Yep.... If it wasn't for my new sponsor wanting to come out with a new car for next year... I wouldn't have got back into it after I sold all my cars last year.

What make it high dollar isn't the car it's the electronics and having to have a laptop to set the timing and etc. No more little screwdriver from Novak. LOL!!

I never spent anything NEAR that!!! I paid $400 for my 4x4 Slash Platinum, out of the box with 3s LiPo batts ($100) it does about 50mph and I never have to tune it and to this day I have pics of it about 20 ft in the air on BMX jumps and yet to break ANY parts. My Rustler on the other hand was a lot of snap crackel and pop (its now getting a new brushless capable of 90+ mph) :wow:

Difference between mine and yours.... Well yours is a basher and mine is a race car. Congrats on the new bl motor. When you want to go faster come see me.... :thumbs:

But you might not handle the power going in a straightline

No, Im wondering too, cause mine now doing 70 in a stadium truck can catch air at top speed and end over. I wonder too if a bigger motor will only make things worse. I also wonder if my truck can do that, what can a road car do???

So seriously if you have faster I would love to see it before I start on a road monster.

What motor and lipo are you running?? Also mine isn't a road car. Its a drag car "only" which doesn't turn that much compared to a road car. LOL!!

If you need any help let me know bro! :thumbs:
