this is a vid from one of last summers bashes. the one going off the doubled ramps is my storm.
its also in the opening shot.

dang, u do beat that thing up!!! lol


anyone know about the hyper ST ? ?

http://www.nitrohouse.com/ofna_hyper_st.htm

I've heard it handles very well and has a TON of steering (even with the wider adaptors installed). Very quick aceleration even with a .21

body looks gay

GS sucks ballz IMO... has a GS storm with HUGE money invested and would break without even hitting anything... Just accelerating down the straight dumb sh!t would shear like cvds....

but u can jump garbage cans all day

i was breakin in the engine in it and brand new GS cvds would break where the ball goes inside the axle cup! no chit!

no shit

700$ for that......no way............I will get used crt and get a good modified for that much =/

Gil is very proud of his Eight line

It all comes down to what you want to use it for....no matter what you buy you end up with crazy amounts of $$ invested. Pay upfront for a Prospec version or pay later with alot of upgrading.

Guys who are full on racers needing to stay on the cutting edge & be competitive will sell off whats not working & buy the newest flavor of the month. Others will keep spending money trying to remain or become competitive.

Here is another photo i found of the XuT, this thing is kicking major tail overseas......and Korn is doing well with it in the states, Guys are making faster lap times with this truggy then with buggy..........I think im gonna get one soon. 400$ at Amain Hobbies. The kit is 90% ARR.......it has engine / pipe included, but no radio gear......Sounds like a sweet deal.I also read Fioroni will be making full parts line for this truck.

there is only one guy in the states doing well with that, korn and believe me it doesnt look like that. ud be much better off with a mugen or a jammin

since im a newb to nitro pretty much ( i only have a ofna 9.5 my first nitro car ), plz tell me what looks bad about this, is it product support? weak parts? Everything i have read has been positive bigtime, man i had read an article off GS website with korn saying he test box stock truck for a month with no loose/ damaged / worn out parts, he also said this truggy had more steering then any other truggy he ever drove, He also kicked Jeremy Kortz's but at Hot Rod Hobbies in Ca in a friendly match they had.......They raced each other, prototype vs. prototype ( kortz-Hyper ST ) Korn won the qualifiers and the mains.......but yeah i like the Jammin's and Mugen's, but im on such a tight budget right now, I know......wrong hobby...lmao.......thx for advice man

well u can just see the quality of the alum parts and stuff its just not there, the fioroni and option parts ya good stuff but have u seen the price tag on that shit, if ur on a tight budget it will kill u. plus parts support not too many shops carry parts cuz its not the "in" brand, and the parts come from over seas. You wouldnt believe how good of a deal u could get on a kit that is got everything in it to get going thats been barely used. of course it says its great on the GS site and why wouldnt korn say its awesome they pay him, he likes the truck and all that. I like the TTR stuff they dont pay me but im sponsored and i cant say enough good about everything they have. Everyone else around here says its garbage but thats not even close to true but ne way. Check around on ebay and stuff u will find some killer deals. The TTR St1 is a great RTR, id say dump the motor and change the diff oils and ur set, i raced mine for along time stock as did alot of the factory drivers.

thx a lot for advice man, my friend had an Eb-4...the first 1/8 scale i ever seen.........it rocked!!! Yeah man, I have been watching Ebay, and will continue to do so.....BTW they claim the aluminum is 7075 cnc, and the shock towers are only 3mm, So yeah, I agree on that note.

they have vastly different standards of aluminum over seas 7075 isnt always 7075 i know i got some stuff on my cars that says its 7075 but the its garbage

Everything is different over their, I hope when im ready to buy, someone, somewhere has a good X1crt roller for sale or something equivalent, I am just leary of Ebay in general....lol

ya i hear ya chad just picked up a nice x5T its all good. just gotta know what to look for

tracks over seas are INCREDIBLY DIFFERNT thank the tracks we have here too... So your not comparing apples to apples

apples to oranges

No... I said what i ment d!ckface.... Stop correcting me...

man did u go on the rag today or something....link me to the zombie game again lol

I found it through the penguin bash with a twist link...

stop thread jacking!!!!! hahaha j/k lol
