Yes sir we have a few things in stock now(we usually have all of the m18 hopeups instock) but send me a list to the email in my signature and I will let you know what we have. We ordered a good bit of stuff this week and are waiting on it to come in so hopefully it won't have any backorders.

hopeups,LOL opps.....

Yeah I guess so...LOL We don't charge to race and we do not have a "payout" so we have been doing just run what you brung and all of just race adn hang out. We can spit it up if it is needed. We do have Jlap setup and count heats,mains etc. for the sake of doing it and I guess it would be for bragging rights. Right now there is only 3-4 of us running so if more were interested we can make a class for stock and mod.

Hey man, we didn't run, everyone had Christmas stuff to take care of. We have been running whatever we happen to have in it at the time. We haven't had anyone outside me,Charles,Tom,and Rick show up so we haven't worried about motors. I think all of us are running either a Orion Coreless mod or one of the new Trinity motors. (termination series, I run the long can and short can) I use a spy as do Tom and Charles and it seems to work fine. I would switch over to 6 deg front arms and use a kimbrough red servo saver though. You will need to raise the servo about 1mm (give or take a little) so the saver clears the chassis. I just stick some spacers under the 2 screw mounts on the servo mounts themselves and raise it that way. You can also make new holes and actually move servo up on the mounts...whichever you think would be easier. Get it running and stay in touch with me anda when get together again come hang out with us. When we aren't racing we are hanging out watch'n the HD big screen or playing pool.
