That's right. Went right over to an HPI Racing dealer and picked this bad bitch up with a 2 year warranty. I picked the blue one.

Nice! Damn things come with warranties now! I bought the first t-maxi when it came out. It was a blast.....when it ran! Lol it hauled butt when I put that .16 motor on it lol old times
 
Sweet man! I am almost 28 years old and I still love those things. I bought a nitro Traxxas T-max brand new from Larrys performance R.C about a year and a half ago, only problem is I broke it in like 6 pieces after only about 6 months. About 600 bucks down the toilet, it was fun while it lasted tho. I knew it would eventually happen. GL
 
Here was mine i sold it last year

They are a blast. I went to brushless electric now. The gas was a pain in the ass to keep running. I think the brushless one I have is faster than the gas one.

I was thinking about going Brushless, Gas is just a pain, I like to get in and go sorta speak. What setup do you have and how long do the batteries last?

This is exactly why I switched aswell. I enjoy the just plugging in a battery and going. I have an SC10 with a novak 13.5 brushless setup, with a 4000mah, 45c lipo I can get about 30-45minutes of runtime on one charge. Also the new 2.4ghz radios help as well with less interference.

wow, back when i was running electric cars i would get 5mins if that... that was along time ago though like 15years ago
 
Gas or nitro?
Gas cars are fun and rarely have to be tuned
Nitro should be tuned each days it's used
Only takes a minute
 
My Nitro Rustler lost compression, motor needs to be rebuilt, plus the starter motor is junk now. So I went to the Hobby shop to pick up or order a rebuild kit or maybe a new motor, and I ended up with the savage X. I wanted Brushless, but they're pretty expensive. I can't afford those battery packs. Plus I just like the rumble of a big block Nitro motor.

I'm not really that into it enough to go "grudge racing" with RC cars. I'm still breaking in this truck, so it's stock, and prolly too slow for whatever you seem have.
But Larry may have something to race you in....

That's pretty bad ass looking. But does it move out? A friend of mine got a Bib Block Jato on some spray, fucker only goes about 75mph.

How fast are the Brushless motor setups and what does it cost to get into a decent setup?
