Any Nitro R/C junkies out there?

Hey all

I like to goof around with my nitro R/c when i'm not workin' on other motorized things. I have a Traxxas Jato 3.3 and I am wondering if there's anyone out there that's into this stuff too that has seen a 2010 camaro body for them?

any 1/10 scale body should do, I'd like to paint it to match me car as well!

I was when I had money, but I never got into the cars. Mine all had wings. I seemed to have a talent for flying them into the ground

haha yeah I can see how that'd get expensive pretty quick.


I've had my Jato up around 60 mph. I actually put paddle tires on the back and do some snow skimmin' in the winter haha I think it'd look deadly with a 5th gen body on it

my husband has the revo and mini revo plus the summit. He has electrics I run the nitro's. When we have time, it's an expensive but fun hobby.

I have ten plus cars, both on-road and off-road. R/C is my addiction, now replaced by my Camaro.

I'm a brushless addict! I built a fastlane full aluminum chassis stampede a few months back and it rips. Lipo batteries are awesome compared to the trouble of the nitro cars. I love em.

I used to be a big r/c guy, but havent used my vehicles for a couple of years now.

I have a traxxas revo, hpi rs4 pro-2, and a hpi rs4 3SS.

At one time i had 6 or 7 vehicles but sold most of them. I had the most fun with my hpi rs4 mt. Nitro is fun, but i think if i do get back into it im going brushless.

I'm off and on with this hobby. It's just so expensive! But I've owned the following through out the years:

Savage Flux
Savage X 5.9
Savage S25
LST
LST2
Losi Crawlers
Revo's

I buy them, hop them up, break them, sell em' cheap. With spring time around the corner it's almost time to buy a new one. The Savage Flux was the greatest one ever made so far. That thing was insane!!!!

Nitro helis here. Used to do the cars, but there is so much more challenge in the helis.
