Will you get a nice offroad package for it? Little lifts and Super Swampers, then you can go mudding and rock crawling.;)

Have fun

Its my little toy for when my big toy can't go to school ;)
I'm prolly going to rip everything outa it. Maybe convert to gas powered. I'll just drive it into my roomate everytime he annoys me with his drunken antics :D I should be here any day now. I'll post pics when its repainted.

Oh, I thought the escape was the RC version of the explorer?

jimbo74
05-20-2002, 04:53 PM
no, the escape is the lifted ford focus with bigger tires and an extra set of cv shafts....

taxx
05-20-2002, 04:55 PM
The focus makes a nice rally car though!

jimbo74
05-20-2002, 04:57 PM
i think we are off topic...but..who cares.... the focus isnt as cool as a rally car as the subaru wrx that came into work the other day.... my boss popped a wheely in it and the front tire that was off the ground was spinning too... it was cool to watch... kinda like the way my t-maxx does... but in a real car :eek: :thumbsup: ;)

taxx

I agree the WRX is a cooler looking rally car.

Did you get to ride in it? I want to drive one, i think it would be a blast doin over 100 (or whatever they do) on a dirt road!

For now I will just have to stick with GT3 on my PS2

jimbo74
05-20-2002, 05:23 PM
nope didnt get to ride in it :(
but just watching the wheely with the tire spinning in the air was way cool!!!

I think I need to get an RC truck to run around at home when I can't beat on the X!

Digger196
05-20-2002, 05:56 PM
Same here. I'm trying to decide what type and company right now. any preferancs for which brand are the best for under 400 gas R/C car? i'm think a Traxx that is already built and take the top off and put a X body on it or make my own body or just repaint the existing one already on there.

go with traxxx.

jimbo74
05-20-2002, 06:04 PM
traxxas is a brand... not a vehicle.... for gas i would get a t-maxx or a pirate monster blazer... or for speed an 1/8 scale buggy

Digger196
05-20-2002, 06:07 PM
i'm looking into a pretty fast car that i can run on dirt and such at Hobby park (they have a track there) and also on the road to full around.

what model traxx is good for that?

jimbo74
05-20-2002, 06:08 PM
see my above post

Digger196
05-20-2002, 06:16 PM
i'm saying the body look and the type liek have X's, F-150. what does Traxx have that are good?

jimbo74
05-20-2002, 06:19 PM
r/c vehicles can have any body mounted on them.... the part with them are what car/truck to buy.... then what body you want on it.... bolink and parma are the major body makers and have everything from a subaru wrx to a hummer militia

Digger196
05-20-2002, 06:24 PM

What about the RC 10 Truck? Is it still good?

It has been so long since i had one... I don't know what is good anymore. Definetely gas so I don't have to charge after 10 minutes of playing. Something in a box, cause building it is half the fun, and definetely an X body painted like mine!
