My Brushless system has been ordered off Tower Hobbies.
Even the car is still on layaway at G-land.

Looks like Im running a Tekin R1 pro with the Redline series Brushless motor.

Tim and Stephen I cannot wait to race Tekin in october.

The R1 pro looks sweet!

My 501x WE Setup
Jconcepts spoked rims on Losi "Pink" Taper pins(already glued)
B4 87 tooth Spur Gear
18 tooth pinon gear
Tekin Redline Brushless Motor
Tekin R1 esc
Futaba Fasst Radio(3PM)
Digital Futaba Steering Servo
Associated Brown Springs in the front
35 WT Associated Shock Oil 35 F/35 R
Body will be custom painted thru BK Paintwerks.

This car will be the best ever, even better than my B44,
But my god I love the B44 just as much trust me!

I cannot get rid of the B44 because outdoor racing is pickin' up in mod 4-wheel.
Golfland is gonna have a 4wd mod championship! Man talk about awesome!

Dude I can drive good now, I used to sux but I'm getting better.
I can handle the B44 just fine.

That B-mag show was my first race. Sunday is the winterblast and my 4th race.
The race looked terrible because the shock oil was wrong, and my springs were wrong...
I had 50% steering rate, now it's 110%.

The 501x is gonna be even better with the futaba FASST.
I'm not worried about beating Stallard right now, my time will come one day.

He's what we call the village idiot around here.

If people here would just nurture him instead of belittling him and constantly flaming, it would be a better place for all of us. It's not like we can afford to lose participants in this hobby.

First of all, a person drives WELL, not GOOD.

Also, when you say "custom painted", will it involve intricate designs with a sharpie pen??
