True, Hudy existed long before xray as a manufacture of tools and car parts for rc car companys. then came along Xray, instead of making it the Hudy car they started Xray.

Hey Mr. Paul, you are a damn good racer and wanted to congratulate you on your new sponsors. I know I am just a regular racer and all, but I figure I jump in and say grats!

Will you be in Maryland for the 2010 ROAR Nats in March?

LOL, Thanks on the support!. I will not be at the Carpet nats in march, Im getting Merryed (spelling lol) in march so i will be missing that one.

thanks. alicia says hi

Hi Brandon, you can extend your ackermann post forward (the knotches), and that will give you more on power steering, also you may try tightening up your front diff also. those two things were always pretty effective for exiting the corner. Tell Alicia i said Hi.

Hi, right now im not really sure whos motors i will run in the future, though i did still use my trinity mods at the last race. And I have not tried the Futaba speedo. Thanks, you too. Paul

Be sure to put up a teaser post when you pick a motor sponsor, so we can all gather at 5pm and crash r/c tech like the last time Barry switched

Oh, you will need all the merryment you can get if that's the case then.

Don't forget to put your better half on the sponsor list. That has the potential to bring merryment to an abrupt stop.
