My son and I will be running our T4s.

I am tempted to do another body with a black stripe, to remember my friend Stephen Shook. "Mr. Shookie" who passed away a week ago today. Great racer, and great friend. I am going to miss him.

About 2 minutes into the film, tha Australian rider, stacks and breaks both his arms and his knee,
Bone poking out etc, its a great laugh.

I didn't watch it. Broken bones aren't that funny.

Did see a shirt though that said,

"Its only funny until someone gets hurts, then it is hiliarious."

Thought that line was funny though.

I'll be running my trusty MTX4R at least untill the MTX5 comes out!
I also just perchased a little 4WD Xpress Pro Mini to have a bit of fun with.
I gave it 2 packs worth of testing after Sundays racing, and i'm really surprised with the performance of the little bugger!
I'm running a 3000kv brushless system from Yeah Racing which propels it along pretty well.
Also got some intellect 4200 30c lipo's for it which brings the weight down to 1160g!
Cant wait to try it out with those batteries instead of my starter box packs!
I'll post some pics soon for you guys.
Running the Datsun sunny - 1200 coupe which looks great!

You surely can Cmotif!
Sorry i took so long to post the pics for you all, but unfortunately i was away in our nations capital working for several days, since i last posted!

Here are some pics of the car with the body and without.
In Case you notice the unusual wiring for the battery, I'm in the middle of changing the connections from tamiya plug to corrally connections.

Also need to change the actual weight of the car to 1141g from my previous statement of 1160.
I weighed the car with the lipo in and its a little lighter than i first thought!
Will have the weight come back up a little when i add the stick on weights to the outside of the battery to balance the car properly.
Still, its practically weightless!

Sorry for gibbering, here are the pics!









Hope you all like them, i only did a quickie paint job for its first body so i could get it on the track sooner to test her out!

That is the Xpress Mini Pro chassis with all the bling included!
Just add electronics and it's ready to tear up the tarmac!
I tested it out with my new lipo batteries and WOW, what an improvement in performance over my 4300 sanyo starter box battery packs!
Here is a link to the manufacturer's web site, if you whant to check out the features and watch a couple of videos of them in action!

I am currently in talks to go to work for a RC company. Will let you know when it is official, what company it is. I'll see what I can do for my IRT brothers.

Here is a link to one site which sells these ABC bodies!
http://www.genkidoridori.com/index.p...roducts_id=776
http://www.genkidoridori.com/index.p...=index&cPath=1
The second is a link to the main body list page.
I'm not sure if you have the datsun 1200 coupe ( as its known here in australia) or sunny coupe elsware but they are a great looking little machine.
The body is actually a reproduction of a famous race car that was raced in the past.
You will note that on the main bodies page, that there are some interesting old school cars there!
Gota love "em!
