i got a radioshack mailer that had soem stuff that adverted a vehicle that went 1800 ft / min ...

cant think of the ratios to get to the mph, but it sounds fast

I have a Nitro Traxxas S-Maxx. Its wicked fast!!!! Bossman has a Nitro T-Maxx and another buddy of mine has a T-Maxx. The only difference is the S-Maxx is only 2wd and has no reverse... but you know what? That makes it LIGHTER!!! I have a hella hard time not popping wheelies with mine. I've gone through a few bodies. :rock

 

[matt0114]

what would a good setup for a beginner be? all i know is its nitro rc 1/10? scale trucks, on outdoor offroad coarse
and what is approximate cost?

I hear for all out racing with a Maxx truck, the S-maxx is what you want. Because of teh weight to power ratio. A new one is around $350 I beleive.... don't quote me though. I would look on ebay for a good used one....

On another note!! I JUST GOT MY 3.6HP .28 NITRO BIG BLOCK IN TODAY!!!!!

I can't friggin wait to get this thing in the truck to see how much more shit I can break!!! YES!!! :rock
