Hey guys my name is Sam and I am live in Cleveland. I am a toal R/C newbie.

I have recently gotten into R/C cars through a friend.

I purchased a pro-pulse B100 from Radio Shack, It seems some people are not too fond of this car, but the price was right for me (I am a person who might drive this for a few days get bored and never drive a R/C again)

One of the shocks cracked and it leaked oil, do I have to buy the Pro-Pule shocks or can I buy any shocks? I looked in the manual that comes with it but its not much help. Also, how do install the shocks.

Also, to replace the bumpers, do they need to be that brand?

I am a VERY VERY inexperienced driver and really don't know much about this hobby is there a web site with FAQ's that can help me along the way?

Thanks so much,

Sam
