wow... 30mph!

If I was too look for something a little slower than that... any suggestions?

They have played with a friends nylint once or twice. Any suggestions on something that moves that speed?

It only goes 30 if you use a 7 cell battery and overgear it. It'll do about 20-25 on 6 cells with stock gearing. Should be fine. The XL5 esc is programmable and can be set at 50% maximuim throttle or 100%.

Even at half it sounds like a fast truck... atleast too fast for inside use.

I'm sure the snow won't keep up for too long. Half throttle won't be too fast. The real speed doesn't start until 3/4 throttle. Probably 10MPH at 50%. I had a toys'r'us that went 15MPH.

my first car when I was 7 years old was a RC10T3 team kit with a 21 turn motor.

Ok... so I am going to get two wheely kings.

I have [link=http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXHHV3&P=7]This GWS charger[/link] from my park flyer days. I figure I should just buy another one so that they both end up using the same charger. However I may be swayed to pick up a different charger if there is a better option out there.
