I was just looking at that the other day. Although I'm attracted to high end race stuff, I don't race in any serious capacity. A car like that would probably scratch my itch for another 1/8 scale nitro.

It's been 20 years since I had a nitro 1/8 scale buggy / truggy. OFNA Dominator truggy and a thunder tiger something.
This FG pictured with the OFNA ended my nitro days for the most part.

Lol. Good idea. I don't even remember what mine had on them now.

That’s a good deal, even though losi is….. well meh on most things. But a good deal none the less. I also would nab that up but I want some other things right now!

Thanks for the pictures.
Personally, I am a huge fan of nitro. The maintenance is a pain in the a$$ but there is nothing like it.
If you understand how they work and know a little about tuning once you get them dialed in, they are a blast.
I hear a lot of complaints about fuel cost, fouling out glow plugs and such.
If I am out playing and having fun, then who cares about the cost of fuel (about $16 a quart around here), and I really can't remember the last time I had a plug go bad. I am sure I have had this happen but it has been a while.

I also use an os plug, but it’s the proper type plug for my engine. My SH runs and tunes beautifully. I have one nitro car, it’s an old Xtm xterminator and it’s a blast to drive.

I love nitro also, it was savage x 4.1 that got me total hooked on the hobby. I still have a soft spot for nitro and hpi, I completely understand the temptations and how hard to resist it can be ....
I was getting parts yesterday and had my hands all over the xrt ultimate!!! This time I managed to hold off but it was really hard!

Here are some of mine. A few more on the shelf in the basement. Some pictured are runners and some retired to the museum.

Ah museum! Yes the wonderful end to a great car that was always fun until they stopped having spare parts!!!!
I have a few that are in museum status and can't seem to even want to get rid of them, just seeing them, holding them or even a leisure drive makes it all worth while to hang on to keep the memories.
It's really hard for me to give up and I will come up with all kinds of ideas to get that old rig back to functioning!
Currently coming up with ideas to bring my yeti xl back to working ....

They are all runners but parts have become harder to find.
The Revo runs , it is only a 2.5 so it is older.
Slash and Jato are weekend warriors , not afraid to run those. Newer and parts not an issue.
The other three will most likely just stay there for now.
