I love the sound of those things. I have a Traxxas Rustler .15. I need something better though, because it has all kinds of problems. |

Chad, the guys that flip the cars back over are called "marshalls". Every takes turns out there marshalling so it works out well.
Jesse/Naledge, my car wasn't at there because I had the camera in my hands lol.
Mark, where is cornell IL? That track is in Joliet near challenge park xtreme. If you're going to buy something better let me know and I'll steer you in the right direction. |

I'm about fifty miles southwest of Joliet. I-55 is just a few miles east of me, so it doesn't take me long to get there. There is a hobby shop I go to down in Bloomington where I get my parts from. I want a Revo, but I don't want to spend $500 for it. |

That TT ST1 looks pretty sweet.
I want to build one like this though. It has a 22cc two stroke chainsaw motor.

Mark, that thing is super slow lol. It has decent torque from the looks of it but that 22cc motor doesn't have the proper RPM to get it up to speed and from what I can see in the video he doesn't have the proper gearing either. It does sound cool though. It really wouldn't be worth all of the work that it would take to make that engine mesh up the T-Maxx transmission either. |
