no actually the rossi was only like $75, I bought it used from another guy. It was already tuned, so I didnt have much trouble with it. My provblem was that tires lasted about 2 weeks and nitro costs $20 a gallon! Thats like $75 a month just to keep your RC car running! (not including broken parts)

how many tanks did you run a day, more than 5 man!!!!......a gallon a month is a lot, and your only using 10 percent.....use 20 with a engine....itll go faster.......plus a gallon a month will tear your engine apart, i doubt itll last a year then

i'd run at least two tanks a day when I was using it regularly... so maybe more like a gallon every two months. It always seemed like I was getting horrible gas milage, but maybe it was just a bad perception.

well of course, if your running it hard, it will waste more gas.....depending on your tank, it should last you around 15 minutes, and of course, it matters if you ran it thinner and ****, forgot all the key terms and stuff.....but 10-15 minutes is average.....but 1 hp is a lot!

Here's one of mine in the works. Just waiting for the new motor! 
This has most of the upgrades but still plenty to go. I've gotten away from it since purchasing my real car to play with Those are aluminum rims in the background. I'm afraid to put them on because they will just get ruined

I've been out of it for a while but at the time I was going to get an EvoII or OS 12 motor. I want speed. The speed with my current setup, 2 speed gears, was in the upper 50's. I was clocked by a police officer's radar at 55mph going around a sweeping turn These things can be made to be very fast!

Crashed mine head on into a light pole so I went ahead and replaced the parts with aluminum (for flash). I went through tires like there was no tomorrow Went through bodies also.

I had the habit of full throttle take offs as soon as I got the car running. I left the antenna down on the control and once it went beyond it's range it just kept going straight and into a light pole
That's not the worst. My buddies car got stuck full throttle and was bouncing off curbs, walls, you name it before it landed upside down for him to get to it. It was hilarious!!!

Here's what can take a beating. It's not the best out there but is a good enough. It's pretty fast with a two speed. Some of the parts off my on-road are on this and that's why my on-road if down right now
