No problem...I'm sure you'll end up liking whatever you get!

You can always look up the dimensions of the Pro vs. Regular mat, and then measure that out in your work area to see how they fit in...
I just checked, and O_O THE PRO-MAT IS HUGE!!!! I just put out a couple tape measures to get an idea of the size... 38 inches by 19 inches is HUGE!!! I am totally getting the pro-mat now, I really need a big mat like that.

LOL, TXT will be a money sink for sure!! I am not sure if AutoXMan would want to do that since he said he changes his mind every month....

But yeah, it was fun driving my Clod w/ his WW-2.. the Clod w/ silvercans w/ 14.4V is not slow.. it can run the WW-2 down with no problem.. ha!!

But if AutoXMan is putting the 19T in his WW-2, he will blow pass me easily, I think!

Guys, thought I would share with you what my puffer fish look like. The walls of the tank are dirty, since the snails are gone. I got some catfish that are supposedly compatible with the pufferfish to take care of the algae.

So you had the snail, and they clean the algae, but then, you got rid of them, and you need something else to clean that? Man, so complicated.. LOL!

Do you have any pictures of your puffer fish when it is all puffed up?

They ate snails about the size of their eye or slightly bigger whole. The bigger snailes they can stick their head in and yank the snail out of their shell. There are a couple of empty snail shells laying around [>:].

The fish are very small, they are called dwarf puffers. That is only a 10 gallon tank, but they are very aggressive so no other fish besides this one breed of catfish with spiny scales can survive with them. The puffer fish are also very smart, I was mentioning before they can learn what you look like.

Not to offend anyone that likes tanks but what do you do with them? They look like fun to build but besides looking at them do you just take them outside drive really slow and scare the cats.lol No seriously I just want to know?

cute puffer, I have always liked them, its not freshwater is it?
Funny you have one lately I have been reading a lot about fugu lol

Have something else for you auto, this is not the original I read.
"If you want a fast Silver Can, the motor you are looking for is an older motor that tamiya used to put in its kits. Its a Johnson motor, but it has 4 slots around the circumference of the can, where as the current lot only have 2. These motors are equivilent to the 23turn Black Sport Tune that Tamiya offers. A few guys use these at the TCS races to one up everyone and turn fast lap times. Tamiya allows it at their races. If you can find one thats the one to get."

I know somewhere there was a page explaining all the ways of extracting more power from a silver can too, including water dipping to break in brushes etc, cant seem to find it at the moment though, I suggest giving it a google...

Thanks man, I will see which silvercan came with the F201 I dumped off. I have heard about the water break in methods, I don't think I will be going that hardcore, as it is the novice class and tt-01 or tl-01 are the only cars allowed. But I will see which silvercan is the better performer out of the ones I have.

I have 3 pufferfish, they are called dwarf puffers and they are freshwater. Nasty little guys, no other fish can survive with them, except one breed of catfish. They sure are fun to feed
