I have taken the necessary precautions to ensure that my folks never hear about the price! When they ask, I always quote mastercard and say "its priceless!"

great. i and the people at work were all shocked. as well.

infact there should be a thread on what people asked when they first saw an rc car at the local park or street.

Haha.. The best is when they ask what you run and you say nitro, they say oh wow NOS?! I think the nitro bit is always confusing. But if you say methanol, nobody seems impressed ;) Unless its at the drag strip.

I tell guys what brushless is like this."This motor has 3 wires coming out of it rather than the 2 you see on a brushed dc motor.This thing revs up crazy and can go upto 50,000 RPM and has tons of torque and its around 85% efficient and is almost if not more than twice as powerful compared to a brushed motor."I get blank looks most of the time.At school,guys go"You spent 25k on a toy??  :o"?I'm like,"Its not a toy,Its a full fledged racer(off-road)just around 10-9 times smaller.

lol! Next time tell them you got it for 350 bucks at BigBazaar. That almost always makes people happy. Plus it makes them go away ;)

Very few of my friends know that I have it.Only one guy has sen it.


I got so bored when we were taught about 'brushed motors'.I always used to say that they were crap and brushless is the new 'in' thing.

Hmmm... Almost all my friends know that I'm into it. Some of them got into R/C as well. I guess its important cause the more people interested in the hobby, the cheaper it'll get for us ;)

But none of the time wasters or non believers or "I'm too mature for toys" guys get an invite to hang out. Some people never change lol.. I hate it that some people associate age with hobbies. That's just so ridiculous. RC is just as intricate and interesting as their real life full scale counterparts!

Totally agree with you.Whoever says its a toy gets my fury.  >:D


And as you said,some people never learn.Let them waste their lives while we enjoy our RCs.

Man I love the sound of it shifting. Are you considering the three speed box? I've been hearing mixed reviews about it. I will be going in for the reverse mod though. While this thing can pretty much climb over anything, reverse is still a good thing to have.

I'll be getting a roll cage done. Hopefully I'll get to complete it tomorrow. I'm thinking of a lightweight reinforced stainless steel cage. I have a design sketched and ready. Its going to be modular with underbody protection as well.. Hopefully will work out. Will be completing the sway bar as well..

What mods have you planned? You really need to get underbody protection. I can't believe they didn't include it as stock!

^^The sound when it shifts !! It can seal the deal for a lot of us. I see you are getting a reverse mod done, its one of the reasons i opted not to buy the t-maxx. Though they said its ok and its good when you wanna race to not have reverse but you'll seriously miss it when ur having some fun and not racing  :)
Traxxas Revo 3.3

ShutterX

well.... IMHO,

reverse is a no go. i have learned that the reverse module requires a particular idle rpm to shift... if you have given her a lil more revs at idle, she might not shift..

anyways. only things iam going to invest on on this car is servos, tires and some protection like Tassem mentioned. thats because funds are limited and i gotta save for the next car! :P
