    It's easy not to destory one. Just run it in an open area and make sure that the tune is good.

    good luck with that. youll need to start a mamba MAX brushless motor and at least 6S lipo batteries to start lookin for that speed.

    Traxxas products are a hit and miss.

    My co-worker has a 2.5 T-maxx and it has had so many issues while other 2.5 owners have had zero.

    My HPI was amazing. I couldn't run it on foams though b/c it brought the car too low for the stock suspension. BOO. But they are hella fun. My GT2 was amazing, but 60 bucks a set of tires a day, nay nay. I wasnt having it anymore. I do miss my Spektrum DX3s though.

    nice cars you two. I guess I'll post pics of my brushless TC4 soon. I'm still trying to determine which battery to get. I've seen a few Mamba 9000 on 3s but the motor is rated for 2s.

    So all the new parts work out well. I have a guy on an R/C forum who messaged me asking if I'd give him a copy of my CAD file for my custom chassis. He wants to have one cut from carbon fiber, which I'm not sure is a good idea for a 1/10 nitro chassis, but he claims to have no CAD experience and basically wants to take my SolidWorks file into a shop and have it made for him.

    I'm a little reluctant. I don't care about making money, but I'm worried about protecting my design. Should I send him the file?
