Just got a MI and Im about to start hopping it up. I was wondering if the Kyosho shocks are worth three times as much as say 3R's, and if so why? Also, what is the best servo I can get for it? Seems like most of yall use Hitecs, are they the best? What model # to be specific?

I was really looking for blue bithed. But if the price were too good to pass up, maybe. Could I replace the red caps if I wanted to, or do they not sell just caps? Email me at jla888@sbcglobal.net and tell me what youre asking.

LOL.... I love the smell of nitro and cigarettes in the morning (or evening for that matter)...!!!

Glad to hear your in a good mood Bit, and thanks for sweetening the deal I really appreciate it.

Wow... I don't know what to say... Thanks for the kind words Bit. I'd like to "think" I know what I'm doing most of the time. I do take a lot of pride in my work and I hope it shows. I've been into r/c's off and on for about 10 years or so but just recently into electrics and these smaller 16th and 18th scales. They're just waaaay too much fun...!!!

I wish I knew you back when you were selling live on messenger and under the influnce. Man... those must've been some good deals... LMAO.

We'll have to discuss those numbers you need but we can do that via email. I think we got a little off topic here in this thread. So with that being said, IMHO... I think the Kyosho aluminum bodies shocks are the best and smoothest shocks for the Mini Inferno platform.
