It took Tower forever to sell their 418 kits, even at $400, and I personally know where 5 of them went at that price.

Of course I could move on to XRay or AMX or something else on a whim, I do it all the time. But I genuinely love how this car feels on carpet and want to find a way to make it work for me. So much so that I've been in contact with 4 different RC manufacturers today asking them about the possibility of producing new c-hubs, which is how I found out about the new pieces from Square (Thanks Dai.)

I know this thread is nearly useless for information, always has been. Mostly I come here to troll because you're almost all a bunch of nut huggers with no useful advice, and you're quick to demean anybody that dares speak out about a car's shortcomings. It's entertainment for me and quite a few others.

And finally, should I make the show in either of the two classes at IIC with this car, guess who won't be getting the setup? That's right, you losers.
