I have to come to BP Shadow's help.
Years ago, I made custom waterslide decals for model railroader. I charged as much as I believed I would pay for it. At the beginning everybody was happy but soon people complaint the price was to high although I never made more than $5 an hour if I counted set up, printing time, material, time spent to pack and ship, etc.. After 3 years I had it and shut it down.
What I want to say is, please pay the $5 since we don't want to lose the best thing that happend in the F1 RC world.
Thanks BP Shadow

Started building my new Tamiya F104v2 black edition car. Eventually I'll have build videos up on my youtube channel (see sig.) but for now here are some pics:

less than a couple years ago you couldn't touch any F1 stuff without jumping thru dozens of hoops, ordering from Japan or just waiting til Tamiya would stock it and charge premium $.
Sean Park at TQ Raceway (tqrcracing.com) pretty much single handedly put F1 parts and great racing right in our desperate laps by taking a huge risk and droppin a lot of up front cash on inventory.
Brad Palmer f1paintlab.com is THE paint and sticker guru as well as F1 parts supplier elite.
Constructive criticism is best done and probably most appreciated directly thru pm or email.

The F1 paintlab decals are the highest quality decals I've ever seen for any kit. I'm an offroad racer most of the time but build shelf queen onroad cars to cruise the neighborhood and his products are untouchable. I really wish he'd expand into other onroad cars such as prototypes or imports, it's hard to find decent livery for those cars.

That said, I second what Cuda said, me aside TQ is a great shop, and Sean is my top dealer and a great guy to deal with. I've been doing F1 since 1989, and back then there was pretty much nothing to speak of, you had a choice 1 chassis and 2 bodies, and good luck on decals, you had to buy 5 sheets to get the decals for one body. Just saying that things have come a long way and this is probably the best time for F1 in the RC world.
