I'd like to meet some quarter and fifth scale racers, if any are lurking ....

Personally, I have a 1/4 scale yankee Suzuki Vitara (off-road capable) and an FG EVO 1/5 scale on-road.

Can you post any photos of them?

Thanks...as my R/C education continues...

The jet car is a FG i think.

That jet car looks intriguing!

This thread needs an extra pic or two......

Status: offline 		I just picked up a used 1/4 scale and plan to "not" hit the track this afternoon. This guy was selling two of them, so the owner of one of the LHS bought one and I purchased the other. The plan is to get together later and race it. So far I've only ran it down the street.

What do you guys recommend for upgrades? Brakes? So far the only thing I have changed is the receiver and its batteries. I use JR's crystaless transmitter/receiver set up and the batteries didn't seem to be holding a charge--they were some old stuff.

For brakes, you might try- http://www.dannysqscale.com/

Upload a pic of your car, that we can click on, if you'd like.

Well, back to the race!

Status: offline 		There are lots of R/C pictures and a few videos on my home page: http://www.tnbproductions.com

Right now, there are only 2 photos of the 1/4 scale in the "Radio Control Cars" section (they also enlarge when clicked on). I'll probably add a few more photos or a video later since it looks like it is still a go for the 1/4 track this evening. I just purchased a new digital camcorder so I have been playing with it as well as trying to figure out Adobe Premier.

My 1/4 scale looks like the models on the following website link with the exception that it has "Dale Earnhardt" above the side windows.

Thanks for the link. Is anyone coming here for the Super Nationals on October 15-18? The Hobby Visions convention is also here on October 11 & 12.
