  1. You are absolutely correct about the speed of the new brushless motors. I thought about that as I logged off, but I was heading to the bed.... I'd still start with electric with a beginner.
  2. If he's dead-set on Nitro, I'd suggest the Traxxas Nitro Sport. It's a RTR (Ready-To-Run) out of the box. This package comes with a radio. It also has electric start, so you don't have to mess with pull-starting or upgrading to electric start in the future. Even though they are RTR out of the box, most - if not all - nitro engines will require some adjusting of the fuel settings and breaking in of the engine. You MUST read the manual. You can't simply plug it in a drive. And ALWAYS perform after-run maintenance. Again, you MUST read the manual. Because they are faster, there is generally more wear and tear. You'll be replacing fuel, oil, other fluids, and parts such as tires, shocks, bodies more regularly. You'll need a starter box for the electric starter, and a charger. I'd suggest going to: Hobby Lobby 5614 Franklin Pike Circle Brentwood TN 37027 (866) 512-1444 or Danielle's Hobbies 4230 Westcap Road Whites Creek, TN 37189 (615) 299-0371 They are located at the intersection of I-24 and Old Hickory Blvd, like you're going to Clarksville. Wayne, the owner, can be an ass sometimes (his wife is great), but they are very knowledgeable and helpful.
  3. Has he had any experience with the faster electric R/C cars/trucks? If not, I'd suggest he start there. This will help give him a better understanding on how they operate and how to drive them. Nitro is expensive enough as it is, and learning on a Nitro can quickly become VERY expensive in costly repairs. Plus, electric is so much easier to operate and maintain. One of the biggest problems with Nitro is the engines. They can sometimes be very difficult to keep running properly.
  4. What kind of information are you looking for?
  5. Are politicians who possess HCP's allowed to carry in places where the average HCP holder is not?
  6. Kind of fitting with the recent DNS issues we had here on TGO. http://www.wsmv.com/story/17613582/hundreds-of-thousands-may-lose-internet-in-july Here's the direct link to see if your computer is infected. All you have to do is click on the following link. It will tell you if your computer has been infected. http://www.dns-ok.us/ If your computer has NOT been infected, you do NOT have to do anything. If your computer has been infected, click on the following link for directions on how to solve the issue. http://www.dcwg.org/ My computer was fine, so I have no idea how easy or difficult it is to resolve any issue if you've been infected.
  7. At least I'm not the only one. Just wanted to make sure.
  8. I've stayed with them because they are convenient and have been trouble-free. But this was the last straw for me.
  9. Could it be just a coincidence that I received an email containing the same information that was on the website that TGO was being directed to during the DNS attack? Could they have possibly obtained our email addresses? Based on what I've read on other forums regarding the same group oh hijackers, members of other forums who were attacked also received similar emails. This was found in my spam folder.
  10. Welcome to TGO. Make yourself at home and enjoy your stay.
  11. Well, it looks damn good in the pictures.
  12. How well does DuraCoat stand up to handling? Does it peel or chip?
  13. Oh, those are yours? I meant...Man, those things are sweet.
  14. But you scratched the stock... That's a wonderful example of a modernized Mosin. Congrats!
  15. Luckily for the bad guys, the cracker lives in an anti-2A city.
  16. If you drive a vehicle that was built after 1996, chances are you already have one installed in your car. This is nothing new.
  17. I noticed the cardboard box. Is S&W just doing that with the smaller guns? My M&P 40 Pro Series came in the blue plastic case.
  18. Yeah, that's why I decided to inquire about other options.
  19. Neither are something I'd do to my dogs, but the back of a pickup truck seems to be more widely acceptable than on top of your vehicle. There are obviously diffevent levels of love and care where pet owners are concerned. I wouldn't tie my dogs to a tree, nor would I leave them in penned up in a small enclosure in the back yard. But both somehow seem perfectly acceptable to a great number of people around here. To each his own, I guess.
  20. I don't currently pay any fees for the accounts themselves. There are fees for using non-BoA ATM's.
  21. I live in Hendersonville (Nashville) and have been thinking about switching to a more local/regional bank. Who do you bank with, and what are some of the perks/benefits you receive with said bank? What, if any, drawbacks have you noticed while dealing with said bank?
