Meat you piss and moan alot. Don't post if all you're gonna do is complain about it.

Seal The Engine, and Learn how to tune and it shouldnt be THAT much of an issue...

Like alot of guys said if you don't like the spec class don't race it. Don't just sit here and complain about how much it sucks.

I have a gallon an a half in mine so far. the only thing that I have had is a oil under the chassie after I run. Could not find a leak in the motor. I found that the fuel tank leaks around the cap which let the fuel run out the over flow which come out the bottom of the chassis. This also can cause the motor to run lean. I did seal the motor before I ran it and I did break it in by heat cycling.

Tires will be the V slick by kyosho. Great traction and wear is very very good. I'm using #55 now but have three compounds to choose from. 55 is in the middle.

What you can do. The stock brakes suck so a brake upgrade is allow. Kyosho has a great brake pad which goes right on.

Sway bars are allow. Kyosho has a bolt on kit.

Radio gear may be changed. this goes for the linkage also.

You can change oil in the shocks you can change the oil in the diffs. You can move the shocks to any hole as well as the upper links. NO NEW HOLES ALLOW.

You may change gearing.

NO OTHER CHANGES ALLOW.


Now lets have some fun with this. and lets see who can beat this old man.

I posted it elsewhere, but you can get them from Ultimate Hobbies (http://www.ultimatehobbies.com) for $329 shipped. Just do a search for the pn# 3181. Your choice of Subaru, Nissan, BMW, or Aston Martin bodies. Ferrari isn't available yet.

Wow, that's a great price. Thanks Thirdgen! Didn't somebody say they took a while to ship though?

Was that with the free ground shipping? If not, which service did you select?

Do the LHS a favor and go buy one from them, whether it be Al's or LH...support local shops or they may not be here for long.

I think they are like $380 out the door at LH, not bad and you have it same day...

How much is shipping at Ultimate hobbies? edit: I see they have free ground shipping...


Having fun again!!!!

Parents suck....My whole 1 car rule was so my grades wouldn't slump. Now that schools out and I passed with A's and B's they are not letting me get one even after they said I could. Dammit.

Yeah, but add tax into the equation. $380 + tax probably brings it above $400. Can you justify spending $70 extra to support your LHS? I might have if Al's had it in stock and could cut me a deal to around $350. From ultimate hobbies there is no tax. I bought mine online because of that. I wanted the Calsonic Nissan body and Al's didn't have it in stock.

Ponch, I got it in 4 days with the free ground shipping.

its looks like a fun car to play with and race but i cant even get close to having enough time to get one, wish i could though. that car would also lead right to 1/8 on road for me and that would be bad news bears (walter mathau) for my wallet
