Default RC cars?

Anybody have a nitro RC car? I just got my first one traxxas jato. I love it, the thing hauls ass. 2 speed auto tranny, no reverse and a rotor brake, Limited slip differential.

Anyone wanna go hit up a parking lot and race?

Mine broke once.

I managed to be going ~40MPH and hit a patch of leaves and slide into a curb. I knew it was bad news when I saw sparks flying and my front driverside wheel kept rolling.

$8.00 axle. Maybe yours was a lemon.

Come to Gosnold Hope Park with us one night. Soko2000 has (or had) a savage, and THSpoq had his mini out one night.

The both of them have been through like 9,000 cars. Ive seen some crazy shit.
