I have been trying to save up for a HPI Savage but house Reno's have kept that from happening. I have been thinking about getting a Bushpig instead but not to sure if they are legal in canada. I heard about them on Daily Planet.

I missed my R/C cars as well except mine was electric and was so close in getting a Nitro. I guess i chose keep marine fish instead....lol

I guess u just missed the window, a guy was selling his TMaxx at the Calgary.forsale newsgroup which includes the starter, gas etc...quite a good deal.

There are 2 shops i know of that sells R/C stuff, one is right besides Wai's aquarium on 16Ave NE. ( 2 stores west of Wai's ) i think they sell R/C stuff..or i have been told.

The other one is PM Hobbycraft on 32Ave NE, right besides Memory Express, they have lots of choices of cars.

Yup still got mine, I was a dirt guy T/A RC10 truck and buggy and Team Losi buggy. Haven't touched them in years think couple speed controllers are toast. Was fun until Hobby Pro Raceways closed. :sad:

I crashed my friends helicopter AND plane into the same tree! We had to climb 30 feet. I like the boats. Alot less you can do to them.

My other vice besides reef tanks and fly-fishing.
I used to race T/A 10t's offroad, went to the Roar Nationals and Regionals. It got out of hand trying to keep up with factory drivers, with new motors, batteries, tires etc.

Now I just play around with my T-Maxx, its a riot. I'm waiting to break in a Revo, it looks like its going to be a blast.

My collection now is 2 T/A RC10T's
T-Maxx
Revo
HPI F-1 onroad
Victoria sailboat
Villian EX electric boat
Losi mini-t
Kyosho mini-z

Check out a T-Maxx you'll love it.

Brian,

Why so into the Traxxas products?

For the money you dump into them you can just about get into true 8th scale big block stuff.
