I did take my R34 to one of the meets last year. It is a good surface for them. :)

Would be good to get a few of them buzzing about in the car park one evening :D:D

Maybe Jake and I could actually run them both for a while without hitting anything :wink: :wink:

got 2 and neither work. I've actually been working on them over the weekend.

Got a Hpi Savage with the hotbodies twin engine conversion kit.

Also a Shumacher Menace which has the stock Hpi S-25 from the savage bodged in it.

Neither work though, on the savage i can only get one of the engines going, i have had to upgrade loads other parts for it to take the extra power. I can only get one of the engines going and that's a mission on it's own.

the Shumacher has the engine bodged in, now that would work to a cetain degree but.... i've come to the conclusion that the piston or sleeve has gone in the engine as it's got very low compression, i realised that cos i don't get any fuel through the system.

found a .28 conversion kit last night for my Menace, the engine is the same brand as the original so it's going to be reliable.

might order today awaiting the guy to get back to me on a few random questions i had.

Interesting as i keep debating buying one of these 26cc trucks http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CallFuncti ... 1030[/img]

But this could be another Savage big twin disaster i see something which looks cool have to have it, buy it and then it's pants. big twin omg what a mess only one engine works.

What do you think of the big foot there? would it be super duper fast? and have lots of grunt? i got annoyed when my savage got stuck in long grass no wheel spin just not enough torgue.

Hmm nice looking truck in that link but way to heay IMO.
Ive gone through a fair few RC's and keep going back to trucks and buggys due to the fact you can run them almost anywhere. Currently have all traxxas products from a electric rustler with light mods running circa 40mph. Traxxas jato which is very fast for a stock truck only mod is wheels and tyres.
Also have a REVO 2.5 which has been extensivly modified, mainly set up now more like a buggy than a truck but wicked fun none the less. Speeds im not certain of but around 45-50mph and hard to keep the front wheels on the deck. Maybe bring her along to a meet once ive got the new engine run in.
For those that have posted pix very nice rides there.
Heres a pic of my revo but she has had a few mods since this pic was taken, now running an RB323 and has proline 40 series fitted 8) Image
