Re: More AE parts being discontinued

I'm glad I saw the end of this thread......just so happens that, sitting under my bed in a box is a perfectly preserved pristine untrimmed unpainted, and untouched original release (not the re-release) viper body for the RC10.

Re: RC10T3 Front Weight Question/Alternative

Ill try reducing the "punch" setting and see if that helps, bear in mind i am running a 13.5 lt motor and hope to retain enough punch out of a corner to clear most "out of corner" sized jumps. I realize thats an ambiguous length but i think most of you that run on tracks have an ...

Re: Quadra-symmetric RC10

Thank you for all the input on the T2 chassis everyone! The rear mount holes will not be a problem I'm plenty capable of accomplishing those and I understand what's involved to do that.
