I will definitely let you know. I had several sets a couple years ago and let them go.

Car is getting there. I need to go get some screws for the wheels and get the body and wing painted. Haven't had a lot of rc time lately.

The need for painting the body makes me pause my Yokomo project too :) I'd rather watch the progress of your build. I like it very much.
