I have one of those. Great to chase pets around the house. I have a pickup one as well. I drive it into kitchen and daughter loads "an adult beverage" into back and I drive it back into living room. Need to get a tanker truck to eliminate trips to bathroom

sure it is. The gas ones are alot of maintenance plus they are really loud. We have a few babies in the neighborhood and my next door neighbors are about to have another next month. We had to take that into consideration. We dont really want alot of downtime with tune ups and crap. Just want to change batteries and commence to drinking more beer.

what do you have?Some sick ass nitro I built about 2 years ago. THey are fast as hell but you're right, a pain in the ass to keep running. My next one will be a battery for fooling around and I'll keep this one for the sheer amazement.
