only reason I run for him is b/c he's a big help with setup at the big races. He's a great guy and would help anyone, but getting parts is a real problem.
before you give up call the hobbyshop directly and talk to someone... might have better results that way
its one of the best cars I've driven, but if you can't get parts it makes it hard to justify running it.
with that being said if you break something you can have it off my backup car.. don't not come b/c of a lack of parts...

I am not sure if this is due to the chemical shortage or the really weak dollar, but yes rubber tires are kind of hard to come by right now. I have not received them yet, but I ordered tires from HK. RC Market is selling Sorex tires for @ $7 a pr. and they have a further discount if you buy in 5 or 10 set (10 or 20 pr.) quantities. Shipping is kind of steep at @ $40, but getting tires for $7 a pr more than offsets the shipping cost. I know you guys like foam, but if you have anybody who is looking to run rubbers maybe you could get them together and have them combine there orders and make one large order from HK. Just a thought.

man joe thats low man I'm not that mean...
with that being said I would've thought by now they would have taught you what a double negative is in school... and they say TN schooling is bad
if I can help someone I will... the hater in me is just a front to keep away the idiots LOL
busse I'll just wait till they come back in stock... I'll try and see if I can get some before the race maybe pick up some at the carpet nats.

bonneville... it'll take a little longer but the chances of making it there and back are probably higher LMAO...
my TA is sitting at 138,000 miles and the way I drive more like 832,000 LOL
I just put in the 3rd transmission a couple months ago (its the 4th counting the orig tranny)... I'm definately not easy on it... lol I look at it like my rc cars costs money to go fast and the faster you go the more you are gonna break... its figured into my yearly budget

Sounds like I should be driving a touring car instead of running 12th scale. Are you guys running Nimh batteries in touring with brushless or is it now Lipo?
