My latest r/c is a Traxxas Rally 1/16 scale. Waiting for the hard rain stop and run it at the park parking lot.

these days, the IN shop is norcal hobbies in UC. they host a couple major events and have off road and on road tracks.

call them up and ask for help for your nitro.

that's why i got rid of mine. i hated the smell. hated buying glo plugs. hated that i could keep the friggin things tuned.

my 1/5 scale GAS truck runs no matter what...

my electrics... well i just have to get them charged.

If anyone has a electric RC drift car for sale let me know. I have a Traxxas rustler VXL for the dirt but I want a drift car. I was looking at an HPI Sprint 2. What do you guys think?
