Very nice!! Twin Sport Tune would be good!!

If I get a Clod, I'd run that... if I want to keep the Clod stock!

Here's the Tamyia double motor ESC. I dunno the voltage input though, by the price I don't think it will handle 14.4v. If it does that's a scawheet deal! (assuming it will sell for 50-60 dollars).

i might, it would look pretty cool in dusky conditions,

ive got my sights set on a M-04L, though there's next to nothing about it on here, seems people aint a fan of it? i need bearings and i might bling it up with some options parts, but not yet, bank balance = nil

oh and the F103 RX i bought, turns out it has 257mm wheelbase and not 260mm! another one for the collection! [&:]

Went out to the airfield I used to fly at here at home. They made a few changes, but for the better.

Got some flights in and on the way home stopped in at the LHS. I found 30% Cool Power Heli fuel for $20 a gallon. It's $45 a gallon in CT so I bought a case. Heh, $90 vs $195, it was a no brainer. That's better than any Tower coupon!!!

Looks like you guys are busy with the cars which is good. I assume my 501X parts are waiting for me at home.

Unfortunately, my 501X body is MIA. No word from the painter for at least a month.[:@]

Also, saw another guy that has like $2000 into his Titan, but can only hover. Maybe I am doing it wrong?

Planes, you crash, you tear out the engine, the servos, and the receiver, and throw the destroying plane in the trash. Buy a new one.
Helis, you crash, you go home crying, go into the garage, and tear the heli apart to see what broke, go online and order everything(start crying again when you see the total), and you wait. When the parts come, you install them, adjust everything, and go fly. Repeat process.

Great news!!! The RC model kit maker who was a Finalist on American Inventor is being paired up with SPIN MASTER to make his HT RACER (remote control paper planes, cars, boats... anythings).

Ricky DeRennaux, an Oklahoma teacher and a Finalist on American Inventor is going to work with SPIN MASTER (maker of Air Hogs) to develop his HT RACERS kit.CERS kit. This paper rc model kit could actually make it onto the shelves soon! Check out his youtube.

Actually, the Raptor series helis are very cheap to repair and are also designed to break less. All the parts that WILL break ar separated from main chassis parts so that you only replace that part and not a series of parts.

Don't get me wrong, a minor crash can set you back at the minimum, $100.

There is a Cinnimon Toast Crunch commercial that has the F350 in it. It's in the middle of the commercial for about 10 seconds.
