Well, at least this really drew out the tightwads! :lol: I kid. Yea, I know. I’ll hit the donate link. I’m so busy that all I do mostly is FB now. I’m in to RC planes as well and the good sites have been bought and turned in to crap (RC Universe and FlyingGiants). I really was just making a silly j...

I tapped mine on my Boomerang.
Enjoy the build.

Thank you!

I’ll post pictures of what I have when I ge home from my work trip. I don’t think I have any on my phone.

I’m getting ready to build two rereleases. A Grasshopper is one of them. Are there any gotchas building it? I know it’s a simple car just want to cover my bases as this is for someone else.

Great! Where do we donate? Been a member a long time just don’t post much.

I’m getting ready to build two rereleases. A Hotshot is one of them. Are there any gotchas building it? I know it’s not as simple as the grasshopper but I don’t think it’s that hard. I just want to cover my bases as this is for someone else.

I have a rerelease Super Dog fighter built with a YZ10 body. I also have the rerelease YZ10 in the box sealed. Besides the body and wheels is there any different? I’m thinking I will race it in a 4wd vintage class if it’s allowed.

Is there a market for these cars? I have the Pegasus Exceed 443 that I got in a trade deal.

I guess I’m asking because I seen more without any writing on them.

I bought a near mint RC10 yesterday. It came with two sets of tires. The set that came in the kit had Associated on the side wall on both the front and rear tires. It appears that these tires have never been used. Are the tires with writing on rare? (I know the Goodyear ones are rare).
