the Bisson pitts mufler works great.... the exhaust tips are pinched off which give better back pressure

RE: Getting kinda bored...
[quote]ORIGINAL: thehuntingterminator I've noticed lately that driving my RCs (any of them really) isn't nearly as fun as it used to be. I think I'm getting bored. I thought having a really nice crawler that I just traded for would revive my interest, but no cigar. So what do I to in order to have the kind of fun that I used to? Branch out into other areas like nitro or maybe even helis or planes? I mean I enjoy driving my Losi Comp Crawler and my brother's brushless Rustler, but not like I used to. I think I need to try something new like a blistering on-road car or a nitro car/truck (been eyeing the new Losi Ten-SCT). What do you all think?
