Yeah, it sure was fun racing with the Flagstaff racers again!! I really missed racing in Flagstaff, so glad I made the trip, looking forward to making the rest of the races in the point series. Hopefully it won't be as windy next time.... when the wind was blowing as fast as the cars it sure negated any down force going into turn 1.

I've heard a lot of good things about the 'Stang' from some good drivers....so maybe....just maybe. ;)

The pfm 10 is pretty close to the mp4 styling wise. But im going to do an X Stang next.

From the angle of the pic it looks like the body is cut so the foam bumper protrudes thru it. I also like the Turn Marshall ! decal :)

Yes, since this is a brand new chassis, and I'm pretty much a newb, I went with more bumper and less body. lol If you look at the car from the front you see even more of the bumper. It looks terrible but works well. Yeah, I've got a turn marshalling thing!

Pretest pics of the new PROTOFORM ZR1, by the look of the improvements I expect this to be a P-Zero killer.

Wow, great pic's, the ZR1 rocks, thanks for sharing! HST, I run the PF C7 body, we all know it's 190, and I'm reading that the ZR1 is 190 too? I'm hoping it's a bit wider, which from the looks of your pic's, it is? TIA Mike ;>)

I'm assuming I'm not the only one with this problem, but with modern sedan body posts, I continue to find that the rear is never long enough for some of the really scale bodies (Tamiya bodies specifically). I've now had two different bodies where I had to frankenstein some posts go get the body to mount up. Has anyone found a decent long replacement, especially a direct fit, for these standard stubby body posts?

Thank you,
Ryan

Check the Parma website, they may have some posts that are long enough. Granted, they aren't "direct fit" but may still help you.

What car? My Tamiya cars have always come with extra long rear body posts that I have to chop down by about 75%.

Yeah that's damn close. Can someone show me which real car the exotek car is based on? Maybe I'm overreacting.

I thought it was the P​​​​​​agani Z​​​​​​onda, hence P​​​​​​-Zero
