    Welcome to the insane world of point and shoot driving! Those thing are like missles! Do you plan on racing or bashing? And make sure your charger is compatible with 3 cell's before you use it.

    A friend of mine has an actual track on his farm towards GLD. They all have SC10's tho, would be cool to see something else out there.
    All posts from the above author are expected to be 100% BS. Thank you and have a nice day.

    Thanks everyone.

    My replacement charger will be here tomorrow, im sick of only having 1 battery. cant wait to try out the 3s lipo, after that i am just going to get some 2s lipo's, which will still be great!

    And i do not want to go out and buy another NiMah battery right now.

    Stay tuned for more upgrades. LOL, i plan on getting some Traxxas front and rear alum steering parts, and also some ProLine Split Six wheels and Proline Trencher tires. I hear the trenchers rock for all around bashing.

    Having a waterproof electric is kind of nice. i bring it inside, covered in snow, throw it in the shower, hose it off, and let it dry.

    Don't forget to add some oil to the bearings to prevent rust. I was replacing mine regularly until I said no more water. If you ever upgrade the electronics I love my mamba max pro with novak 5.5 550 ballistic motor. It just screams and also maintains cooler temps.

    It's a heavier truck. The main reason I got it was the cooler operating temp. That and It was much bigger then my friends But then my little brother got a 4.5 for his. Now that is way to much for the track but just enough that he can chase gophers no problem

    Well....

    We stumbled upon a hobby shop today with LOADS of traxxas slash 4x4 parts. Its the Hobby Town USA that shares the parking lot with Culvers on Hway 100 and Greenfield. All traxxas alum parts, and ALL RPM parts in stock, also MIP and tekno parts... This place is going to get me in trouble!

    The guy there, i beleive his name was Tony? Older gentlemen very nice, and is not afraid to share information if you ask a question/opinion.

    This will deff be my new place of business instead of the Hobby Town in Delafield where they have NOTHING in stock!

    This is what i came home with:















    RPM Front and rear bumpers... Which kick ***!

    My roomie has a fully RPM built Brushless converted rustler. he picked up some RPM wheels and some new Pro-line tires:





    And a successful night of bashing!







    Like always... Stay tuned for more!

    You should try the local track! 124th just south of capital.

    I didn't even know there was a hobby town there. Is it new?

    Also line the inside of the body to prevent it from breaking or cracking. Everytime you land from any large air the tires rub on the inside and wear the paint away. I used shoe goo.

    it's been there for awhile. lots of cool stuff. I have my old Losi LX-T sitting in my room just needing electronics. not 4wd, but still fun to mess around with in the snow.

    My office is 132nd and Hampton area, so I keep getting the bug to stop into Trackside, but am afraid of buying stuff, haha

    Did Hobby Town have used R/C stuff for sale? I remember ABC Hobbies in Waukesha always have stuff for sale. Don't know if they are around anymore after moving into downtown waukesha from next to Fletchers. I remember that small offroad track in the back.
