Default electric

Mine was an early rc10. Aluminum chassis/shocks.
When I got it I was dissapointed because I wanted the grasshopper. But I soon learned That the rc10 with the
reedy motor blew away all of my friends crappy cars!
I eventually upgraded to an rc10 B2. And I just got into
nitro a month ago.

I bought a 4 wheel drive radio shack monster truck for my son. It was black and green. What a blast! Very durable and pretty fast too. No matter what we did to it it never broke. The battery pack never lasted too long though. Thats why when I asked for one for Christmas last year I wanted Nitro.

I remember we would always play destruction derby in the front with the tyco's. It always ended up with parts everywhere. Anyway, my first car was a nitro HPI Rush stadium truck.
