RE: THE LOUNGE 2
He commented saying electric conversions were popular. You said it isn't (NO!). It is popular though thats a fact.
Funny how you mention not to turn it into a electric vs. nitro and then you seem to start that up when no one else is. [&:]
And I think 570 pages into a thread is alittle late to turn it into a electric vs. nitro thread.

I was doing some browsing and seen that converting Nitro to Electric is becoming more popular lately.

The Bruiser is certainly a great looking machine.. things are done to look just like a real truck! The frame and all! Because of that, it does gave up a little bit to look scale, though.. like there's no diff (or the axle would look too fat?).. ha!
It certainly would look SWEET on a shelf.. it is like too nice to run.. ha!
On the other hand, a F-350 / HiLux, I'd beat that up pretty bad without worrying too much! ha!
Hope you get well soon enough to build the TB-02 up!

RE: THE LOUNGE 2
as a relative newcomer i always chuckle when the electric vs. nitro controversy takes over a thread. of course i'm firmly on the electric side myself!
i wonder if and when entry level brushess systems will become common and cheap enough to replace the silvercan entirely?
what do you guys think? sub $50 sensorless brushless systems in 3-5 years?

It is closer than we think!
Sidewinder 5700 setup is like $130!
A silvercan w/ an ESC is probably like $40?!
In a few years, I bet the cheap BL will be like $80... getting close.. ha!

it's nice that all kinds of development has gone into battery technology over the past several years. looks like i came into the hobby at the right time.

RE: THE LOUNGE 2
good point about the MSC. seems like a lot of recently discontinued kits i've seen on the 'bay come with MSC, so i'm guessing they only shifted within the past year or two?
funny to imagine a Tamiya brushless system though!
