still, i broke parts but you really bust stuff up good. id keep a body in one piece for a month or so easy before it cracked. and it would be flipped all the time, do the 30 foot roof slides lol
i know all to well about the high center of gravity on some of these cars first hand.
Did I mention it was only 30* outside, I am sure that had a lot to do with it, the body on the 1/10 Ruckus only has cracks in the back from dragging the ground doing wheelies.Quote:

1 axle on the 1/18 Ruckus, not sure what happened there, I've seen people bashing them harder than that, and as far as I know no one else has had that issue.
Stripped 3 diffs on the 1/18 Ruckus, they are the known weak point, other than the shock caps, the gears are made of butter soft plastic, a guy modded some mini quake diff gears to fit and so far have held through 15 3S packs, so I ordered some gears for that.
1 Axle, 1 A Arm and rounded out one hex on the 1/10 Ruckus - axles get destroyed all the time in these things. Who keeps stock front A Arms on their RC's anyway?
1 Caster Block on the Stampede - again known for breaking.
1 Rear wing on the Merv, they break all the time and are easy to replace.
mine being nitro, loved the cold air, much like a supercharger lol in the snow was the best.
Dam chinese crap:p
The rear wings are notorious for breaking, a new one is like $7.Quote:

Anyone see the supercharged nitro cars ?
yes crazy

they also have nitrous
ive heard the sc does nothing.
It works, but it not like OMMFG! I guess like going from a 3.8 to maybe a 3.6 pulley. Nothing spectacular but it does gain some speed and eat a little bit more fuel. Worth it to me for the price no, only for bragging rights that I would have a supercharged rc car.
gayyyyyyyyyy........but you're the expert
meh its a 50/50 debate, always is
I heard it wastes fuel, is a pain to tune, and can blow up the engine.Quote:

My nephew wanted to drive the P2ede today, so I turned the forward power down to 50% and let him take it for a spin, this was the end result. :( Probably should have went down to 30%. He ran it full throttle right into the front of the Merv. Bent one of my new turnbuckles and now it doesn't steer for ****.

Thats the reason NOBODY touches ANY of my ****...... EVER, period, never for any reason. Mine for a reason
I think I'm gonna stick to letting him use the 1/10 Ruckus, it only goes like 15mph now lol.Quote:
