Hi Todd, weather permitting, I will be going to the track on thursday, so I will check for you.
As for buying used RC, well my nack is finding that one guy who did everything to the car and decided to sell without even running it <laugh> that is how I found my Nitro TC3.. he bought every hop up .. probably spent close to a grand and I picked it up for a fraction.

Nice buy Raman! I wish I could find those deals! I am not patient enough when I want something I have to have it NOW! and yes, I usually end up paying a grip too..... Thanks for checking Raman I appreciate it. Here is a picture of the wheels I bought.. I ended up paying $90.00 with shipping, I hope I didnt get screwed, 1/5th wheels are generally super cheap, the rubber is what costs the $$$$. Plus once the rubber is ruined the wheels go into the trash anyways...I guess the same will be true for these aluminum rims, except you can put the centers on another set of hoops I guess.

Hi Todd,
For your information, you don't have to throw away the 1/5 rims when the rubber is used, just put the rims with the rubber leftovers in a can with aceton. Wait for two days and the rims come out brand new and the rubber is gone..........

Ropas thanks

That's going to be a fight.....I have only one in stock :-)
But CPierre first has to build in the servo's, the adjustable stabilizer set, both the brake sets, glue the tires, set everything with locktite, paint the body............nice hobby huh?!?
And CPierre don't forget to buy some flowers for the wife :-))))

AS long as it is full sythetic, and a good quality your good to go. Personally the oil is whats going to seperate the engines that last and those that dont. Cheap oil is a bad thing to save money on. You got the car going already? I took some video this weekend and am trying to figure out how to set it up on the web so everyone can take a look. Man these things are waaaayyyy FUN!!!!! Ron at Krikke says to mix it 25:1 for the Zenoah RC230 and run it.

As soon as I can figure out how to make a link, I'll get em where everyone can take a look. Its crazy to see this car take off, and has so much power it peals out and smokes the tires on dry pavement. Really cool to just peal donuts and smoke the tires, its a riot. Almost as much fun to just horse around and drive like a madman, you can drift the car sideways at 45MPH. The tires on the right pavement, squeal just like a real car tires! I have some REALLY good footage, but haven't figured out how to make a link yet.
