Have fun with those! I had a big block in my old buggy that was insane to control that power. You quickly learn throttle control and that its a no no to hit WOT from a stand still.

Smokers refer to the Nitro version versus the electric.

I know what the fuck 'smokers' means, I was asking why???

Best reason is not having to recharge batteries.

Haha only because the smoker couldnt get traction from the power.
A revo with a big block is INSANE!

As long as you have batteries. I have a brushless as well and they do beat the ass out of any Nitro version, but having to buy enough batteries to keep going and the recharge PITA has its downsides.

You talk like someone who owns the 'bitch' models in the Traxxas lineup...:fag:

If you have half a fucking brain and a wallet, charging LiPoROIDS is pretty fucking simple.

I have plenty of LiPo's bro. I have a charger that charges at 20 amps as well. When I pop out a set and replace them, I hook my charger up to my truck battery and recharge while I'm still driving.

It is a fact, nitros can't hang with Brushless Electric.

In fact, I'd say nitros are sort of the pussy models...:rofl:

so today it wasnt raining so me and my brother go out for a lil bit of bashing. we got everything we need . tools, nitro, parts" just in case" controllers, and batts. we get to the park we have been going to since dec 22, 09. today was like any other day. just goofing around the dirt jump. we go down the path and drive over where we have been jumping old tree stumps. i take the jump and landed it and went a bit aways for a 2nd jump be for i could make it half way the car dies. i was like " dam ran out of fuel!' i walk over and the dam thing had half a tank left. so im try to get it started no luck.

i walked my all the way back to the bench and looked at the car. "hmmm wtf happened?" i tryed starting it. yay it started right up but the motor have no power. a hamster had more balls than this. we pack our shit and went home.

i looked to see if i cracked a drive shaft or if something got stuck. nope.

so the car sat for a bit and had cooled off. so it start the car back up. sweet! it was alive but when i gave it gas it didnt move. soo my dumbass just guns the gas. " thinking, owell if i break something then i do" POP!!!!! " HOLY SHIT WTF WAS THAT! the motor just locked up. "DAM"! i take the motor apart and i find this

if you dont know what that it. it the connecting rod that is connected to the piston and crank. yes i split that in half. not only did i crack that bitch in half i chipped a small portion in the piston skirt.

i still had an old trx3.3 still so i gutted that 3.3 so i could drive until my os motor comes in. owell that was my day but its all good now. i still have my OS tm21 motor comeing in. YAY!!

i added a new revo to the family aswell. its goin to be the track car only. here a couple of other pix

AMD, let me ask you a couple of questions...

Do you know who the FUCK I am ???

Do you know that Synxxx is one of my mods and we are just busting each others balls ???

Just shut the fuck up and enjoy the fact this forum is here for you to use for free, enjoy the ride and figure out how we roll here before you start telling people what to do...:)

if you are what you eat, then you must look like this little gem of an emoticon...:bj3:

Odyssey Hobby is a joke for RC cars/trucks. He carries no parts.

Now I'll be the one to say 'settle down' and let's move on...

I could get the truck and radio for about 550. Its the battery's and chargers that cost a bit more.
