of my rc truck I been building for the last 2 years.

Finally got it to a point I can drive it. Still needs a few more things till I can call it finished, but its able to run and have fun with finally.

Got one of my electric Traxxas Slash uploading right now, will add a link to it as soon as its done.

Here is my 1:5th scale HPI 5B
This one runs on High Octane Unleaded and 2 stroke oil. WHY? Because it has a weed eater motor in it silly :p I did something in this video I knew better and shouldnt of done, and that was stand up, but the damn thing does 60mph easily, and sitting in my chair I couldnt really see it or control it, but going through the pain was worth it all, it is one bad mother fuc....SHUT YO MOUTH! It has a 23cc motor, tuned exhaust, shaved head along with it being ported and polished, and a stuffed crank. If I were to guess it went from around 2.5hp to 6 hp and when it hits the upper band it breaks free and all it wants to do is fish tail, as you can see and hear in the video. Every time you see it go into a spin, its because it hits the sweet spot and in the grass the tires just break loose and she just spins out.

And here is my Electric Traxxas Slash

Good to play with when I am having troubles with the nitros, or gas one, and all I want to do is play and not have to worry about anything at all, just have fun.

Can you buy a muffler? Anything to change that annoying sound.

Otherwise, neat-o!

It's probably just the camcorder.

No. Gas RC cars sound like that. Still miss my Kyosho Vanning.:brokenheart:

Hand over the man card, it runs on nitro fuel, its a motor, you know verooom verooom ;)

Doesnt matter what the sound is, just the fact its a micro monster truck powered by something that produces fire and an explosion, its manly.

And it has a muffler on it, its not the camera, used a Samsung MX10, not to hot on video taking for its a flash based camera, but takes great sound, in stereo, and then youtube gets a hold of it and messes it all up video and audio and makes it sound and look like crap :(

But I love my new toy I built. Its about a 1:6-1:7th scale, used to be a 1:8th till I extended it with the longer frame.

HERE are some still shots of it.
