driver mod.....lol

With those long travel rockers it has a really high center of gravity.

[Scottydoggs]

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.
I haven't really broke too much stuff though.
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

Dam chinese crap

The rear wings are notorious for breaking, a new one is like $7.

[CrazyGuy03]

That sucks dude....


i keep wanting to get one but then things keep coming up.

Anyone see the supercharged nitro cars ?

[ItHurtz]

yes crazy

they also have nitrous

[Scottydoggs]

ive heard the sc does nothing.

[Slick2500]

ive heard the sc does nothing.

I heard it wastes fuel, is a pain to tune, and can blow up the engine.

[ItHurtz]

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.

[Scottydoggs]

gayyyyyyyyyy........but you're the expert

[ItHurtz]

meh its a 50/50 debate, always is

I actually watched that entire race like a month ago, was pretty good.

This would be fun.

[Slick2500]

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 ****.

[ItHurtz]

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.
