Selling my traxxas slash due to I never use it any more. Not that I really ever used it at all. Bought new last year in March of 09. Ran it in a paved parking lot next to my house maybe 10 times with my brother which has a few nitro cars. Well of course I had not a chance in the world. So I go and buy a novak brushless system. Ran twice and we both went back to work and now no time to play. Over $400 invested. Comes with stock motor and esc along with extra parts and 2 1500 mAH batteries and a Venom 3300 7.2

Thanks Brandon

Deja Vue , all over again

I first got into RC cars back about 1995/96. Some of my first “serious” RC cars were a fiberglass chassis RC10L SS oval car and the original metal chassis, Associated RC10T. In those days, I didn’t know what I was doing, but, “I had me some fun.”
Since then , I’ve been in and out of RC racing a couple of times. Along the way I tried (in no particular order): F-1 /mini Coopers/TCS racing, 1/10th scale off-road buggy, 1/8th scale (both-off and on-road), 1/5th scale, 1/12th scale , 1/18th scale, 1/10th nitro, Vintage Trans Am, and many varieties of electric 4WD Touring Car.
Now I find myself working on a RC10L based oval 1S/Lipo “Nastruck” and a Short Course Truck. Seems like I’m back where I started. Maybe I still don’t really know what I’m doing. I do know that I’m back to; “having me some fun” again.

:wave: Hello, I go by Throttle. I stumbled across your site a few months back and been lurking and reading ever since. Looks like a great place and everyone seems to be very polite and helpful!!:thumbsup: So I decided it's time to write my first post. I'm 31 now and I've been in RC cars/trucks since I was 6 or 7, my dad bought me a Frog for my first car. Could never control the damn thing!! lol Good times! I recently found out that I'm gonna be a daddy to a boy, and I want to give him the pleasurers and fun my dad and RC cars gave me. So I have decided I would like to rebuild some of my old cars, basically static value, set them on a shelf, maybe bust them out every once in a blue moon. lol I have some newer cars and truck I can bash everyday. So here is the list I would like to rebuild: Associated RC10 (Gold chassis), Kyosho Double Dare (Have my original, needs some steering parts), Tamiya's Frog, HotShot, Bullhead, Lunch Box and Clod Buster. I also have a Losi JRX- Pro( Have everything but the body and wing). I also have Losi NXT, XXNT, XXX-T and a XXX-S Touring Sedan.

Thanks, Throttle

Hi All,
Been lurking and reading before making a post. Great forum with lots of info and helpful people from what I can see.

I have been in and out of R/C for over 25 years. Once I got my first Jac-Rabbit "used" that is all I have played with. I sold off my perfect condition Jac-Rabbit years ago and kept a beater I got in pretty rough condition for really cheap money. The engine was in bad shape when I got it. Guy ran it with no air filter in the sand.....

Anyway, after quite a few years of it hanging from the ceiling in my garage, I took it down to do some work on it and get it working again.
The reason................. My new girlfriend has a young son that wants to get into R/C. I am going to start him with a Traxxas Stampede, but I need something to play with too. :)
