I had a Traxxas Nitro Rustler back in the day, when they use the .15 motor. I had a set of gears for it and a 360 pipe on it. It was a fun little truck. Would pull the front wheels up a little bit (I know you can get them now that will pull wheelies all day long, but this was when Traxxas was not that well known, probly 9 or 10 years ago). I’ve always wanted a Nitro road car tho. Hmm…time to do some online shopping. ---

Sick crawler! I had an ESP Juggular2 with all the goodies (twin stock cans, novak super rooster, etc.) the front bar looks goofy though, makes it look really long. ---

Use to have a Kyosho Inferno MP5 Burns edition with some basic goodies, HPI RS4 with the enclose shaft drive for dirt use and Peugeot 206 rally body, and had a Serpent 705 nitro that I picked up used. Sold all of them not long ago ☹ Serpent was blistering fast, too fast for just normal goof around use and got rid of it soon after buying. MP5 Burns was the tits. I used to abuse the crap out of that thing and it kept on going. RS4 was too small for my tastes. After messing with 1/8 scale cars it just seemed like I was going to break it all the time(which I never did but still) I wouldn’t mind a nitro champ car for on road use but have too much money tied up into other things to start digging another money pit. ---
