Thanks Dudes. Car needs M&H stickers on it.

Here's a video I put together of the 8.86 pass. I don't have much exterior footage on the passes, we were all busy racing!!...

HAHAHA!!!!! I love the music Bob. And the time slips in the car flying around after you pull the chute. Great shot showing how to stay on the gas even after you pulled the chute to let it catch. Man that car tracks straight.

You know what's funny about that music? I was looking for the typical, "I'm a badass, rock god, guitar slaying, mind melting metal soundtrack".
I clicked on the track we ended up using and laughed my *** off. that's how it ended up in there.

Everybody I talked to said "stay in it" to let the chute billow up. It hit hard. If you listen on the video, you can hear it POP when it opens.

Man you can really hear it lay down in 4th like you said. No matter what you do or don't do to the car it is very impressive considering it has a stock port head! Congrats and keep at it!

Congrats, love this car. Seems so simple but there is so much work into it! Add some weight in her and come out east for the Outlaw shootout!

You know whats crazy, when I was in middle school and part of highschool I was big time into nitro r/c trucks. I remember seeing advertisements for Stormer Hobbies in the R/C Car Action magazine that I use to follow up on. Infact, I actually bought my Traxxas Tmaxx from you guys! Small world. Its cool to see that as I've gotten older and moved onto a different hobby, the people associated with what got me interested in engines and cars are out there making 8 second passes!

And we're still here taking care of the RC guys. T-maxx, great trucks. They really changed the market. For the better. Now it's all about Stadium trucks. And courtesy of the brushless power, they're AWESOME!

Lol yep! Im not up to date on all of the r/c stuff but my little brother keeps buying helis and airplanes. He just keeps breakin them like theres no tomorrow!! I like messing with the nitro stuff but its just so messy and expensive. Electric tc3's were pretty cool to me tho. Especially with brushless technology. I cant imagine how they run.
