yea they do break kinda easy..but they are easy to fix....screws n plastic....but you can always buy more exoensive parts that supposedly are stronger or better...they have a big performance aftermarket thing...its fun...just jump in buy a RTR kit

I think I will, and besides, fixing stuff is the best way to learn, and theres a lot of things to learn in an RC car i bet.

i use to have a traxxas nitro rustler. it was pretty fast! i blew out the engine and then a kid from my neighborhood asked if he could have it and i gave it to him.

hope i get one soon though!

peace!

is there any good info out there that anyone is up on that has to do with r/c car track design, like, say if i wanted to make a dirt track, what are proper angles and distances between jumps, etc?

SB, most people @ the track would have the r/c vehicle right there and do test jumps.....usually a launch with a hard landing...usualy the hard landing is adjusted with a larger ride height...then after a test jump or two the 'landing' side of the jump is started and adjusted...but that is an excellent question..the best tracks right now employ a 'blue groow' hard pack clay type surface wich is very much like a smooth paved asphalt...except with jumps, sweepers, rythm sections, whoopty doo's, table tops..u name it..ive seen some awesome track set ups and at my local track i help out with the shovel work
