Hows about you hook me up with an F201 kit and all the goodies! Then again I change my mind everyday, which is why its best I buy something soon before I decide I want something different instead. Of course if you have any ideas throw them at me.

...of course then BitHed comes along and blows all commonsense aside by rewiring the Ezilla with purkle and yellow!!! LOL...



Evader i think its always safe to stay darker & lighter...BTW that DOES look like a nice motor...I will be stocking them soon If i was running a brushed TAMIYA buggy I would definately want this motor in there...I mean it comes with foam panties What MORE could you want!! [8D]

I have been here SOOO long that i sometimes have trouble with a knife and fork!! BTW I lied about the stinky beans

..but back to the topic at hand

...Very soon my DI will look SOMETHING like this...black rims though [8D] If you are going to use ANY JDM third-party maker to hop up your DF-02 or 03 then it SHOULD be these guys...TOBEE CRAFT

...its not really worth getting RTR'S or kits from me...8 times out of 10 I cant beat Hong Kong or you can get them locally for the same price once you factor in shipping...

...not sure..not here really...smaller sizes are being left to the TAMIYA one for the MegaGear platform and the X-Speeds for the KYOSHO MiniFerno...I would quite like to see / hear / feel the LRP mini motor though...The modified Mini Fusion?

..BTW i DO sell RTR's but only under very special circumstances

Hopefully the DI drivetrain can take the Mamba Max 7700kv motor.. I plan on getting that and try it out on my road car and the DI.. I'd hate to break things.....

Keep me posted on the Dark Impact thread then.. good thing that the kit has not arrived yet.. (still backordered somehow from Hobby People.. oh well.. see what happened when I tried to save that $10?! :P) That's okay, I got plenty of cars to keep me busy..

One thing that I'd like to have is the turnbuckle kit.. is that out yet?!

...There are a couple of buckle kits at our end...All the usual suspects...Tamiya of course being the last to market as usual...i tell ya man the DI has REALLY taken off here...My PERSONAL favourite is the Lunsford Racing set...Lunsford also does one big LONG buckle for the steering servo...I wont be getting that one though...Tobee Craft and Five Stars have blue sets...Fortunately I am allergic to TAMIYA blue...I prefer silver or red and just save the purple for the 'zilla...
