Default Hi rccherocon

I am in NE Tacoma and regular the shop (Fantasy World) off of 72nd ST past Tacoma mall. They have a good selection of Traxxas and Losi stuff.

Hard to pass up some of the online deals for chargers.

This is what I use: http://www.amazon.com/Thunder-Balanc.../dp/9269806723

You could probably find a better deal out there on price.

rch is the way to go. Bought my ax10 from scott at tacoma rc changed the motor to a 10.5t and got to race it around the track, pretty funny watching a crawler catch air.
