I have always wanted to get a gas powered RC car but idk if i can justify spending that much $ on a "toy". As it is some of the battery operated ones were pretty freaking expensive.

My dad bought me a Traxxas RC truck that was gas. They HAUL ASS, I'm talking a 40mph RC truck the RC cars will do like 60 or more.

This was years ago but I fondly remember them being extremely temperamental, we always had a problem starting it. Maybe they have changed since then. They are a lot of fun though.

They suck down the gas too they run like over 100 octane.

Damn, he's selling it for like $100 less than retail and it hasn't even been run yet. That's a steal. I wish it was the Subaru though, I don't like the Fiesta too much.

I used to have a few gas powered R/C cars. I had a Traxxas Nitro 4-tec, all carbon fiber and aluminum. That thing was fast as fuck. Did about 70, but I had no place to really run it. Sold it for ~$1k back in '04, bought my first actual car with it.

I used to have an E-Maxx. That thing was fun.

Also had two Tamiya electric cars (dont remember the model), an HPI RS4, and a custom built dragster. I need to find pics.

I'm prob going to end up getting 1 and saving it for "the kids" from Santa. That's how i get all the cool stuff i want LOL. My husb said he can get a s13 drift one from his job since they sponsor that driver dai yoshihara (or whatever his name is) and its like marketing merchandise. I rather have a badass monster truck one but the good side to the one from his job is they will split it into a bunch of tiny payments & take it right out of his check. Lol

Yea its actually really convenient. They do the same thing with car parts, got the spacers & camber kit thru them. They let you order straight from the manufacturer at what they would pay for it (which is funny because its on items besides wheels- which is mainly ehat they sell lol) which is like dirt cheap. I think they mark it up like 5% to get a commission but it still came out to less than half , even of ebay pricing.

Hey Justin,

Thought of you while down here in Florida:





This is why I came here. I was the only person out of like 5 friends he invited to show up. One was stuck in Alaska though at work and the other also had to work in East Texas.

Yeah its been fun. We really don't wanna leave. Packing up now getting ready for the 19 hour drive back to shitville.

We are going to start looking for a house down here and prepare to move within the next 2 years. I am going to transfer off-shore and make pretty much the same money as now and only work 6 months a year.

Yeah if you work in Alaska or off-shore they pay mileage or fly you to where-ever you need to go.

When you travel its usually 2 weeks on 2 weeks off with the 2 weeks off being paid 40 hours a week.

There used to be a 3 weeks on 3 weeks off and 30 days on 30 days off but it has all pretty much gone the 2/2 schedule.

I think it averages 135 hours for 2 weeks but you make around high 20's to low 30's an hour plus day bonuses and job bonuses.

Thats for supervisors, I know a guy who just transferred a couple months ago to off-shore from my area so he could move to south florida. Gonna try and contact him.

Also trying to wait til after election day to make a commitment.

And as a career, the kid better either be: doctor, dentist, engineer, pharmacist, chartered accountant, or computer developer.
