I have the Tactics 2.4Ghz (use it for my non-racing rc's for which I have the 3PK). I haven't had any issues with range and the features, while limited, cover most of the bases (throttle/steering trim, steering rate. No EPA). I mention range because the receivers have no external antenna wire...

I missed the first ECT round but will be hitting all the others. I've been looking at the SC10 or Blitz myself but I still love my 2 Slash's. Right now I'm leaning towards the Blitz but time will tell. Z, do you know offhand if the Stock SCT required the rtr tires or could you use pro-line...

It's a nice body but doesn't appeal to me. I *like* the SCT look. Another thing to consider if you race is that the body isn't ROAR legal (doesn't cover the wheels when viewed from above).

I picked up the Truggy & Buggy tire bags w/cans as well as embroidered "amoeba" on it. Extremely well-crafted and worth the money. I'm thinking of picking up the car bags as well. If you want a nice convenient way to organize & carry around multiple tire sets this is definitely a product I'd...

I've been training in Silat Escrima (stick/knife/sword fighting) for 14 years and have several Spyderco practice/training blades that have seen much abuse from students. The Endura model is extremely sturdy and very high quality. The P'kal is another favorite Spyderco of mine, though not a...

Yeah, ferrets need playmates as they are very social. Ever since his brother died from liver failure, Sparky hasn't been as mischievous or playful and has been losing muscle mass. I think I need to pick him up a couple of playmates. 2 ferrets is good, 3 is even better :) As for Marshall's...

That's great to hear that you'll be getting Molly back Alpine and you're lucky she's okay after that long outdoors. What a lot of people don't know is that ferrets have historically been pets longer than even cats and are so domesticated that they can't survive on their own in the wild very well...

The parts availability is temporary and only for those parts which were updated between the RC8 and the RC8B (towers, battery box, etc) while everyone and their brother upgrades their RC8 to the B. Everything else is identical and parts are plentiful. The RC8 is a good choice. It's not the...

Bigger does not always equal faster. Usually it just changes the total amount of torque along the RPM range. The best way to increase speed is to change your gearing setup. However, a too-aggressive gearing can put more stress on your engine... with a larger engine you (usually) have better...

As always, check with your LHS to see what parts they carry and what kind of support you'll get in your area. Of the RTR's, the Losi is an awesome deal and great car if you are just starting out and don't have a starter box, ignitor, etc etc... but if you already have all that stuff, the RC8B is...

Unless your house is made of metal (or has metal framework) or it's the size of a small state, you're most likely getting interference or weak signal from interference. Try changing your router wireless channel from the default (usually 6) to 1 or 11. This should go some way towards fixing...

Yeah Scrogg, 'fess up. :) I'm running a set of JR8711's on the buggy and truggy for steering and a Futaba BLS451 throttle for truggy, JR9100s for buggy. Sweet sweet smooth digital action.

Told ya you wouldn't be disappointed Scrogg :) I had the 3PM and it was a great radio. I've since upgraded to the 3PK which is a great radio x3. The only major differences between the PM and PK are the PK has more advanced options for expert setups, a higher model memory, and getting to the...

Unless he *really* knows what he is doing, messing with the mid-speed needle is almost always a recipe for disaster. It's called a mid-speed needle but really is a fuel-metering needle and has nothing to do with speed like LSN/HSN. Monkeying with it will affect overall fuel flow and is a bad...

AFAIK, there is no rotostart available for the V-Spec. The conrod & shaft don't have a notch to put in a roto or pullstart pin. These are bump-only engines.

Was this the kit or pre-built RTR? Take out your front diff and spin the outdrives in opposite directions. Does it feel too tight/binding here? If so, open up the diff and check your shims and planetary gear seating. If not here then put the diff back in and check your mesh from the universal...

It's easier to keep clean but way more maintenance than freshwater. You'll need to check your pH every day, especially if you have fish other than Yellow Tangs or puffers (which are tough little bastards). Most saltwater fish are much more fragile to variations in temp/pH/etc than freshwater...

I drank too much caffeine today is why. :) I assumed his budget is around $300 since that's what the Exceed's go for... If your budget is higher or if you are also looking into racing and not just bashing all of us can make better recommendations and provide better feedback.

It depends on what your definition of "good" is. If this is for bashing and you're looking to fit a small budget then yeah, it's not too shabby. I have the 1st gen Redcat Monsoon which is identical to the Exceed and, foir the price, it's actually very good. However, be aware that you may have...

I prefer: Puritanism - The fear that someone, somewhere, is having fun and must be stopped.
