I had a little bit of an awaking today. I already own five RC trucks and a couple of quadcopter. I have one nitro and everything else is electric. I am putting a new motor in the nitro (as usual) . Not a new motor per se but I understand the people asking me when I bought my first nitro why I wanted it. It is my first and will be my last I love the electric stuff. The Awakening I'm talking about is I thought I had some pretty fast vehicles but today I got a Arma typhoon 3s. After reading some reviews and things online I thought about just taking the thing back and adding the money for the six. I'm glad I didn't I went ahead and decided to give it a run at 25%. I then switched to 75 and I was pretty impressed but at 100%... This thing is uncontrollable. I was thinking about swapping the pinion gear but honestly much respect to you people that can run a car any faster than this. I've played around with RC stuff for the last 10 years but to me this is as fast as you need to go. Now I have a piece of property four acres so I have plenty of open space to run it but other than on asphalt in a straight line I don't know how you could really use everything this has to offer. Maybe I'll be made fun of but fast is fast and it's hard to deny that. I think everybody getting into the hobby wants something to go 50 or 70 miles an hour but they really have no clue what that means. Anyway it's nice to be here and I would love to hear any thoughts or comments.
