I know how you feel. I saw the Platinum Revo and I fell in love. Too bad I didn't have the money for it.

DO NOT RESIST THE CALL

lol :jk:

I know how you feel man... every time I go to my LHS they've got a Baja sitting out on the counter. It's impossible not to just stand there and work the suspension, pull the starter, etc.

If only... lol

 

[Nitro RC Basher]

at least others feel my pain...

and yeah. i was looking at it. not pulling the starter but working the suspension. and its heavy as f***

Just wait until you see the way the 26 CC throws the SS around like it's a feather, and then imagine a fully ported and polished 30.5 CC race motor. ahhhh large scale heaven. I have a 28.5 CC head kit here in the hobby room for my SS, but it already has trouble getting traction, so I haven't put it in yet. The badlands did help with traction some, but I will soon have a set of Hostile Hobbies. The nitro stuff just can't compare with large scale, I REALLY hope that you'll be able to get one soon Nitro RC Basher.

I'm telling you right now......and this is a promise.....as soon as i get the money I'm getting a baja

I've got an RTR and am saving to get an SS kit. My RTR has enough power to melt the rear tires if I'm not careful. I can only imagine what the 28cc motor does.

 

[CharliesTheMan]

Well the SS has a 26cc motor, but you're right, it's amazing. I actually was about to order a 28.5 cc head kit for mine, and then I drove it and saw that I first needed to work on getting better traction and handling before I needed more power, it's already got way more than you can use. BUT, now that I've been working on the suspension a good bit and I've got some decent tires, I'm thinking 30.5 cc fully ported and polished with race fuel =devil A friend of mine here in town that has a mchine shop is running that exact setup and it's unreal to watch that thing in action. I've been learning to tune mine and I must say it woke it up quite a bit.

You won't be dissapointed : ) Me and a buddy bought our RTR's (it's here on the site somewhere) and we've loved them to death! I got rid of all my nitro (save one car) a few weeks afterwards. Mine is mostly stock- he took his to a 3x.x stuffed crank super motor thing (4xx for the motor he says ). Great cars stock or otherwise. I love the RTR so much I finished an SS not too terribly long ago- after some thought put that RTR up for sale (only due to the size and running out of room to keep it in )
