    dude those things are a joke they just break and all u do is spend money on them u would probably spend less money making a real car do that. But if u are really set on buying one im pretty sure they sell them at hobby town usa.

      I don't believe anyone sells those rc cars locally anymore since hobby town closed years ago. I have 2 nitro cars that can do that but I never get to run them. For one I am just too busy to get them tuned and setup to run and trying to find a perfectly smooth asphalt lot in the area isn't very easy. If you can find somewhere to run them, their cheap to get into and the new parts they use are very durable now.

        I got into mine a few years ago, everything said and done ready to run i paid $630ish. Yeah i agree running into curbs and rolling them isnt the best on them they are still fun. I take mine out to the go kart track in the fair grounds. Its A nice track to run them at wide open.

        Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car
        Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
        Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall
        Torque is how far you take the wall with you

          I couple of my friends Have HPI Savages and them sons of bitches take a hell of beating and when you actually do bash them hard enough to break something, minus electrical compenents and engines which aren't cheap to begin with, there fairly cheap to fix. The most expensive thing is the fuel and even with that you can get a hell of lot of run time.

                  i used to have a nitro and an electric car. replacing parts and the cars in general can get kinda spendy... not to mention breaking the the nitro motors is a PITA!

                    That looks like a lot of fun and I'm kinda impressed that they can do that well with a remote controlled car. But I agree, it'd probably be more fun to build a real car.

                      Considering you just made a thread about not being able to post in the classifieds then randomly start bumping old threads when you're close to the post count lol...

                      At first I did it for fun, then I realized I made the investment and had to do it!
