hehe, correct.

i am somewhat of a mini-z expert and general fan of 1:28-32 rc's. i've even dabbled in 1:87 rc.

i'm married with 2 kids under 6. i love my job but it doesn't pay enough to support my rc hobby

i am a panictoys fan ;) and post on atleast a dozen forums from all over the world but i would consider my online home to mini-zracer

i know next to nothing about buggies but i look forward to learning ;)

oh, big fan of being a kid :p i have a penchant for transformer's, gi joe's and anime.

That puts you north of the White House. One block is good. If it was 10 or 20 I would be concerned. Ever drive you RC on the mall?

...Good one arch...FINALLY you arrive ;)

...RE: New feet...YUP :) Those are the rims i fitted yesterday in black...You will need a decent setup to run them...unfortunately they cant be just thrown on stock axles...well they CAN but you have inherent problems...I use a set of CAW 1:10 axles converters...The other option is the XSPEDE set which INCLUDE the dogbones...The TRINTY 1:10 coverting adaptors MIGHT just wok with this wheel because the nut is quite inset into the wheel...get a regular 1:10 rim with NO inset for the nut and you will run out of thread faster than OJ in a bronco...

ok, so far all i've done it tighten the hell out of the slipper whatever it is. runs alot faster and better now :)

btw, a dc gtg member has a brushless h8 and is making a dirt track for his ;) should be fun times for us this spring :D

now if i can just get a clear shell to make a panic body ;) got the right decals...
