If you find yourself siting in front of Doctor Phil on his tv show,then maybe you should think about if you r/c addicted

Well I guess that's only half as bad Sean.

And you really like the 1/16 that much, huh?

I have not seen one up close & personal yet. That could change things maybe......

There's a few reasons I like them...

Add lipo, swap out the Rx for Spektrum and it's ready to bash.

If it breaks, it's a heck of a lot cheaper to fix than anything larger.

Batts are much cheaper than 1/10th or 1/8th scale.

It's much easier to drive one of these in the street in front of my house without fear of damaging the truck itself, someone walking down the road or a parked car.

It's fun as heck to drive.

Skellyo, I can help you with your addiction. Just send me your extra mini-revos!

And do you mean heck of alot cheaper to fix because of parts? or because when one breaks, you take the other off the shelf and put your batteries in it and continue running

even better! when running a long main at your local track, dont do a battery swap, just throw mini-revo #2 on the track!

I'm pretty sick but not as bad as many others. I usually own 10 RC's at any given time and have always hade a few Nitro's or a fuelie in the stable. January this year I went 100% electric and aint looking back. I have built several hundred and sold them or over the years. Ben in the Hobbys about 20yrs, but these last 6-7 is where I have spent the most coin by far. It's all BL and Lipos fault.
