well my newest toy should be here in the next day or 2, hopefully next day. lol
and it needs radio gear so i finally made the splurge and got a spektrum setup. so until my new addition gets here, this is all you get

its gonna be a long shot but some type of scaler or crawler?

Hmm I wonder? I've got a DX2.0 and I love it, used it in the MERV before I traded it now it waits for the D8 to get a starter box! You'll like the DX3.0, its very easy to work with since its basically an upgraded DX2.0 and feels nice in your hand even after a long day outside

I like the quality and ease of use of the spectrums. I have the dx2.0 dx3.0 and dx3r. The Only problem I run into is that the range does not quite seem to be what they say it is. I only noticed this on the big cars though and that's probably because due to their size you can run them alot farther away. They have a very nice failsafe system built in which you should set up before anything else. Nicest part is for another 50 bucks you just snag another receiver and you have another car set up and ready to roll. I think the 2 and 3 have 2 model memory. The 3r has 15 which is why I went with it, that and it only takes 4 batteries so it's very light. Hope you enjoy the new ride

Do the new ones come with a zenoah engine and hpi diff and shocks?

TheB1GDude · #11 06-24-2010, 11:20 AM

Awesome dude! Glad it finally arrived those 3 days took way to long to pass

It sure is an amazing RC vehicle the size of it is just insane!

Can't wait to see some video footage of it.

I don't research big scale sir.

Stampedekid · #14 06-24-2010, 01:33 PM

Very nice Zippo. I was looking at the KSRC002 myself but never followed through, instead went 1/8 scale

I've heard the clones run great but FFRC diff bearings don't fit because the diffs are slightly different from the 5B/5T but congrats on it! There was whole thread showing the differences on another forum if you want I'll PM it to you, just so you know what doesn't fit, if I can find it.

lol. i thought about it, but was too lazy to walk over and see if there was water in it.

well gotta take her out again today. and made me realize, there's 2 moments you look forward to with an rc, first time you run it. and first time you break it

here's what broke

vids loading, ill get them up sometime today. and i pick up my new body and wing later today

Multi-Tasking almost never leads to anything good. Smoking, Driving, Stripping Spurs...

mycrors4 · #19 07-01-2010, 03:21 AM
