you are giving the gas car way too big of a break. the energy requirements not included in this are....... -energy requirements to clear trees for ground radar -data center computing power to store/process/render all the geographical and seismic data -workstation computer requirements to run 3d seismic simulations (workstations with -1000W power supplies running for days at full power processing data) -diesel and/or grid electricity requirements to power all the camps and equipment for the -rig workers which are in the middle of nowhere in -40C and below conditions -the tens of thousands of gal of gasoline and diesel fuel burned to power all the work trucks -the 100+ semi-truck loads worth of diesel required to move a drilling rig platform from point A to B -diesel gennys powering the command and equipment trailers supporting the rig without the things listed above, drilling and extraction will not happen period. to be honest this doesnt even tell half the story of the energy requirements.

Rob Vestrum commented on 12 Mar 2015

+pr5owner The energy requirements listed above are mostly for exploration, which is shared across millions of barrels of oil, so these energy costs will be nowhere near half of the per-gallon energy costs that Andrew lists.

Andrew Bell commented on 28 Feb 2015

@pr5owner, agreed - these are conservative approximate figures.I look forward to seeing your precise figures for all of the points you mentioned.

They claim in their brochure "A historic Streetcar ride from the heart of Old Strathcona to downtown Edmonton across the World's highest streecar-river crossing. This direction is as described above, heading toward Jasper Avenue, the main east-west main street. The parallel bridge below at the rive is the Light Rail new bridge to south Edmonton.

JetMechMA commented on 22 Jul 2012

Wait a minute....I didn't see any crossing gates at the street they crossed, and the street car didn't sound the horn. What gives?

johnjrp01 commented on 11 Oct 2013

Greg Hammett: Thanks. Yes, the bridge is made of steel. I'll change the description.

High Level bridge is made of steel.

Nightrider1700 commented on 26 Jul 2014

hi im just about to buy a summit it is waterproof as in properly waterproof yes?

Radio Control Race Days commented on 21 Mar 2015

Yeah it's a lot like the E Revo Brushless, fully waterproof

Maciej Uniatowski commented on 30 Dec 2013

Ford Raptor is awesome. hi, thank you my rc have waterproof clean it thank you.

RCSparks Studio commented on 05 Jan 2014

In this video.. yes :)

Maciej Uniatowski commented on 05 Jan 2014

oh 2012 f-150 yeah?

RCSparks Studio commented on 05 Jan 2014

Well said, Mr Wolfwood :)

Bearded Gamer commented on 05 Jan 2014

For sure. Be nice to have the bigger toys but, Damn responsibility and adultness gets in our way XD

RCSparks Studio commented on 05 Jan 2014

You know.. for the city driving I do.. that was exactly it. I could have bought the raptor.. but a Huge Engine like that in my city.. is just too expensive. I went with the Ecoboost. This is my old truck in this video. My new one has a 6.5 inch lift ..and nav. With the Pocket flares I had installed.. imo.. I like it better than the raptor.

Bearded Gamer commented on 05 Jan 2014

+RCSparks Studio™ / djmedic2008 didn't see the FX4 Tags. My bad XD in all honesty the fx4 is more practical than the raptor

RCSparks Studio commented on 05 Jan 2014

Lol.. "just a F-150". That F150 was just as expensive as a raptor ;) Its the FX4 Full load

Bearded Gamer commented on 05 Jan 2014

it's not a raptor.... just a F-150

Dirt Tracks: What is the most commonly raced electric class and or scale (2wd more commonly raced than 4wd or visa versa )?What are a few specific models that are typically competitive, I'm sure it depends 80 or 90% on the driver but what are some good competitive models .Right now I'm using a 2wd Slash (1/10), probably 20 mph with nimh's , I doubt it would be considered competitive, is 1/10 the most commonly raced scale ?

riverstrat commented on 05 Oct 2015

+bannablitz247 I'd love to try a skate park, but I like controlled runs and 10' in the air doesn't appeal to me, especially when 70% of the time you land on the front bumper....lol....thanks....

bannablitz247 commented on 05 Oct 2015

both 4wd and 2wd for suspension and what esc im not sure. i dont believe its waterproof but even i dont need water proof and i do some stupid stuff. i dont think that braking is hard on a motor but modern motors should last a long while regardless and with a brushed motor keep in mind brushes can be knocked loose so dont go jumping around like in the skatepark pain videos put up by djmedic2008

riverstrat commented on 05 Oct 2015

+bannablitz247 Thanks man, much appreciated, this is the Sidewinder 3 probably ? Waterproof... Let me ask you about braking, I love hard braking integrated with sneaking up on turns and such, is hard braking a lot of strain on the motor and the rest of the drive train with either brushed or brushless, if you happen to know....? Also , are you talking 2wd or 4 ?

bannablitz247 commented on 05 Oct 2015

+riverstrat I believe it is 1/10 short course and 1/8 buggy (no local dirt tracks). but if you want to race your slash i would recommend a lipo if the esc can handle it (and race rules), linear rate springs with the suspension set on the outer most mounting spots and mess around with the gearing, go to a local hobby shop and buy what they recommend for pinion and spur gears and if they try to convince you to go brushless dont go with the velinion its too expensive for what you get, personally i went with castle creations sidewinder s2 5700kv and it has treated me well

darian graham commented on 29 Oct 2014

wat is a good short course truck electric for racing for about 400 US dollars

Troy Robbers commented on 15 Apr 2015

The team associateds are all good. Check them out

Jesse Caron commented on 12 Jan 2014

where does u guys get the RC cars

Aaron Figa commented on 21 Jul 2014

+tommy wildman they get them from both. These are heavily upgraded tho. Upgraded wheels tires body motor suspention chasis, the whole deal. Very expensive to have a competition sct.

tommy wildman commented on 14 Jan 2014

where DO you guys get the RC cars they get them from hobby shops or online
