a Peugeot 206, its far from perfect, but i love driving it on the edge, i think the light weight (just over a tonne) speaks a lot for its cornering ability.

RE: THE LOUNGE 2
I have to be honest with you guys. I enjoy working on 1:1 and driving them more than r/c.
I figured I had to get the exhaust to let my DOHC 4.6 V8 breathe a little and to keep the ricer boys at bay.

So Jeg's is really fast. I ordered yesterday afternoon, the tracking shows it will be at my doorstep tomorrow.
I got the free shipping too, so not too bad. Can't beat 94 shipped for both mufflers. I would imagine it will cost about 150-200 for installation and new pipe. Jan 24th can't come soon enough.

You gonna post pics too?
That reminds me...I need to post pics of that train engine I got my son.
The downer there is that the transformer (that I got a couple years ago, not used much) that powers the track went out. Arg. [:@] Time to contact Lionel.

RE: THE LOUNGE 2
I will post pics of it, but the cool thing about this year of the mark is the exhaust is hidden away with pipe pointing downwards at the rear.
I washed the car 2 days ago and it already looks dirty as heck [:@].
I also am starting my first plastic model kit in awhile. 1987 Ford Thunderbird TurboCoupe.

That should work fine. I was running a 19T, GP 3300 NiMh, and old ESC (that I tried to sell to you for dirt cheap, but you never followed up on it!), and an old AM radio, and my RC10 ran just fine. I only ran a Futaba S3003 in there - if you're just bashing a 2WD buggy, I don't see the need to spend $$ on a MG servo. It sounds like you want a budget setup anyway, so HT/MG seems like a huge waste.
You should still have fun

I guess if I was racing I would get higher end servos but those cheapies work so well, especially for the price. Plus I tend to break cases anyway. [&:]
