Doin' something different

iMogal · 09-13-2006, 10:31 AM

Well, I've changed my mind about a new conroe system.
As you can see in my sig, I have a good ol' trusty computer
running... it plays everything I need it to, even at 16x12(40+fps)
Good enough. So insted of a $3000 upgrade (fromt the ground up, monitor included)
I'm gunna get an RC.

Here is the one I have ordered: http://www.traxxas.com/products/elec...x_stampede.htm

Its $300 after a few nessecary upgrades, like bearings, stronger front
bumper, aluminum gears ect... Theres a local group here in town that
runs street racers, and a couple guys run some off roaders. I've introduced
myself, and met some good people. I may have even conviced some guys at
work to get one, especially after this:

I may still get a conroe system, but probly only after a major disaster with
my current rig. I'll still be hanging around, but spending a little more time over here: http://www.rcuniverse.com/

I've also commited virtual suicide on WOW... been playing for almost 2 years!

I'll still be around, and keeping up with whats going on...
There anyone here into RCs?
