Hey, is it me, or do those rims look like the ones on BadAzz516's truck...........the Boyd Coddington 20" Smoothies??

HEHEHEHE


COOL

Drop the hitch, spare, and tailgate and it'll be ready for the track.

Seriously, if it is 28lbs and runs off a 9.6v battery, it will either go through batteries like our trucks goes through gas, or it (most likely) won't be very fast.

 

if its the NIKKO I saw it and the harley davidson trucks at Sams Club, the box this thing comes in is huge.. was 89.00 my friend bought the harley truck and says its fun but rather slow. I prefer the e-trex does 30mph with a 2 speed gearbox and you can get custom bodies

 

I have a T-Maxx with a F250 body on it. Absolutely a blast to see one of these truck screams down the dirt road doing 30+ mph. As soon as I can find a F150 body for it, I'll switch to road-race suspension and do a .21 upgrade to build a mini-Lightning out of the T-Maxx.

 

Well now i will have to stop at toys r us and see it in person hehe.

 

Buy one and bring it saturday night Vin

 

Bruce you should see the nitro powered gas truck i have. Dual exhuast damn thing flies. Its so fast i can get it to pull wheelies .

 

Struck By Lightning- Heres a pic of my T MAXX with the F250 body. Ive already installed an OS .21 with thr Robbins conversion. This thing runs 50+ mph! Ive been through a few rear ends and tranny parts, but its a blast!!

 

Looks like the first order of business is some drop shackles and Eibach springs

 

HPI makes a 1/10th scale F150 flareside body. Hope the pic turns out.

 

Anyone know of a nitro powered R/C Lightning?

 

Sure, the blue HPI pic above is nitro powered. Damn fast also!

You can also put that body on any 1/10th scale vehicle. If you want the very best. Get a Serpent Impulse Pro, and stick on that body.

Either way they will smoke your L to 60MPH.

i have a HPI Nitro RS4 and it will smoke the L to 75mph!!
