At night I like to read; so I'm reading the TEC Part 1. On page 40 at the moment and skimming mostly through the bulls$!t. I also just ordered RC Control Car Action (Fathers Day Special $15/year). I had the very first issue and continued the subscription up until 1990.
Anyway, I open up to page 5 and Bam!! An ad for 2.4" rims! Now what is the performance gain using a taller rim?
I think I liked R/C better back in the day when buggys (Sand Scorcher, 1st gen RC10s, Scorpion) looked more "scale" or realistic. Now, everything is all out of proportion. Although Short Course brought back the "realism"...1/10 scale is more like 1/8 size.
Now that I see Kyosho is bringing back the Scorpion (re-release)...I did tell the wife if Kyosho brings back to life the Optima (my second hobby grade r/c) I'm so gonna buy one.
