Speaking of the 80's. There was an awesome skateboarding movie I had saw a few years ago. I didn't see the beginning. But at the end this dude was flying down the hill on a black skateboard with chrome trucks and hardware on it, and he had gloves with cutting boards on them. He was trying to catch s...

Thank You!!!

It's okay. It's Victory Music!!!

That is a once in a lifetime score! And it looks great too!

I try to practice as much as I can. I'll get there it will just take time.

The outdoor racing starts in the next couple weeks here. Tonight was the last indoor race. I've been working on my throttle control, and taking my time. Just trying to keep it smooth.

I'll take a look at the transmitters and see if I can swap the internals out.

Like swap over the AE front and rear bulkheads and use AE front and rear a-arms? This is the kind of st...

Thanks alot for the input, I appreciate it. Not trying to start an argument, but I've noticed that name brand rtr's have problems too. Losi, duratrax, (some, not many) associated. Maybe its just the way it goes, Like a car built on a monday or friday. :lol: I will keep the shock issues and other thi...

I have one of the Losi 2.4 ghz ones. I might try it.
