I hope your racing season and family have been well and I hope to hear from you soon! Take care, and let me know when your next race is so I can watch it on LiveRC.com thanks

Hi Paul I would like to thank you for the setup help, it's really help a lot I need some little homework to do make the car better and competitive.
Btw Paul what speedo and motor are you running on Mod class, I'm thinking to switch with 4.5 I currently running 10.5 Tekin, where I can find your speedo motor set up for 4.5?
Thanks

Hi Paul,
Just wondering if you find that the left rear shock requires just a little more preload in order to tweak out your car? I have checked everything on my car, (and I mean everything) for equal length, flatness, suspension settings, and for some reason I find I have to put a little more preload into the left rear shock. Is this normal or have I missed something?
As always thanks.

Dear Dearest Friend Paul,
I have been looking at some 1/8th scale electric cars and am currently thinking about going with the MBX6 Eco buggy. I have always been a fan of Mugen Skeiki but they are soo expensive i could never afford one, but this one is only $469 and I would have to buy brushless system, but that shouldnt be too much of a problem! Tell me what you think! I think it would be a good buy since it just came out and they have parts for this, and Im sure electric will win over nitro one day 
haha!
Your Friend,

Paul, I'm thinking about purchasing a set of swaybars for my T311 and want to make sure that I use them well. I have not made any adjustments with them ever, and want to know if I will get any kind of adjustments if I do decide to purchase them. I'm thinking about getting sets of 1.2, and 1.6 for the front and I want 1.4, and 1.6 for the rear. Do you make sway adjustments ever? What are the advantages vs the disadvantages? The only changes I make on my car is making chassis stiff or loose taking out screws, and putting them back in when the traction comes up. I have no problems with traction roll, but at times I either push or get loose in the rear. Thanks for the advise.

Bravo Paul!
Good day!
I race wit a local club in Victoria BC called IROCC (Island Radio Operated Car Club). I have been pitting and racing with a young man named Lucas who last year was diegnosed with cancer. Paul was in our neck of the woods for a race in Vanvouver last winter. Some of our club racers attended this race an asked Paul if he could help us get Lucas a new car at a good price. Well, Paul did one better and put together a car from his inventory of parts and sent it to Lucas with an X-ray pit towel, a personalized pit board, a body he used in his last race and the trophy from that race!
I must say that this was an outstanding thing to do and Lucas made it out for his first race today with the car and he had a huge smile on his face all day and bumped from the D main to tha C main!
Bravo Paul, bravo!

Ran an sedan for the first time in months bro. Was at Ripon last night. The Xray I was loaned was dialed. Tell Birch to send me a car so I can get back into the game....LOL How ya been bro? Playing in the dirt has been pretty fun lately. Don't know when I'll see you again unless Xray makes a 2wd buggy
