Just wonderig how many of you guys/girls (are there any girls here?  ) are into R/C Racing, or offroading or anything. And if you are what car/truck/plane/heli you got.
I just bought a HPI Savage 25 RTR in the summer and i'm loving it although i destroyed the engine casing, the crankshaft and the carb with 1 stupid high speed flip  But its all been replaced.
If anyone dont know about the Savage 25 its a 1/8th scale monster truck goes 60mph if i remember right.
4 wheel drive independant suspension  heres some engine specs
Nitro Star S-25
Size .25
Horsepower@ RPM 2.5 @ 29,000
Max RPM 38,000
chk out the site
http://www.hpiracing.com/kits/savage25/savage25-m.htm
only downside here in toronto we DONT HAVE ANY off road tracks for these trucks

Never got into it, but it's pretty cool. I've looked at it a couple of times, but not sure which way I wanted to go.  And I ended up spending the money on beer.  |

Yeah right try not to break anything.... have you ever taken yours to a track and run in a race? You get out there with a dozen others cars/trucks all trying to win and I promise you something is going to get broken. In fact you will be happy when it is only one or two things. |
