that cats name is Bam Bam . i swear he thinks all my rc cars are HIS personal bashing toys. he'll sit there even when they are not running and jump on the cars, bite the antennas, bat the tires , waiting for the car to run around the room.
pretty funny i think

Lots of fun and work. You are right. It can be very confusing. Which one was I working on? What parts do I need? It is endless, I say I will take all my best parts and make one good one. But then I am not too far off from making two, then I still have a chassis so why not three, and on and on. I think that is part of the fun.

im in too far. im selling off other rc cars to buy more r10 parts! i keep on tearing them apart , i need to spend a day putting them together. i ended up throwing 2 goldpans together to send my dad. should be able to go home soon, so im shipping my cars and stuff home . i ended up throwing parts on some cars just to free up some parts and clutter, but when they get home , theyll all have to be tore down, so the rite parts can go on the rite cars. basically now its just work on this stuff on my spare time, send stuff to my dad, and wait. i got pics of whats been going on, just need to upload them. what im planning , is to get 2 more big boxes sent out , and then carry my nices gold pan, and my tamiya tank as my carry on when i go on the plane. cant wait!! not just taking a suit case, with very little clothes, pictures,papers, and 2 rc cars, thats all im taking home, selling my trucks, just want to get home!! when i get home, ill have lots of pictures to post. hopefully i can teach my dad how to use a computer and get him set up here at rc10 talk. he has his own rc10 operation at home, and im sure he's got some pics too. i think with all the rc's we got together, we have around 50-60 rc cars. its crazy!

hopefully later i can get some pics uploaded for an update.
