Re: My old Truck and I need some help

unless you destroyed your stock 2.25 stealth trans case does anyone feel the need for a rpm2.65 trans? think you can still get the 2.25 top shaft dont think you cant get the rpm top shaft. if you just want that 2.65 ratio thats cool go for it .. im not too impressed with the rpm 2.65 ,just a smaller...

(and yes 3% is about right http://inflationdata.com/Inflation/images/charts/Inflation_Trends/inflation_by_decade_sm.jpg) We're actually getting a pretty good deal I'd say!

Re: Intriguing ad in RC Car Action - RC10 re-release?

I can agree with longboard on this one. Using the logic of inflation, the new kit should cost $450-675 since the original 6010 kit was $225. But since the price of all the other parts skyrocketed, why did the kit price only jump $25 since 1984? Answer me that. :wink: It's funny that my paycheck has...
