I bet my Rustler was faster

45mph with a 1/5th scale is plenty fast and fun. They are big enough that you can fly over most terrain.

1/8th scale is the sweet spot. Big enough to handle everything, small enough that the power to weight is insane, and more durable than anything else out there.

1/10th scale and below increase the power to weight, but they are small, hard to handle, terrain can be upsetting, and start getting fragile.

Road cars get so boring so fast regardless of the size.

Road cars get so boring so fast regardless of the size.

Thats where the larger size is definitely better. My 1/7th scale is damned fun. Its basically a 1/8th scale that's been stretched. Super fun because it can handle any parking lot surface no problem, and its fast as fuck. 0-100 is around 4-5 seconds. 0-60 is under 2.5.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Nah still boring. I’ve played with big road cars.

I noticed that too.


That mofo

 

[pbdevastator]

Yes sir

Nice! Yep I recognize that desk. I go there all the time to get parts when I break my emaxx. Last time was when it completely split in half on a rough landing.

I am saddened that LH's track facility got shut down. Was probably one of the premier tracks in the mid-west.

Yooooo

FS: Traxxas Slash 2WD

I have two Traxxas Slash 2WD trucks. One is in great shape, Raptor body, and the other is more of a beater parts truck. Both could easily be runners though. Batteries are not included as they died and I disposed of them. 4 Chargers, two regular and 2 fast included More Photos...

Well this is all sorts of neat.

Man builds 1/6th scale 4 cal nitro car.

 

[cdh027]

Cool as all hell, yet will get smoked by a traxxas ready to run that has reverse.

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

Those types of things are never very fast. Too much complexity and weight for the power output. But it sounds cool.

However, imagine when 3D Metal deposition printers start coming down in price to the point where you could design, and print an aluminum engine block, crank, etc.

The maintenance is annoying. The sound is awesome.
