Also, how is the Lotus 7 that had transmission trouble during the Losi resto?

Thanks!

My Seven is not leaking anymore. At least not from the gearbox...

OK, I'll bite. 8) I'm very much looking forward to this coming weekend. I have 2 nephews, 7 & 9. I have 2qty of everything shown in the photo below. There comes a time in every young mans life where they need to connect the battery leads to the motor and let the learning begin. :D It doesn't mat...

Anybody want to buy an "hpi 2 speed maintenance kit" I just got one in the mail for some reason

how dare you.

No doubt it's not a business people get into to get rich ... but this isn't tracks not making much money, it's going out of business, over and over and over again... Not in bad locations or any other visible obvious reason that I could tell. The place right up the block from me used to host the Cact...

Hoosier Hobbyplex is also near me. Eddie and his family have put a lot of time into that track. The started with a backyard track on their property.
