Your son will hate you for life and marry a fat obnoxious cow like Rossie O'donnel if you don't buy this truck for him!

I've got Porsche bills up the ying-yang, help a pelicanite out and buy my truck!

Dave, how loud is this thing? Could I get away with driving it in parks? I live in Seattle.

One last question. On a scale of 1 to 10, how pissed is my wife going to be when I come with a new toy?

They sound like an angry swarm of mosquitoes played over a loud speaker. It will depend on the park.

In this video, are race trucks, far lighter and with more powerfull motors then what is for sale here, but will give you the idea of the sound. For reference, his T-maxx is probably about 10lb's with the stock wheels and tires pictured, the trucks in this video are in the 6-8lb range, with probably about twice the power.

http://www.andrewscars.com/stuff/truck.wmv

Dug up a video someone took back when I was racing, everything is stock or modded T-maxx, except for the Orange one in front, which is electric.
http://www.andrewscars.com/stuff/racestart.wmv

I want to get back into it, but want to put the 944s in good shape first. In that video, I was racing a bone stock out of the box E-maxx with stock tires, cheap batteries. I had just gotten into it, and I guess I was a good driver, as I had lots of people come by trying to see what I'd done to make the thing so fast. I didn't even have tires suited for the track...

I would run sports car bodies - always could tell my truck out there, Porsche GT1, Mclaren F1, TVR, Ferrari, whatever.

We have the newer REVO version that I bought for my sons. Really amazing and very well engineered. Pretty loud, but not obnoxiously so.

VERY FUN! Buy one and you'll be hooked. I haven't felt compelled, but I'd bet a YouTube search would yield dozens of juveneille hoonage with these little monsters.

It's really not that loud at all, not annoying anyways at all, parks would be perfect for it. If you really want, I can fire it up and use my dB meter on it. Juan and Pablo in their ricer Honda thumping out Rap and fart can mufflers are way way louder. The truck has quite a quiet muffler on it too.

Just put it on the scale, 9 pounds. Yes it is amazing watching it soak up bumps and flying across my lawn...EXCELLENT engineering really.

Both myself and John Walker who is presently my money magnet say thank you for saving my marriage.

YES it is very fun, I'd love to sell it to another seattle pelicanite.

Loud? Hell, you could run it in your living room. I suspect Dave has. Come to think of it, that's probably why he has to sell it... never mind...

R/C Truck is still for sale, I need money for new T-bars and front re-valved struts!

Price reduced to $300! I'd rather see it go to a pelicanite than craigslist or ebay.

thanks!
