I bought a "new to me" Team Associated RC10B4 Stealth the other day. I have already done some upgrades to it. I installed a Trinity 13T Double motor, Novak Rooster speed control, high torque all metal steering servo, Orion 4300 MaH NiMH battery pack, ProLine 2.8" tires and wheels, and some new shocks. We clocked it with a friend's car at about 40-42 MPH with the new battery. In three runs, the rear tires are DEAD! Anyway, here's a pic of it.

Also, my new guitar. Takamine EG530SSC. Great tone, and low action. I love this!

Ha, thanks. I have already crashed the car a few times, and spent too much money on replacement parts. A couple of control arms, new top plate, shock mount... you get the idea. It's fun to jump bar stools at work though!

oh man... ive always wanted a nitro RC car... (idk if that ones nitro or not) but i figure that with the crazy stunts id end up doing, it would end up breaking and being too expensive for me to wanna fix... :( lol :D so i never got into it.

How much do the RC's normally run?

It really depends on where ou buy it and what you buy. You can get a pretty basic car for around 175. Or, you could spend 5-600 dollars on something a little more extreme.
And, chaldo, the only difference between those guitars is the black paint on yours and the solid top, back, and sides on mine. Both are sweet playing and easy on the ears.

Yeah they are... I am just waiting for the rain to stop so I can go tear up some more crap! Water and electricity usually don't mix to well. LOL
