Re: RC Cars!
I need to run mine up against a slash. When are you guys meeting up next? I did some things to an older electric car I've got.
I'm just here for the views. It helps me feel wanted.

Yes but that was because its an HPI and not an Associated and driving it like Ricky Bobby didn't help lmao! Other then that its been super reliable. You still thinking of getting one?

It may not be the fastest combo but being out of the sport as long as I have its crazy fast. Way faster than my nitro for sure.

Re: RC Cars!
Keep a good eye on that battery and make sure you get a balancer if you don't already have one or this could happen to you....even if you have a balancer and keep your eye on it lol! I learned my lesson with using cheap lipos....

Re: RC Cars!
Wow! Dude that sucks! I have a good balance charger. I've read horror stories of lipo's but it sounds like it just happens randomly or when being misused. What's there to look for? Swelling?
