yes, brushless. I forget the exact servo but its a high end Futaba servo. Lots of torque, fast, metal gears, brushless too.

dude i used to love this cars and had like 8 of them, now i have realized how stupid they are... and most of the drivers are 30+ years old, i recommend you to sell them and buy a ps3 with modern warfare 2.

i am 16 years old

@manuel5845

Haha. Console gaming is for kids (you've proved that). I play MW2, on the PC with the big boys. Kids who think sitting on a couch playing videogames is a real hobby is a reason why the current generation of kids and teens are doomed.

[manuel5845]

@Helgaiden yeah dude i think you are right console gaming is for kids but dont you feel embarrased when you are driving your rc car and people stares at you like thinking oh this guy is a total dumb?

[Helgaiden]

@manuel5845

Nah the dumb ones are people like you who think like that. Nobody stares, people just come up and ask "what are those?" and then immediately ask "how fast do they go?" and "how much do they cost?"

Your close-mindedness baffles me.

[Bigbbiker]

are you driving the blue one?

[Helgaiden]

@Bigbbiker: Blue and white with black rims, yes.

you fell apart you coulda won

I race an e-firestorm flux too, and i find myself usually winning :-). We dont have enough stadium trucks for a full heat so we race the 4x4 short course trucks too. The Firestorm stomps those too. Rustlers are the funniest, comedy handling.

[CatastrophalXdruid]

What's the speed of this car, and how much does it cost?

[CatastrophalXdruid]

1:45 is a nice jump

@manuel5845

Im allmost 16 (just like you) and how do i come to still like them ?

its a real hobby , the fun is to improve your cars step by step , probably you've never found that... and anyway ps3 is for little kids , if you play games , play on PC.
