Ordered new props, charger, 2 batteries, some deans connectors, and a lipo alarm.

Hopefully it will work with an old reciever I have as the previous owner kept the reciever from it.

Good on you, don't forget to disconnect the lipo alarm when your done playing, mine was left accidentally connected, then went off at 3:30am............ How annoying!!!!! I'm glad you've finally crumbled, I saw you post in the Facebook group, you'll need a SJ body now, I think Tamiya do one, I haven't seen the speedway pal ones about for a while now,

Yeah most old rx's and handsets will work fine with what you have, most gear is compatable looking forward to updates, what's the plan? A scaler or a crawler?

I bought another RC last month.....

Probably not very exciting to the people here but it's a 98' (so retro as these cars go) Schumacher FireBlade USA, I just have a brushless set up coming for it, so I can race it at the iconic RC race day,

Mainly focused around performance but with a little bit of resemblance to a heavily modified real life crawler.

I think I have a problem.......... I can't stop buying bits, this month I bought -

60a brushless motor and speedo
New shock absorbers front and back,
Pinion and spur gear
New 'viscous' diff

All for the fireblade,

If you were wanting a full on crawler you might have been better with something other than the MRC, it's good but it's a little small, my friend has a vaterra twin hammers, it's immense, if I was starting out crawling I'd look at one of these!

Loads more available parts, good turn of speed (2speed so you can go slow and fast) and fantastic out the box, my Losi makes a great scaler, but I'd have picked something bigger if I wanted more performance,

I think I will be happy with it having played with Scotties MRC a few times.

I wanted something small you can take anywhere and use.

I guy at work has a 1/8th crawler of some sort I had a play with. It's good but its huge.

I like the idea of being able to drive round the lounge over stacks of DVD cases.

Those wraiths are really good I've heard nothing but praise for them, but they quite pricey too!!! Rc4wd do some good things too, I fancy a 'beast 2' but then again it's on a list of lots of cars I want!
