Traxxas Nitro 4-Tec 3.3 RTR with 2.4 Radio Review
Youíre a keen RC car enthusiast, who loves the joy of seeing miniature vehicles come alive, roaring and racing away in their miniature scale form, powered only by nitro fuel or rechargeable batteries. Youíre not content with just ordinary racing and getting by, you want the winning edge, and you know youíre prepared to put your skills to the test for RC racing supremacy. The Traxxas Nitro 4-Tec 3.3 RTR with 2.4 Radio might just be that elusive RC car youíve been looking for.
Be forewarned though, the Nitro 4-Tec 3.3 is not built for just any ordinary RC car hobbyist. I was lucky enough to bump into this hot-looking model at my local hobby store, which sports a grey, sporty chassis with red and blue highlights. Armed with 2.0 mesh wheels, I figured that this RC car certainly makes a powerful statement from the way it looks. Sure enough, I was proven correct, as looking further at the specs, Traxxas assigned the highest skill rating of 5, indicating this model is only for expert drivers.

Stampede Monster Truck RTR w XL-5 Battery and Charge
I played with RC cars a long time ago as a kid, and in the process of growing up, I got too busy and forgot about them for quite a while. But while shopping and browsing around in a hobby shop one day, something awakened in me when I bumped into the Stampede Monster Truck RTR w XL-5 Battery and Charge.

Traxxas Nitro Stampede RTR 2WD Monster Truck
Having played with RC cars and trucks before a long time ago, I was starting to miss those nostalgic, childhood days. So hopping over to my neighborhood hobby store to browse around, the Traxxas Nitro Stampede RTR 2WD Monster Truck caught my attention. Here was a model that looked incredibly sporty, with its fiery hues of red, white, and black. With rather large and mean-looking tires, there were also other models on display that looked just as good that were battery operated. After some careful thought, I decided to give this nitro model a shot so I bought it. Although the battery-charging models looked cleaner and more convenient, I decided to go with the Nitro to get the full feel of having to fill up the RC truck with nitro gas and all, which should be like filling up a car with gas. So in addition to the RC truck, I bought the Traxxas’ air filter and a quart of Nitrotane Race 20%.
After reading the instructions and filling up the new baby with nitro gas, I fired up the Nitro Stampede using its EZ-Start push-button electric engine.… Read the rest…
