    Right! When I got rid of my cars and couldn't go 1/4 mile racing anymore I found out that there was a group of guys that did RC 1/4 mile racing 1/10th scale and really got back into it. It was run what ya brung type, but when I broke something it was easy to just drop it in the trunk and keep watching. I still have my RC-10 from 87' and when I switched from the old mechanical to an electronic speed control back then I was in a chrurch parking lot well once the battery dropped too low the Fets would stick on and you would loose steering I tried to chase it down but it went full blast straight into a curb. After that I kinda lost intrest, that was still back in the day of Nicads. I haven't messed with any of mine in a while but I have an RC-10L with carbon fiber chassis and used an 8 turn motor and 2S Lipo for drag racing. I used the rustler for a while but then got into top speed runs I was able to get it to 89mph with 2-2cell Lipos a Mamba Monster and a 7700Kv motor. I also have a Hot Bodies Lightning 10 buggy that I was converting to Brushless since they are sooo much faster than Nitro and a lot less mess. I use Airtronics radios I ended up going 2.4 since they have better range and don't have to worry about interference. I also bought one of the little micro Losi stadium trucks and with the Lipo it's pretty freaking fast. It was a lot of fun on trips and easy to pack.

    edit: forgot about the Eagle Tree data logger (150 amp) it is pretty cool I can measure up to 50V and 150 amps plus inputs for 3 temp sensors, rpm, and all kinds of stuff it records a lot and uploads to a laptop. I've measured peak currents of 178 amps on my rustler. It's hard to keep it down it wheelies with no issues even at speed.
