ok,

to all those that are offering their assistance, thank you!

to those that just think that i am trying to "get one over", this isnt the intent.

maybe i didnt make myself too clear in my posts. i know that there are some companies that are out there that are "willing" to offer free samples/magazines/gear just to get thier names out there. if you dont think this works, think again. i have just arranged a couple of free subscriptions to a couple of R / C mags out there for the ship to enjoy while we are gone. i will be getting them, put them in the barber shop, and everyone can enjoy them while they wait their turn.

as for the parts that i "can" use, i own a superstar.40 for a plane (which has suffered rodent damage and i need to rebuild but it is all wood construction project for when i have a lot of free time at home) and as for my truck, the parts are super cheap. i am not gonna ask for anything like a brushless set up. i am content with stock pieces but shipping and handling is usually twice more then the part itself (dont believe me?http://www.nitrorcx.com/exdy1scretor.html) .

if there are others out there that have these that they dont need and wish to help out somebody else, thats great. do you have "older" parts that you have upgraded from that still works like a champ but just collect dust and are really not worth the effort to try to sell? see what i am getting at?

but i am getting away from the point, the whole point of this was for companies themselves that have the overhead and stock and "want" to get the word out about their company, not to ask individuals themselves to "support" me.

anyways,

thanks for your time in reading this.
