I towed an mj with an f150 with the tow package...you couldn't even tell it was there. Very smooth and plenty of power

Ecoboost is a beast of a motor!

I don't like the idea of a turbo gas motor laden with emissions equipment for the long haul.

You don't like anything.

Nice truck. I don't think I could ever go to an extended cab after owning a crew cab

I thought so too until I noticed it had more room than our compas.

Yes 5.0

Blew the Trans up in the tmaxx right after breaking the motor in...

Sounds like you got to much power there in that truck. Time to upgrade everything

 

[macgyvr]

I was on the last break in tank. Flipped it...tried the ol accelerate to get it back all fours...

mac 'didn't work and broke' gyvr

 

[Jeepguy91]

Ouch. Time to go to Phil's up there and get parts. That's where we are gonna stop at tomorrow when we are up there. You want my extra fuel I have? I don't have a use for it.

 

[macgyvr]

Yeah bring the fuel. Thanks.

I'll look online and see what they want for a tranny...

I can prolly buy an aw-4 for less :/

mac 'more tranny talk in the mwc' gyvr

 

[MKR5150]

Every kind of wheeling costs. All this RC talk makes me want to bust my NightCrawler out but not till After the buggy is done.

 

[w_howey]

This one is in Custer, WI and i think its been there for 26 years. it is fully put on by the MREA

which are you talking about? i may be interested in checking that out.

EDIT: i Googled it. yea i might go to that one also

If you do.. Let me know. I'll buy you a beer.

 

[ExTankerGuy]

Good choice on no ecoboost. They're nothing but problems

Huh?

 

[ExTankerGuy]

Picked this up today. No eco boost, couldn't justify extra cost.

Nice truck!

 

[Smash Hole]

I've got a Revo trans in mine. Before the 3.3 maxx's came out.

Biggest bastard of an RC

 

[macgyvr]

Mine was a 2.5 originally, so I blew the 2.5 Trans behind the 3.3...

mac 'debating electric' gyvr

 

[87manche]

With all this talk of RCs does anyone have a spare radio and reciever? Id do with a traxxas 2.4ghz if anyone has one they upgraded from. Im doing the electric conversion on my OFNA Ultra LX-1 need to find battery trays. Any thoughts on the Mamba Sidewinder 1/8 or any other cheaper plug n play systems out there? And will i still need brakes?

a brandy new GT-2 is like $20.

the GT3c with a lipo and 10 model memory is less than 50.

Both are decent. My GT3C has been just fine. Extra receivers are dirt cheap, when they're in stock.

 

[87manche]

You don't like anything.

I like 4 liters and 5 speeds.

and brushess motors.

Just went and test flew the super sportster with new radio. Works well. Had it trimmed with linkages, so it didn't need but a few clicks of elevator trim.

Too much expo though, I need to cut that in half, just don't like it much.

We're supposed to meet up with the District III VP tomorrow. He's driving up from Parkersburg to test fly his 1/4 scale cub on floats. I guess our little flying site is top notch.

 

[Jeepguy91]

Sounds like I'm gonna need to swing over sometime and learn how to fly a plane. Have never tried it but think it would be neat
