Seeing that we are getting closer I figured it was time to make sure i had some spare parts this year. I ordered 2 idler gears(stripped one last year), new set of tires, and some other misc parts.

This year I plan to finish better, and be less of a moving obstacle. Been putting in some practice time at the local track. :P

Been there, done that. :lol: Ride 'em hard and put 'em away wet! :lol: I'll go to grab one and think 'Oh yeah, it's broke...' :oops: Wish I could make the race. Just too much work still. There's always next year.

What part do you need to fix it? I might have a spare. Need to get as many SRBs on the track this year we can. It could look like scene from the old Tamiya brochures.

It was a blast!! I might need to repair the front end, get a 2.4 receiver and bring it back. Although, I don't know how other people can run 3 classes, I had trouble with just running two.

Going to work on the wing mount, but I thought that part of the wing was suppose to be cut out :oops:


Might be entering it in the upcoming race at R/C Excitement JConcepts Fall Nationals. Need to get more race time so I can make the B Main next year. I spent hours practicing, but nothing compares to actual racing practice.
