Hey stratcat,
I just received your instant message. I purchased over Christmas a Thunder Tiger 1/5 scale nitro motorcycle. Running it has been an experience. Those little bikes can really get moving. My sister-in-law lives in Plainfield and visiting her with taking a run down to the track in Joliet will happen soon. This friggin snow has to stop and start melting.
I'm also a relative newbie to on-line forums. Chatting and replys will be slow at best. We will definately chat/run soon. It can't snow forever. The groundhog will soon be unemployed after his prediction of an early spring.
