Interesting that Losi does not make the 1/10 car anymore. That was the hottest item in 1987 till 1991. I use to buy the chassis kit (car and truck were almost the same) and build it it a lot of time and precision in it. I woudl then go and race it and sell it to the one who offered me the most money. (Except for the laxan body, I had a custom paint job on it) It always help to build one and the sell it at the track for more than I paid for it. People then use to love buying the first place winner cars and trucks.

if you are looking to get back in the hobby, the revo cannot be beaten :) they make an E-Revo too :) When the wheather turns a bit chilly, too cold to run nitro, im going to get one.. electric has come soo far. the amount of torque they make is insane, really insane :) Well, I made another addition to my revo, I threw on the single chamber resonator, it runs cooler, and gives a wicked shot of low to mid torque, while the upperend stays about the same, and it runs a touch cooler too :)

You are right about the torque this thing has, had to get the wheelie bars on it so it wouldn't flip over when I squeeze the throttle

Ooh!! I've got one of these....

...never really use it "in earnest", though. Occasionally it comes out for a blast when I have friends round but, mainly, it now sits on the shelf in the computer room, looking pretty!

Shame, really, the thing sure moves!

I am still considering the Losi truck. Maybe later this year when I see what the $$$ look like. I am not sure what I will do with it though.

I should buy somethign cheaper and buy three of them, 1 for me and 2 for the boys.

This may be a dumb question, but do you take yours out in the snow at all?

I am a fair-weather person when I run mine and don't even take it out when it is even a little wet.

The last time I took mine out I took it to this big fenced in tennis court and watched my Shelty try to catch it :rofl:

yup i do drive it out in the winter :)

not in the snow, like peoples front yards, tho there are people that do get em pretty deep.. i stick to the streets (white asphalt atm) but my revo has been out driveing in -30c temps :) i dont drive it as much now that its winter tho, its almost no fun.. the tires just spin up to around 20-25moh, then itll shift into second, and it just whips itself around heheh. theres wayyy too much power for the weight its gotta move heheh. its about 8 or 9lbs as it sits. i did put the drilled out stock pipe back on, that carbon pipe doesnt work too well with my 21tm, but with my 3.3 it rips pretty good with it. sorry it took so long to get back to you, the last time i was here i thought i left a reply!
