I'm not big on LRP, I know I'm 100% Associated, but LRP isn't exacly what I'm liking right about now. I've had the F1 Pro reverse, and that Runner with my rtr T3. The Runner burned up kinda fast with the stock set-up, and the F1 Pro Reverse's shiny paint ships off very easily, and comes off the servo tape very fast. I solved it by chiping all of the other paint off, but when i tried to take it out, the bottom popped out. Personally, I like Novak over LRP. Don't get me wrong, LRP makes good stuff, better than any of the Duratrax and other stuff like that, but Novak is REALLY durable. I've had 2 Rooster, Explorer II, and have a Cyclone TC2 coming, and have yet to have a bad experience.

I don't think you need any, just follow the steps above, and you should be ok. Custom user text is near the bottom of the page.

Chocolate covered coffee beans...hmmm, that different. Why eat healthy? I'm a pig eating anything and everything I can find and don't gain an ounce. 5' 10" and 122 pounds. I don't exercise either, just wok out.

I'm going to get 2 Firebird XL's tomorrow, not to sure if they are fun or not. I want to use one, and my friend use the other and play some sort of game, like chicken or something. Maybe well make our own little show, I dunno. Are they as fun as touring cars?

Cool. There is a school playground about 200 yards from my house that we can go fly at, and it's never even breezey, so i'm hoping it will be fun. Can't wait. Are they very durable, fast, handle well?

well im not sure if a playground would be the best place but yes they r quit durable and u can replace EVERTHING on the plane. As far as handaling u shouldnt have TOO mcuh trouble once the trim is adjusted

What kind of body will fit on my RC10LS? I have some bodies but the posts on the car are short and it looks like i'd have to cut the body up really bad to get them to fit right.
