It would be good to get a few extra parts to bring along just in case,better to be safe than sorry,I always say.

If you drive like it was stolen you will need parts for sure,if you drive without hitting anything you will not need parts.

Default Painted Body

Hey guys

If you run the body unpainted, you might aswell throw it out. It will not hold the paint when you do decide to paint it. When it comes to onroad, the bodyshell is a consumable, it will need to be replaced at least once a season.

Just do a quickie paint job to learn how to paint, and so you won't be sad when it explodes mid-season.

As for parts, Todd what car do yo have? Xray or Associated? I can bring parts for the Associated.

Still not sure I'm coming to this one yet. It will be just the TC5 if I do. I'll see if some of the Kamloops boys want to come down and play too, but I'm not holding my breath on that one.

Default Cyclone, I got those

Hey

Melnyk has been running the World Spec Cylone this last year, so we do have some parts for them in stock...and they happen to be in the same box as the TC5 stuff I plan to bring along.

I have no idea what we have, but some parts are better than no parts. I'm sure Rob can get you whatever you need quickly as it just comes from the coast.

Default Working on the XRAY

So finally got the 008 on the table last night. Man oh man I can't wait to see it run. Actually I am a little nervous. There are some weird things going on with it. I better double check all things like the diff and shocks etc. to make sure nothing explodes once I hit go.

See you all sunday. RoCK ON
