    Thanx guys. I found a site in holland that sells top stuff (I presume it is anyway), and boy was it expensive. I found another site (conrad.nl) and they sell complete kits. Only thing...you have to assemble it yourself.

    olv, so true. let's not forget maintenance fun. when i race i typically spend 1/4 of the time driving and the other 3/4 tweaking my b3 and washing tires. that's beside the 1hr i spend cutting comms and maintaining batteries when i get home from the track.
    it seems obsessive/compulsive to go on like that, until you've experienced taking the checkered flag from equally competitive racers (great comradery at most tracks).

    Miku, next time i go to see my brother i'll take pics of his modified Nikko F150 Harley Edition truck. it was originally slower than a slow walkin pace, but now it goes about 18mph since i modified it and installed racing gear (radio, ESC, Modified...). that was an interesting project, when i get the pics i'll post them here.

    I have a Team Losi XX-4. I control it with a JR R-1. ESC in a Novak Cyclone. Have a bunch of motors I use - all trinitys. It's a sweet little car - but the local track closed so now I have nowhere to race it. I'm hoping to find a buyer eventually for it so that I can get some kind of a touring sedan - like maybe an RS4 pro or something.

    My first car was a Traxxas Bandit. That car was built Ford tough! I drove that car into countless concrete walls - and it still runs just like the first day I built it! I'd like to sell that car eventually as well.

    I used to race a Shumacher Cougar 2000 in 1/10th off road. I then put some body mounts on it :idea: :dremel: got some slicks and a Mercedes bodyshell and I raced it in 1/10th scale saloons.

    Ah...those were the days :blush:

    strøngshøck,

    Good to find a cat owner. I have two gray cats. The one in the photo is the girl cat. Misty is scared of everything, but cares for people. My other gray cat Jesse James (The Outlaw), He is the loving fluffy cat most people want to hold. But when you come home from work, Jesse is eating, and doesn't even look up to see you. Misty is right there every day looking right at you to see how your day was.

    Misty is also a big modding fan. Here she is helping with the computer case mod. :)

    I actually have lots of computer mod pictures that my cats manage to get themselves in.

    Glad to find a cat owner. Happy Modding to you.
