Nice brother!!

i got a Losi High Roller and have already put a Mamba Sidewinder in it!

Needs to stop raining so I can get it on the track and in the yard!

Those Slayers are bad ass! I know nothing about Nitros though.

I broke in the slayer last night.. it was a lot of fun although it does need some aftermarket sway bars. Some of my glory was taking from me though being that a buddy of mine was breaking in his Jato at the same time. MY GOD THAT THING FLIES!!!

Those Jatos seem too fast to me. Especially the 3.3s. I could never control it. I've already the front pivot block on the High Roller. Several nasty crashes followed by a radio glitch inside leading into a smash into the wall!!

Had to order a couple of aluminum parts to keep that from happening again.

Lets see some vids of the Slayer!

It's easier to control then you'd think. Yes it is extremely fast but the steering isn't near as touchy as some of the trucks. But, having said that on Traxxas's scale of 1-5 on the difficulty level the Jato 3.3 is a 5!

I've had several crashes with my T-maxx, one leaving it undrivable .... but that's what bashing is all about. As soon as the T-maxx is up and running again I'm going to water proof the reciever and servos and really have some fun.


This was the t-maxx yesterday morning

now the motor is out, the rear section is off the chassis and i'm cleaning the mess out of it. Hopefully I can have it back together in a couple days.

I guess I should elavorate a little more ... About 3 years ago I took it to the beach to run it, the air filter fel off and the motor injested sand. After that I put it up and hadn't looked at it again till a week ago. In the pic, I took off the front bulk head, suspension and all totally apart to clean it real good. Haven't decided on what motor im going to run yet but i'm leaning toward a 3.3
