all down a couple hours later, I think I actual have more fun watching my friends play with them then when I play with them,
