Hey all;
I know some people on here have some R/C cars. Well I blew my motor on my HPI RTR3 and was wondering if anyone has an extra motor laying around for one of these? I threw a bearing in it and totally destroyed the motor. Never seen that happen before to one of these. I love these things too. Let me know if anyone has one. Anyone else got something similar? Mods?

I used to have a Tmaxx. I ended up swapping motors in it cause I blew the stock one and it was a POs anyways. It was pretty fun but I spent most of the time tuning the stupied shit. I would deffinately buy an electric one next time. Sometimes I wish I still had it.

Gas is much better IMO. More stuff to do. Electric is ready to go all the time and less stuff to go wrong, but gas is best.

i have a gas car... forget who makes it... but its a 2 speed, 4WD little gas "nitro" car... its fast as F*CK!!! 60+ mph for sure! but the front left suspention and wheel are trashed... and i've been looking for parts for about 4 months now with no luck... but i love that thing! even have a DSM body for it! ;) only thing is i cant drive it because of the front end (Damn Curbs do some damage at 60+mph...)

Dont' have to tell me about damage. I've had to do some many rebuilds on the suspensions on both mine and my bros (identical cars). And yes I have the Eclipse, all Fast and Furious... literally. I put pics up later. Had headlights too, till I shattered them badly. Mine does 60 also.
I've got 2 hobby shops here that I can get any parts for them. Let me know what model and all and Ill get you prices if you want.

I got rid of mine cause it loved to crash into mailboxes, too expensive to keep up with.

I got a new camera and took a nice pic of the blown motor. That rod was straight at one time ;)
