Well, Ko and I's race got rained out...hated to see them make the 2 hour trip and not run...should have got some pics to share. That Web special he has is saaaaweeet. I liked the body he ran on one of his cars...it looked very familiar....chrome with some carbon fiber design..I should have taken that thing home with me before he left... we could have ran, if we had aqua treads or some pontoons...it was a monsoon out there...might have been home for hermie...does he use rain-x for tire traction? The world may never know...I'm such a bloody blimey...does that sound right? I'm done rambling.

Pfft, you wimps.
If I've driven 2 hours to drive you can be sure I'm going to damn well race
Waterproof your electronics, shove some Pit Schimizu D20's on or CS22's if thats what you've got and get your plastic shopping bag out and cut a hole in the bottom so you can put your ariel through it, and you have a water cover for your transmitter
You can even WD40 your shell

Don't know how you can be a blimey maybe a limey

Yep thats the guy that does his bodies....but he paints the nice ones for protoform also ...now too

I said rudabega, not romance or that other wet "R" word... That web looked good out there...might have sold me on an A spec for my sled...I'll send you a pm or an email on the list...thanks for coming out to race with us. Pay attention to our message board, we might be rescheduling that race in the 11th instead of the 18th...I'll let you know anyway, just in case.

LOL, now we know where your racing is going wrong, you think your car is a transmitter, you're not meant to put the steering wheel thingy (or stick thingy if you're sensible and from the UK ) on the ground

Just mug KO for one of his chassis, he doesn't need three

Pretty cool, Pavidis' bodies arent much to look at, but you will see it going around the track pretty quick (except last Tuesday when I was running a half second a lap faster than him, buahahaha)

The Squat bearings are really free, but I had a problem with blowing them out with just bumping over corner dots. The Acer Ceramic bearings seemed to hold up really well, and are even more free spinning.
