I'll get me coat....

It uses 2 3S packs in series i think. You can get 6S chargers and packs though, the bigger helicopters use them. Not sure what the 1/8th scale ones use.

I'm more inteested in the off road ones tbh. I used to race buggies when I was a kid but I don't know if my trusty optima mid is up to the modern power and for the cost of the upgrade I could have a monster truck that'll hit 60mph. Ideal for the park.

Brushless electric to.

When I was a kid I wanted a nitro fueled car as they were a bit quicker, not any more and none of the mess.

Impressive technology for a toy. How about scaling it up so I can use it on the Autobahn?

The steering wheel on the fiat started shaking yesterday but then I was sitting at 112mph.

What is your point?

The traxxas radios are a bit cheap compared to Futaba or Spektrum but the models themselves are pretty good.
