I found it at Kyosho's website while I was shopping for wheels and stuff for my Turbo Scorpion. So, it's a good deal? Okay, the description says it's not ROAR approved but I don't care, I'm gonna order one.

Well, we shall see (the order is placed). It's 17.5 so not too powerful. Should be good for a rere.

Yeah, not too bad. I also ordered wheels and a wing and shipping was less than $9 to northern 'Bama. I got the car from them as well and it shipped free -- and really fast! I think there's a good chance my order will arrive before Christmas.

I'm about 50 miles west of Gadsden in Cullman. I relocated to Alabama from Illinois with the company I work with back in '96. I love it down here; a great community, low taxes, very little snow and good weather overall means that I no longer need to park my bikes for the winter. Downside is that, unlike Illinois, there is no place within a reasonable distance here to race RC.

Oh yeah, my wife knows where Cullman is. We'll be out in your neck of the woods in Attalla later this week. They got dumped on with snow pretty good a week or so ago.

Cool! Yeah, we received some snow but it melted in a couple hours. Didn't bother me at all since I really hate that stuff. As it happened, areas south and east saw greater accumulation than us - sorta odd. Most of the family are still up north so will be spending the holidays with them. We may see snow there but I certainly hope not. Anyway, to you and yours, safe travels, Merry Christmas and happy holidays.
