Yeah, no doubt! Andretti gave that car/scheme world recognition, but there was something special about the bright-yellow-helmet-black-and-gold-livery that just blew my mind. Plus the fact that Senna drove with so much passion and aggressiveness made watching that car a spectacle every race.

Anyway, I'm glad you liked it. And I am 40, so not old, not young.

I also have a question for you or anyone else that can help me out. Under the hood I am running the Sidewinder Sport 5700kV System with the SV2 ESC, the DX3E Spektrum and a 5000mAh NiMH stick pack. A pretty sweet kit for a noob if you ask me but lo-and-behold the thing cogs. I went to local hobby shop and they told me there is pretty much nothing to do unless I buy a new LiPO set ($100 at least and that won't totally fix it, he said) so my question is: Would a LRP BEC Stabilizing Cap help a bit?

Sorry for the long post. Hope anyone can point me in the right direction.
