This is gonna be my first RC in a long time, and the Emaxx is a little spendy.. So If I get something a little cheaper just to see if Im into it, and actually do like it, Ill probably get that or the 1/8 Revo How much are the new e-maxx'es? I've been out of the hobby for a few years. But yea I get ya on the getting your feet wet again, it can get expensive fast when your starting out. $675

i think the slashes look ugly as hell. I love the way the revo hugged the road at higher speeds. And it's small yes, but it tears through grass, puddles, mud, dirt like its big brother. Was worth every penny tbh. Yea the looks on the slash were meh.. I think the revo out the door at Hobbytown is 291 for the car, then whatever else I need.. maybe a few gears, a bumper, wheelie bars, and of course another 7.2.. so $400 ?? I can think of alot more useless ways to blow $400 get the other spur gear for sure. Don't really need the wheelie bar, people make their own xD. All you'll need is the truck, the spur gear (forget what tooth count), extra battery and the Y harness. And some balls to drive it Might I add, though its small, take a curb at an angle and it'll hop em no problem hehe. Take em fast and do some barrelrolls xD You seem a bit biased.... But im still listening;)

The new brushless motors are insane.. The Mamba monster Motor/speed control is a pretty sick upgrade.. And from what I understand , these new Brushless motors have better all around performance than a nitro, plus obviously alot cheaper , and waterproof

So this is just a 1/16 scale, for messing around.. If I wanted one to lauch and be a little more planted, would that be the Slash?

series or parrallel?/ I just saw a Y-adapter for both batts.. Didnt see what one it was.. Actually ONLY saw one

lol.. yup

Theres Just so many options out there its hard to pick.. Low body, Hi clearance, 4x4 , 2x4 etc .. The Revo 1/16 is on the top of the list for sure.. and have heard good about the slash brushless as well.. I dont even know if I would need 4x4, but in the dirt would be a bit more fun and quick

No nitro... Its just not practical for me.. And the new brushless setups are pretty insane.. 65+ with a ton of low end with a gear swap and some Lipo batts... Only thing ive been told buy the guys who race these is the nitro is for you if you want excessive maintenance , a gas smell , and the sound of the motor... That little 1/16 Revo rips out of the box @ 50 MPH, with a double 7.2 setup, but is pretty flippy..

Ok.. So went to 2 of our local shops today, and got a pretty good rundown of all the basics.. Going Electric for sure, Especially with the quality of the New brushless setups , price , selection.. I lookedd at HPI, Team Losi, and Traxxas , .. I think Im gonna go Traxxas, as it seems to be a good bang for the buck.. Losi is awesome, but a little to spendy for my first RC in 20 yrs.. So heres what Im looking at.. Im not gonna be pro racing, just messing around, racing buddies around the streets, in the dirt ,, jumping, etc etc and It has come down to 3 choices E Revo VXL 1/16 --- http://traxxas.com/products/models/electric/7107_7105erevo116 Slash VXL 1/10 --- http://traxxas.com/products/models/electric/5807slashvxl Rustler VXL --- http://traxxas.com/products/models/electric/3707rustlervxl I realize the Revo is tiny, but seems like you get the best of everything right out of the box The Slash is 2WD, but a bit bigger and can take more of a beating, also with a Lipo Battery might be just as quick as the Revo with twin 7.2s The Rustler just got my attn for speed.. DOnt know much about it.. And This will be one of 2 or possibly 3... I would like a good all around, a good BIG 4x4, and something for the track/speed The 2 they had there that were just insane were the Full size Revo Brushless , and the E-Maxx Brushless --- http://traxxas.com/products/models/electric/5608erevobrushless --- http://traxxas.com/products/models/electric/3908emaxxbrushless Thoughts??

thanks

the ingersol and the crafsman professional ( 2nd and 3rd link ) should do everything, Including paint guns.. But I wouldnt think they would be the best.. But as for the everyday garage / air tools I think they would all be descent.. Just a matter of wether I want oil pump or belt driven

Ive been looking at a few .. These seem to be good quality and have a pretty good CFM rating .. Not wanting to go all crazy with huge 230 volt unit thats gonna need its own breaker, But it most likely will be stationary and never move anyways .. Just a nice sized one for the impacts and other air tools, shop needs etc http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00916770000P?prdNo=14&blockNo=14&blockType=G14 http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00989225000P?prdNo=2&blockNo=2&blockType=G2 http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00916475000P?prdNo=1&blockNo=1&blockType=G1

are we really talking about all ths expensive exhaust swapping for that old ass saturn in your ava? If your not modding the motor of your car , put a fawking regular muffler and call it a day.. holy shit

Yea in my op I mentioned that was one I was looking at. But the jvc has 5v preouts, Bluetooth and all iPod hookups with a great interface ( which is why I said "oddly jvc is in the mix ) with it while they are options only on the pioneer Check out the jvc 830. It really is nice for the price especially when it drops to $399 like it does on occasion. I'm really holding off for the pioneer z120 hoping it will drop like it did a month or so ago on amazon for $899

I looked at clarion but wasn't to Impressed. For true multimedia/ ip interface. It seems to be alpine, pioneer and oddly jvc

They dont make them anywhere , so they have to be custom.. Any ideas on good companies out there?

Bueller....

Buying my first one, but dont know a ton about whats good. Ive been looking at the JVC Arsenal AVX 830 , the Pioneer 4200 or any otheroptions available that are good, with a great Iphone interface Are there any big specials that come around on the higher end stuff like a Z120 or anything aroung black friday or the holdays? I saw on Amazon the Z 120 was $899 shipped.. If there are deals like that Ill wait, but if not I wanna keep it Under $600 for BT, a descent preout, and a good IP4 interface

Ok. Wellllll. Shot in the dark. But a buddy of mine is saying screw the sc. And put on a turbo kit. Hmmm

Hmmmm It looks pretty new to me so all advice is welcomed
