I've got a XXXT that I have had sitting in the basement for a while. I tried to sell it on Ebay 3 times, along with all the extras, and couldn't get what I wanted out of it. I'll try and sell it again in the spring.

And if you F'd up your steering servo, i bet its because you don't have a decent 'servo saver' on your truck? Those 2 mods will save you a bunch of headaches.
The little blue thing u attach to the drill. I had one of those for my stadium truck but the only draw back was it would make the piston stick and eventually just lock it self completly. Then i cracked the head on that motor trying to race my friends mustang. I kinda liked the push button when it worked but as of the servo it was stock with stock radio. Plus i coulndt help to run it though mud and water. I had a burbon body with street tires that made it look sick. I need to get that little **** running again.

that dodge stratus body is one of the most aerodynamic bodys u can get.

1. tamiya-TT01R
2. team associated- tc3 - i have modded into a AE86 drift car
3. mugen- mtx3 (nitro)
4. i think the last one is also a mugen mtx3 but in electric form but all i have for it is a full carbon fiber rolling chasie.
i also have a magnum fm controller to control all of my cars.

i wanted an 1/8th scale on-road car nut i never got around to buying one.

my buddy has a revo truck and has put about 1500 dollars into, that little truck is sick.

I had an E-Maxx, at the time didn't want to deal with gas, and I put an NSX body on it. Looked freakin hilarious. Jumped it and basically shredded the NSX body lol.

I still have my 2 nitro rc trucks, a Traxxas Rustler mostly aluminum (forgot what motor it has) and T-Maxx that has been converted to .25 motor. I haven't touched them in about 2 years, they're just sitting in my closet. The T-Maxx has big bore shocks and I installed spool on the rear diff to make it posi.
