I got the Rtr's cause my mate hates building them

Also the only one avaiable is the 4.6 SS which costs more and has no radio or any of the funky bits the special edition has .
I could have robbed some radio gear from another car but it was just easier to get the rtr's

First thing i fitted when i got home was a failsafe and 5 cell hump pack

Got 1/2 a tank through it but its just to dam noisy leaving it on the stand out in the garden .

Will try and get the two static runs done tomorrow .

Hump pack is 6.4v so more power .. Most people use 4x aa nimh which = 4.8v
I will change to a high torque metal geared servo eventually but will try the original first .

Non rechargable = 1.5 v
Nimh = 1.2 v
I think most people use recharables in there cars as its not cost effective to use duracells all the time ...so the hump pack will bring you back to the performace you would get from normal batteries compared to nimh .

Not decided yet .
There are some fields and stuff close by we used to use when ******* about with my 1/8th buggy and 1/10th truck but may look for some more chalenging places to go .

my son mentioned there is somewhere where a lot of the local rc guys hang out so may go along and have a look at that .
Might go down and watch one of the max bashing type things but dunno if i would put my truck into it ...will see how i get on with it .
