You guys should also go check out Indy RC world in Garland. It's more of a grass roots old school hobby shop so it's not a polished as Mike's BUT they have an indoor nitro track. If they still run them there, the sprint cars are cool to go watch.
Where's it at? I'll go check it out tomorrow.

Costs $5 to attend a practice session there to where Mike's is free, but it's a lot closer to me. Gas money and time alone would be worth the 5 spot.
You know, if the fridge business doesn't work out I could put an indoor dirt track inside our shop.. A lot of room in there.

Last Mohican said:I hear ya but there is just something cool about nitro. You will never get the sound and smell of nitro with that electric car and I love that smell. Don't take me wrong. I'd love to have an e-revo. The after run on a nitro truck is kind of a PITA.blazeracer said:Last Mohican said:Sounds like you got a good deal James. You electric guys are funny. I am surprised there are no nitro guys in here bustin your balls.
On another note, I'll try to find where the NRCDA 10th scale drag guys are racing this summer (If they are still around). That is some crazy stuff right there. 0 to 80+ actual MPH in a scale 1/4 mile. In scale MPH that would be 800+ MPH. The electric guys kill on the 1/4 mile stuff. They can drain a battery in one pass.
I've always thought nitro was the way to go. I had a couple of nitro cars and a nitro plane in my day, but these electric cars now are just sick. This car I got will run over 60 with the brushless motor and LiPo battery, and do it for over 30 minutes!!
Crusader said:Okay guys. Jacob got his new Titan 12T 550 motor in the mail today. Before I install it, should I break it in by energizing it and dipping it into distiller water for 30 seconds first to break it in?
