RE: Where to buy Nitro Formula F1????

I think the F1 cars are a bit too fragile. I imagine those that would race these would be a more mature audience since they wouldn't be the fastest nor the best handling. They would be for those that...

RE: What are they worth

if any of those engines are open rocker four strokes, then you might be able to get a pretty penny for them. i've bid many time on NIB open rockers on ebay but each time they sold for more than $200....

RE: Flying Sitting Down ?

i think it depends on the club you fly at. the one i fly at is not well regulated. there is no control of who can fly only when certain types of planes fly (15-60 size, 120 size and larger and...

RE: ASP engines with free shipping

i'm sure they are from the same manufacturer, sanye. its the quality standards that may (or may not be) different. with a relatively good brand, magnum, they will need to stick to more stringent...

RE: Soldering Iron Burn
