Are they any good? a bit cheaper than a Savage Flux. I could save up for the Savage Flux of MT4, but I'm an impatient guy, that's what's got me thinkin Savage XS The Savage X I believe is Nitro. So if you are looking for another can of worms.. nitro can make that happen.  I know a lot of people who like nitro, the sound, the realism. But when we go bashing.. I want to turn on my vehicle and bash.. while you yank the pull start. (Although HPI is drill start) but you get the point. But if you really want to jump all in, nitro is an option. Oops, no thanks. No interest in nitro. Neighbors already give me funny looks when bashing at home. Gotta toss my vote in the Pede 4x4 bin. That truck kills. As a matter of fact, I'm currently working on a new uber 4x4 build. Loved the truck stock, love working on it, and will hopefully love my new "bash proof" monster. That's right Brian...even Evan bash proof

One hour of voting left. I've already made the graphics and working on the post so I'm hoping things stay as they are. I really don't want to stay up until midnight.

its the year to go big Haha! For sure man. The Pede would be my truck of choice for some hydro action. I may have to build a water rig after my uber Pede 4x4 build up I'm working through now.

And it takes a ton of time. Cool, your Trekker review sold me on it. found a lightly used one for $70 on ebay. BWD Vertex wheels, RC4wd micro Mickey Thompson Baja Claws, some 1/24 Hobby Gear stuff.

Ah, man that's sick! Love it! You see that Bri-Bri? My review sold a Losi product! Betcha we don't get a thank you Love the Trekker Adam. I need to put some TLC in mine. I've been spending a ton of time on the Wraith currently. Timbuk2 Wraith Edition, 7955TG servo, and I've started loading some of the STRC alloy stuff on it (shock bodies, caps, c-hubs). I added MIP driveshafts today as a matter of fact. Like you said...once you start...

That race is for sure close... I need a Losi 5 though, even if it goes home a loser. Those things are just awesomely huge.

Our March Bashness could end up being slow versus slower in the ultimate bash off? COME ON MT4! For the record, I voted MT4. That drift pic reminded me of something, watchin formula drift today, I realized that play by play commentary is really annoying, I want to hear the motors and rubber screeching! And bright wheels are best for TV viewing, you can really see the angle better, dig that opposite lock! Thanks for the suggestions on the Pede, I'm going to look into that.
