I run a hostile spur. Never ran steel cuz the hostile works just fine (when you don't have a cracked top plate ?). I run 19/55 on my 30.5, but I'd personally go for 20-54 because 19/55 feels under geared with my 7.5hp 30.5 and you'll have alot more power.
 
Always a sucker for a theme Now I pronounce you man and wife
3 rc cars I have wanted on and off
losi 5b gas
hobao hyper vt nitro
arrma infraction electric
i started out this month wanting to reduce my collection went fro 12 to 9 cars
sold 3 mini e Reno’s Vxl. Now my team associated sc8 maybe next on the chopping block. If I do I will let it go as a roller. Great truck I just over powered it with a O.S. 28 xz wish it had a 2 speed to make use of all the extra power on top.Will keep motor and electronics and put on hobao vt But won’t buy that right away.
now the Arrma I wanted since release but always out of stock so I have very little interest now.
Always wanted a losi b5 but was out of my reach at the time I wanted. But with the money I made of the Revos and with the addition of the sc8 it will be in my reach. I won’t be able to fix it up right away but that would be fine. I alway make sure whatever I sell money Goes back into the hobby. Keeps the wife out of my business. looking around on the forum some of the losi 5b builds got my desire going this is torment because I have to many cars but damb that thing is sweet. Plus I don’t own any losi 1/5 plus I love kits. Decisions decisions
Experienced this all to often

Fitting the kill switch got my new receiver today ,now Im up to 3 cars 1 remote. I wish I order the battery box sooner It’s only thing holding me up from taking it for a test run. Even still was 90 degrees today to damb hot out
Got one of these life battery’s never used one before. Now I have to figure out we’re to set battery. I have this Wii U kick stand see if I can mod it lick a tray to cradle body. For some lower protection since chassie has a lot of cut outs. Worth a try
Talk about thinking outside the box nice little mod and I will. i will zip tie battery to tray. When I need to remove tray all I need to do is pull out the body clips

Haven’t decided whether to do the motor yet , I’m leaning more towards picking up the losi 5b and hobao vt nitro roller. Sold the sc8 that thing sold quick. The Baja currently has a 28.5 head kit on it with CPI big bore pipe. Im starting to feel like any more power will make it hard to keep the front end down. I’m not a big fan of wheelies like to run with all 4 wheels on the ground. If I go bigger I will probably need to add some alloy to the front to keep it planted like arms and knuckles . I prefer big power on 4wd cars were it stays more planted.
 
Man I was ready to order some stuff and my final item sold waiting for winning bidder to pay. Little punk had the never to email me and said he changed his mind. Why bid on something if your not sure you want it. Caused last 2 bidders to miss out. eBay needs to charge a fee to people that do this kind of stuff. Now I have to relist my item

Can you not offer it to the last highest bidder?
