Welp, guess that explains why I haven't gotten an issue in a while.

One of the magazines had an editorial recently about how all the companies are putting their advertising money into social media, instead of print, and thusly making it hard for them to stay alive.

This is definitely my next project!

MCI always responded to my questions. I got them to make a few custom sticker sheets.

From what I understand you only need to "store" them half charged, as in....a month or more. Me and my RC buddies leave them charged for a week or so at a time, and have never had an issue. I have a few that have been charged for a couple months, with no issues as well. So, no, don't bothe...

I too used to race back when we had Nicd batteries, and then left the hobby for some time, only to pick it up again a few years back. When I did, I went straight to Lipo's. You can also get "shorty" lipo batteries that fit a lot of applications easier. I skipped over the whole Nimh era. Li...

I was there for work. When I travel I try to visit the local hobby shops just to see what they have. I picked up a t-shirt, tire zip stix, some tires and wheels, and glue.

If anyone is in eastern Washington, B&B Hobbies in Spokane still has one Worlds kit. Almost bought it for myself, but I have enough cars.

The GT tranny makes for a great mid motor conversion. I have one. You'll need to drill new holes in a motor plate, and fab some kind of brace at the top, but it's a rather easy conversion. The GT is what they now call a "lay down" tranny.

Me and a friend have these Reedy motors in a couple of vehicles, and they run just fine. Probably exactly what you're looking for.

I love those trucks. Not good for the track, but very scale in appearance.

As for the arm holes, whatever you want. Everyone has a different preference. Just try one, and if it doesn't work, try another. Wheel use may also dictate which ones are available. Just start in the middle holes if you want.

Nice upgrade on the B4 front caster blocks.

Those would go perfect with my black sparkle paint body.

The right color wheels and a semi-correct wing make a huge difference.

Ultimately it will have another body and a correct wing.

Added a body I had sitting around. It's a sparkle black paint, although it just looks black in the pics. Yes I know the double decked wing would get crushed, but we used to build these sorts of things when I was a kid. I'd pull it off when I run the car and put a different wing on. Now if it just ha...
