My name's Chuck, I race 1/8 scale buggies (currently an XRAY EC all Futaba, with OS Speed motor) regionally here in the Midwest, USA. I just bought a couople Hlaf 8s for my 5 year old son...I got 2 brand new ones (ok they got run once and the AA's where still good) at $50 for the pair. I have one lightly modded with the X speed motor, the 8 cell pack and regulator, oil filled shocks and I'm trying to make this digi Futaba S9650 servo to work.

Anyway, I wanted to drop in and introduce myself, looks like there is some good help for the minis on here.
