Black medium springs all around, I take it?

Kvestions: 1. Why switch the steering around? 2. What shock oil and spring do you recommend?

Note to self. Steal one of these.

Yes, stupid autocorrect. If AI was so intelligent, why can't they make an autocorrect that actually works?

Taking also makes very small footprint brushless ESCs.

I ignore box art. I remember when I was a little kid, looking at some static model, and thinking to my little self "neat car, too bad the decals are so dumb..." And then it dawned on me....you don't have to use the decals!

Needs lipos. But definitely needs some kind of missile-like out of the box headline top speed.

The magic of "made in China" or competing with "made in China". Since I know helicopters better than buggies, I did a back of the envelope calculation and figured that, if someone was to buy an r/c helicopter in the 1980s when I was a kid, you were looking at around $1,500 US to get started. Imagine the looks on my parents' faces if I told them I was going to spend a grand and a half on a toy helicopter. And that was if you were on the cheap. That got you a nitro r/c copter that you assembled yourself and needed to make wooden blades for, and didn't fly all that well, honestly speaking, if it flew at all. Today, any jerk can walk into a hobby shop and walk out with a fully aerobatic electric r/c copter, rtf with beginner mode, all for a bit over US $100, all up. Batteries included.

I didn't have a buggy back then, but it's my theory that this rapid pace of evolution and even radical change is what made The Golden Age of R/C Buggies so golden. The rules of the game weren't set, and nobody really knew what would be coming next or from whom, whether in terms of product, manufacturer, or driver. Anyway, my kid loves to build, and I wanted him actually to learn how his Slash goes together so that's why I got the kit.

My little man built a Traxxas Slash kit this winter.

Any guide as to which RB5/6/7 hop ups are compatible with the Dirt Master?

I can't speak to Traxxas, having never gotten or seen a C&D from them, but I have seen C&D letters that take such an aggressive stance.

I see Dirt Masters are on sale in US online retailers.

To me, it seems short-sighted on the part of Traxxas. Traxxas should want people to provide aftermarket parts for their products, as that encourages sales of more Traxxas-branded products. But I don't run things at Big T

This happens a lot in other industries. Try selling parts that fit a Fender guitar but are not manufactured by Fender.

Note to self: steal one of these kits. What bodyshell are you using?

For me, the C3 was the best-looking Corvette. True that American muscle is very much a niche market in Japan.

I use carpet tape on the inside of my body shells, and my driver is an eight year old.

Anyone mention a sixth generation Chevrolet Corvette already?

I didn't build that many shocks, but every one of my Kyosho shocks has been leak-free. I have no special tech sauce, just followed the manual and every shocks has stayed dry as a bone (confirmed by leaving out on white paper for days). Reading these threads makes me paranoid, like I am.just incredibly lucky or cheating fate or something.

Stupit question, but could that be tuned out with shocks and springs?

Don't recall sizes off the top of my head. Steering might have been a tad smoother and quicker.

I did. Seems to work...smoothly.

I like buggies, buggies that look sort of like actual 1:1 buggies.

Who is "we"?
