Had this itch yesterday to sell my nitro stuff and switch to electric. There just doesnt seem to be much sense to keep nitro now with all the new electric tech. Cant wait to get an electric to start playing with again.

Looking at getting a VXL Rustler (used of course, something to start with). As soon as i pick it up from the guy this afternoon I will be ordering a Turnigy 6 charger and a couple 5000mah lipos.

Question: The one im buying has a 27mhz radio still, if I wanted to upgrade to 2.4ghz and stay pretty entry level, what would you all suggest? (model memory might be nice, since rc cars are like crack and I just cant have 1)

The cheapest way is probably the Traxxas 2.4G Link controller. iirc it has 10 model memory.

Thanks, that looks like its a pretty good option. I'll keep an eye out on ebay, unless anyone here has the itch to upgrade from their Link system to something else?

I just bought a used Link tx and rx for $20, so the deals are out there.

Yea, just picked a brand new link system and an extra receive for $50.


If I were to get the girl a mini of some sort, would the Losi Mini-t (1/18th) be the best bet? Or is there a kit out there better, if we dont need radio gear?

lovely cell phone pics but here you go!


Thanks for the pics. Not sure if I am going to race a buggy class this year, so I will probably hold off, unless some extra money and time comes my way to just get this to mess with.

I have used amainhobbies for pretty much all my purchase needs. The site layout is really well done, and with their USPS priority shipping (usually the cheapest) I get my stuff in 2 days. I cant complain about their prices either.
