BoostedXT 0 #5 May 20, 2004 I have some. I had a few electric that went about 50mph. Now I have a gas powered Losi that will hit over 70. 2 speed tranny...thing rips. Fun, but they can be a pain in the arse just like real cars once modified.

cocheese 0 #8 May 20, 2004 Wow cool. I just got in from flying my Mini speed wing over water.My heart beat is still high Only it's 3rd flight. But since it's the second plane like it that i built, i knew i could handle it.A few close calls. Yep if it gets wet, it's a $120 piece of wet toast. But i have nowhere to fly but over the lake unless i get in the car and drive. Need a rush when you aren't jumping ? Fly over water with a 24 inch plane in 12 mph winds. Hand launched of course. Landing between tree branches and sinking it in a 10ft x15ft area. Go to speedwing.netyes it goes 40 mph with 8 cell battery. Insanely fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glipazide 0 #11 May 21, 2004 http://www.traxxas.com/products/nitro/nsport/trx_nsport.htm I have the 2wd stadium truck and a PT40 that can't seem to stay together after I fly it. That truck is strong.. I couldn't belive how strong it was. I can't suggest the others, but this is one fun truck.http://sexygirlabs.com/url] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vertifly 0 #12 May 21, 2004 Just had my TMAXX upgraded to the 2.5 engine this week. Still need to break it in before really giving it the gas. The muffler has been punched too - giving it an interesting sound. Word has it that this thing will pull wheelies after the upgrade. They are fun but you gotta be into it. At speeds of 40 to 70 mph you really gotta take the time to learn driving, upkeep, and repair. It's a hobbie and should be approached this way. Just because these models are ready-to-run out of the box now-a-days.... well you get the idea. Highly advised...have lots of fun!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ron 10 #13 May 21, 2004 Why would you get rid of your planes? I just bought a 1/3 scale Pitts. With a big ol gas engine... Flew it today for its maiden.

JumpCrazy 0 #16 May 25, 2004 I have an HPI RS4 touring car with a .15 SS engine. I also have a Traxxas T-Maxx with a brand new Fantom FR18 engine. The T-Maxx has nearly 2 hp! I have just finished breaking in the .18 in the maxx and can't give it full throttle from a dead stop because it would wheelie and flip over.Flying Hellfish #470 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Be careful (like everyone always says) Well, it takes the Air Force about $100million to develop a missile capable of taking down an aircraft, but the DOJ under Ashcroft now thinks some guy in his garage is going to make missiles using hobby rocket motors and model airplane parts, so yes, getting the bigger motors is now much more difficult.
