Need to find something to do in the evening, to help get over killing myself at work every day.

A couple of years ago I bought a Kyosho GP, somthing or other, and had great fun maxing it out. So now I feel the need to have some more fun.

So what i'm looking for is a 1:8 scale truck that has lots of hop-ups that allows me to enjoy a protracked build. To be honest I enjoy the build much more than using. The more complex the build, the better.

So where should I start looking. Oh, I liked the quality of the Kyosho stuff, so keen to avoid cheapO rubish.

a revo or savage monster truck would be your best bet as they can be hopped up a lot, i can post a picture of my fully hopped up revo if you'd like

Yeah, thats what I was thinking. Had a bit of an expensive Rolex moment whilst at the Italian GP recently so it might have to wait a mo. else the misses will think i've forgotten about her....

I bought a mag to look at but am a bit confused about the exact line up for the Savage. Basically which one is the best and what hop-ups should I order...

Goal is, really, to have a protracted build time and I do like carbon fibre/billet parts... So what would the ultimate shopping trolly look like?

Wow what a great vid .. how do they get them to change direction in mid air? clever use to engine revs and gyroscopic effect of the rotating wheels? can they brake individual wheels or something in mid air to get this effect happening? I was absolutely amazed by what those things can do!! awesome.
