Thanks for the tip Shiny. It would not be easy installing the led light like the baja. I will be running the truck mostly in the evenings and would just love to see the truck tearing down the track shinning like a christmas tree. Have any pics with a similar light set up?

Sounds like you're off to a god start.

Thanks Kun144. I'm trying to stock up on upgrades now 'cos if any break happens, there aint no hobby shops here i can just breeze into to get replacement parts. International shipping/custom duties/long delays/extra prices/big dent on the wallet...all the pains i gotta endure to enjoy the hobby.Its an addiction!

Thanks Magnum. I'm a newbie to Large scale cars but i've been doing quite a lot of research and decieded a good hopped up RTR will do me good than a kit. Yea...my friend..is the Man!Lucky me he was coming into the country on business. Saved some quid on shipping costs. On the nitro, will make an attepmt at ignition this coming weekend.

When you resize your pics, set them for 640x480


That makes them a decent size, but these are much better than the first ones.


Good batch of hopups there. Let us know how you like the radio.


I might pick one of those up, so I don't have to run both of my 1/5 scales from my 3PK.
