The RTR I got had alot of the upgrades. Nitroghost got the ss. Not much difference in top end performance. His take off is a little bit better but not much. Stock radio works fine.
Seriously Rolex, nice ride! But how do you fight off the demon (run/don't run). I really don't think I could take it. Not get it muddy mind you but just up and down the drive way a couple times....... :smoke:

Well, it was a good try but rcsuperstore has the baja 5b kits on back order too. We (myself and nitroghost) ordered 2 last night and all was good. Got a call this morning from them to say that they don't have them. Doesn't say anything about on back order on their web site. You guys reckon the...
