well, I like the Kyosho car much better than the Jammin, I Was running it on a bmx track this past weekend in Ohio, within a few blocks of my jobsite. The track was pretty loose, I was using m2 crimes, and it hooked fairly well, the steering is freaking amazing, since this is my first "real" steering servo(futaba 9351) combined with the Nomadio, response and range was awesome. I Was running a Top bf.21, and it runs really well, had great low end to clear the big jumps, I worked the throttle much better than I did for my first race, I think I Was just scared then, I just phucking hammered it a lot harder, and managed to handle the jumps a lot better, Im starting to learn throttle control,and how to power through obstacles. I think it was good practice for me, and the only conclusion I came up with was I think I am going to try softer springs to try and tone the twitchiness down a bit, Im also going to lower my steering servos speed, it turns like a bitch(so fast and hard, it will roll itself) So im ordering big bores today from Carolina's RC, and I'm getting the purple springs to maybe tone the car down a bit, I also have a Kanai evo III on the way, any ideas on pipes for this mill.............Jt and Mitch, get active in here please...............I am so ready to do some racing, I been getting some things here and there trying to get all I may need in future as far as equipment is concerned, Im looking forward to LH indoors this winter, as I will have a lot of down time on my hands, does the Amtrak stop in Joliet, anyone know?? peace Trevor

just order WC hard plastic front and rear arms, WC hard wing stay, and WC chassis braces, i need to get the WC 48t light spur, and the WC bonded brakes and I have full blown WC K' car, Im waiting on the bigbores for a little while yet I think, I need other things first, and the shocks seemed to work fine last weekend, I just need to tweak them a tad and find the right oil/spring combination that feels good for me.

I did race 2wd mod and 4wd mod electric off road as a kid Al, Im content with whats up, its no big deal to me really, just a hobby, if I can get an hour or two of enjoyment a week out of it, its all good, Im not some diehard rc racer dude from the west coast...but I do enjoy it as a hobby, and the whole race scene is a cooler vibe to me than anything I've ever done, and I have seen and done A LOT, A WHOLE LOT

crazy man, we used to spend the 4th of July down there and stuff, my grandma lived on the furthestmost street to the east, ran right along the river, it started right below the bridge which is now gone, then the road went straight to the train/tunnel bridge, or left to a dead end drive, she lived at the top of that drive, which is no longer there due to the new bridge / highway......lots of good memories for being a kid down there and being a little river rat LOL
