Well, 500 scale MPH anyway, it does run 28 real MPH with room to go faster (60 MPH is possible:shocked: , if I want to go with 11.1v Li-Po's)

Took this pic with my "new" cell phone, the pics are better than I though they would be, once I got smart enough to use the timer intead of trying to hold the phone steady AND push the button things have gotten better.

Jebus Cripes! I finally got around to programing the speed control and this thing acts like a friggin Fuel Altered! If its not pulling the front tires off the ground so violently it pulls the rear tires off the ground too, it's back end tries to take the lead from the front end..............this thing kicks arse!

Nice, especially for an electric. I have a nitro monster truck, pulls wheelies all day long in 4x4. My cousin picked up a jato 3.3 it screams, like you said, they try to get all 4 tires off the ground. Good stuff.

my buddy used to work for a hobby shop around here and he made an r/c crawler out of a stopsign, 2 powerwheel motors, and old brake line. he seriously got tiny little heim joints and small allthread and ran it through the brake line to make links. only r/c car i've ever seen that had double triangulated 4-link front and back. with the powerwheel motors this thing could crawl over anything. back wheels could be sitting on the ground and you could flex the front so hard the tire would sit on it's side.

Have you read the new issue of RC Car magazine, they did a bunch of speed run tests with some of their hotter test fleet cars. The clocked the 3.3 Jato running 0-60 in 4.5 seconds and the 3.3 Nitro 4-Tec making the run in 3.87 seconds and listed that a twin turbo Porsche would make the same run in 3.9 seconds (no I didn't mix up the times for the N4T and Porsche either!!)
My electric Stampede does the all 4 wheels in the air wheelies too, and that was with a well used, cheap 13 turn and on 6 cells through an old Super Rooster. I want to go the 540 size brushless from the people who make the system I've got in this Mini-T for my Pede and Electric 4-Tec (I'm thinking 4600-5700kv in the Pede and 7700kv in the E4T) now too:cool:

I haven't yet, Ill have to pick it up when I get back home. A friend has a non nitro 4-tec thats a blast too only on tar though, it sticks and will do 4wd cookies, its nuts. I tried out the 3.3 jato the stock tires are only good for tar, he got some talons now it will go offroad. Not all out though, it spins to much. He has managed to blow off 2 tires so far just from the power. Fun stuff, especially if you need an rc part, your not out hundreds like on these jeeps.

I just picked up some of those Anaconda road tires for the E-Rusty I recently bought and mounted them on another set of stock rims, between those and the N-Rusty Crowd Pleazer body people keep thinking it's a 3.3 Jato?! Nice looking Savage, what X Chassis parts do you have on it?

I have X SS TVP's, Nitro 2 body, A arms, battery box, shock towers, roll bar set, bumper/skid set, wheelie bar. They had the performance done right with the 4.6 SS, anything from the X is just making it easier to work on. Might throw in a new engine this spring, either another 4.6 or a nice os .30, but it screams as it is, dunno about more power.

I was showing the truck off to a customer tonight at the same store I was working at when I sprained my foot in the parking lot last August and had a slight problem. I spun out and hit a slight rise in the asphalt with the left rear wheel. After it came to a stop I went to drive it back and all it did was make a noise like the pinion came off. We walk over to fine the LR cv joint snapped in the impact as pulled the pivot ball out of the rear shock tower
