I wouldn't tell :lol:

I have often wondered, it's not like we all wouldn't buy one if they still made em! It was self published (Trafford) but not by Jim.

I absolutely refuse to pay this:

I refused to pay that as well Jeff, about a year back or so. At the time there were many listed on a few different sites for much more than that.

I managed a deal through ebay, the seller tossed in an odd coloured motor (the can) with the book all for under $30 shipped.

Todd (Klavy69) even offered to grab one for me a few years ago from a seller that shipped in the states only, was not able to close the deal on that one.

But I persevered, and found the one I have. Want to scan it?

Haven't bought any RC auctions for months but fell off the wagon and picked up almost all the parts needed to put together a new built Fine Design pro stock car.

Also picked up another lot of various parts but the only piece worth posting a pic of is going to be posted in the Official What Is It thread.

How many pages does that book have? Some years ago, I found it (or a good part of it) online and made a Word document out of it. It doesn't have the cover and I probably omitted unnecessary stuff, but I have 46 pages of it. :twisted:

EDIT: What I have starts with "Motor Anatomy" and ends with "Reedy MVP Tuning Secrets" and some kind of Q & A with Big Jim.
