hpiracing.com is a good 10th scale site that includes a forum and links to other 10th scale sites. they're limited to hpi products of course.

if in case you like F1 like i do, go to formula1-rc.com or F1rl.com for 10th scale open wheelers.

there should also be a local 10th race club within a 90 mile radius near you that might have their own website. check with your LHS. you can also check out www.rccaraction.com They have a track directory which might list a track in your area.

1/10th scale

Maniac - as we discussed at the store last week - go with the losi truck! My son and i went out racing today and had a great wheel bumping time!!!

Maybe some time you and your brother can meet us out there - I'll let you run my truck.

losi

ok just to update everyone, i will be getting the triplex nt at the end of the summer (if i can wait that long) and for anyone looking take a really good look at this truck, it comes with a digital raido, a .15 engine thats fairly powerful and it is almost race ready right out of the box.
i regard to the duratrax trucks, the guys at my lhs said that the electric ones are nice and the nitro ones are good in theory but they do not perform well, they said they had not seen one that worked well with out many hop ups and or extensive tweaking

Viper Kid - OK, I know the truck now - have seen pictures of it in the Tower Hobbies catalog. Thanks.

MANIAC - good decision - I sent you a message to your home e-mail address. Tell your brother to charge up his batt. packs so if we can hook up this weekend he will be ready to run his truck. Then you will see why I told you to go NITRO!!!!!

the electric evader is a great truck (i have two). its an entry-level race ready truck. no, its not covered in carbon fiber or graphite, but its got aluminum threaded shocks, full bearings, etc. for a decent price. the electronics that are included with it arent half bad either.

I have an Associated RC-10 T3. Man that thing rocks! I've won so many races with it. I have had no mechanical problems with it. Just the receiver went out once. In the race, i also have lost a motor connector, so that put me back in 2ndfor the points. But now i'm back on top and i'm loving my truck. I have a Dodge Ram Body for it and a custom paint job. This is my truck.
