Those grass tracks look great. You guys with those grass tracks are exactly what I want to do but with the drain pipe to outline it. Do your cars get bogged down with the grass or do they run really well on it? I would would mow ours down at the mowers lowest setting and bag it off so there are no c...

Good enough for bashing around for 9 yo little boy that wants to go brushless big time?

I did not know that, interesting.

Are they actual AE item or highly cheapened version built by them?
Or are they cheap because they are an old design?
I mean $200 for a RTR shipped for a brushless T3 truck is a heck of deal for the boy to get.

What is the scoop on the Thunder Tiger Phoenix Buggies and Trucks? They look like Associated B3's & T3's. They say Associated parts can be used to fix them up. Are they just a cheap version of the AE's? What exactly is scoop on these things? I may look into getting one for the boy and AE B4.2T f...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

Thanks for the info guys. I don't really care if it wears through the grass to dirt. I may get a dump truck of clay for jumps or I may just use some wood and plywood for jumps and it cover with that green indoor outdoor carpet. I got a new larger push mower with a bagger that I use for trimming arou...

I'm going to build a track on our side hill and just keep it mowed down grass in the spring. I'll get a roll of 250' of drain pipe and lay our track out and just mow it tight and bag the clippings so it is tight to the ground. I hate running on thick grass because clippings get all over the vehicals...

I'm redoing my buggie with the new re re white parts so I can have a box art shelf queen car that I always have wanted.

That is what I was afraid of.... I guess I really snoozed and lost as I had no clue it was even coming out, I have been out of this for some time. I just discovered this car being out only 2 weeks ago by accident by randomly picking up a R/C Car Action magazine at B&N to see what was new in the ...

I see these are discontinued already by most places and eBay has them for $350+ now. Did they sell out that quickly?? Will they be re released again with another run??? They just came out for Pete's sake,I was looking forward to getting one near Christmas time or in the spring when taxes come in. Th...

Oooh Aaahh... It looks great! That is one of my favorite trucks.
Are you going to run it, or is it a shelf queen?

Lynn

HI!... Wow never seen them go that cheap. Usually mint built ones I've seen go for at least $300. Saw a few new in box ones go for over $400 on Ebay. They have been available at Tower Hobbies for a long time for around $150 brand new, I have always seen them in their catalogs I have been getting fo...

Cool!
I just finished building one of these last week from a MISB kit I got last Dec. for $100.
