Personally, I feel like Broncos are way over done, but I guess there's a reason for that, they are cool. I really like that body in the pic, but it doesn't look like there's much room to cut away at the wheel wells, so you wouldn't have to mount it too high to prevent tire rub.

No Jeeps.

Do they make a body of the old CJ8 Scrambler?

I would just look for an old school pickup body myself.

Tons of options for that. '70 C-10, '68 and '71 F-150s, early to mid '50s, , '40s, '30s, model T? My eyes were bugging out trying to decide.

Not a huge jeep fan. I do love the scrambler though its a shame no one makes one. I also want a m715 body but I don't think I'll find that.

41 Willy's Pickup would be nice.

Not so much my style. I really love Yotas, and I love that FJ body. Someone would make a million if they would release a damn lexan Toyota P\U,

The FJ is cool, but the old school Land Cruiser is Cooler.

I have a question about my charger. I have a Superbrain 960. It says its a "peak charger" From what I understand a peak charger reads the voltage and adds the needed amount of power to the battery, right? So with my nicd packs is there a need to recharge? I'm asking because I get bored when my pack is dead enough that I can't drift, but it will run for another 15 minutes, lol.

NiCds need to be discharged completely before storing them away or recharging, because they'll develop cell memory. That is probably part of the reason your power is dropping off before the battery is dead. If you cycle it a few times, you might even be able to get more drift time out of it.

This is going to sounds dumb, but to cycle a battery do I just charge it up and discharge it?

Fully discharge the battery, then charge and discharge fully again. I'm not sure the trick I did years ago with my NiCds is still a wise idea. I mounted a automotive 12v tail light to a plug and after running I plugged it into the battery until the light went off.

I didn't think anyone was using NiCds anymore. I think only Duratrax puts them in their RTR's.

hpi puts them in their RTRs. I've bought a lot of the prianha 1500 packs that are $10 because they are cheap and they work.

I just ordered this set right here.

I figured its not a bad deal since one venom 3000 pack is 28.99.

Nice bronco. I would love to get a bronco, but the price is a bit high for my budget, lol.

Go with the Toyota. The new losi body is pretty sweet and looks like a mini if you squint.
