Wow, nothing like the pot calling the kettle black, one set of rules for the bos...

is the mini revo the same chassis as the mini slash, just with bigger wheels or something?

One looks like a mini-revo and the other looks like a mini-slash - but they're both 4wd and share the same chassis.

Re: are deans plugs the way to go

when oval racing everybody just hardwires all of their connections. when i walk around the pits and see most of the solder connections that are in these cars i think i will stick with powerpoles. most if not all of the local racers can't solder, even the ones that have been doing this for years. al...

Re: whats going to happen to our hobby??

I don't think I would call that calling me out. I disagreed with your post and we got in to a round and round argument about the importance of racing in the hobby. You wrongly think that racing is the single most important part of this hobby, and you go on to make grand blanket statements as to the...

Re: whats going to happen to our hobby??

Okay, so now we are aguing just to argue and I'm starting to get tired of it. Hate to be the one to call you on it, but it wasn't an argument until you turned it into one. (I had my opinion and stated it, you called me on my opinion instead of just stating your own and off we went) Either way, I'm ...

Re: whats going to happen to our hobby??

Go to the vintage nats and watch bngiles race his "basher" Frog around the track as fast as a modified RC10. Yes, there are plenty of shelf queens, but there are also plenty of serious competitors. I was around when the first Goldtubs hit the track --- and literally overnight the Frogs go...

Re: RC10 Graphite - What to look for when purchasing

What do YOU mean by "motor guard" ?? The motor guard is a piece of aluminum that replicates the pick up on the back of an aluminum chassis for a graphite chassis That's what I thought you were talking about. I thought that was included, in the box, with all the graphite kits back in the d...

Re: whats going to happen to our hobby??

I firmly believe that Losi shot itself in the foot when it stopped selling through tower, I know I sold my XXX shortly after. At the time Losi stopped selling to Tower because they sold out to one of Tower's competitors, Horizon. Similar thing happened when ProLine was bought out by Associated, the...
