The slash 4x4 was a much stronger platform for doing stupid stuff, handles 4s+ with no issue and the 4wd allows you to actually get some power to the ground. When i first got the slash 4x4 i jumped it over a buddy's garage. Of course he only recorded the warmup attempt and missed me clearing it. Another buddy with a brushless revo put it though his window trying the same jump lol.

well.... speaking of shattered gears OLR.... LOL played with the nitro evader at work on break, and hit a stack of pallets at realtively low speed.... like sliding stop maybe 5mph hit... no problem right?......wrong.... i never had all the motor mount bolts installed, and it shifted the motor just enough to hear that dreaded scccccrrrreeeeEEEEEACCCCHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhh of the spur gettin the knockput punch and a mouth full of missing teeth from the SH .18 and pinion...
oh well... i just ordered a pair of Kimbrough 60t spurs....LOL and now i need to dig thru the parts box for a few extra motor mount screws... |

If anybody is looking into getting into this hobby on a budget Check out NirtoRCX. I've never bought any of their products personally but had a few guys in our club that have bought both nitro and electric cars and boats. They're just as reliable as the name brand if not more reliable. https://www.nitrorcx.com/
The owner of the campground we use to go too had a full blown course setup and a pond for the boats. We had races every weekend weather permitting. Once the owner sold the campground and new owners took over the course went down hill. It didn't take long for us to pull our camper out.

i was actually looking at the blower this afternoon... not sure i can make it work due to the way the coil is mounted and the amount of space it takes up due to the coil mounting... its like 9" wide the way they mounted it, and it needs to fit between 5" rails...i may be able to come up with something, but as for now i think its going to be on the back burner...

ihave done the electric route with cars for years... i dont run them enough to justify the batteries... i have 3 3s 5000 packs that have been meticulously maintained, and only have about 40 cycles on them, but 3 of them have bad cells... i also dont have the funds for a 200+amp high voltage esc to run this thing... i will figure out something gas for it, or put the fs110 back in it and run it... it needs to get gel coated this winter though, thats the last thing it needs, i never got to it before i ran it... LOL
