There's a story behind the window masking....chalk it up to moving to fast and not paying attention to detail. Besides...in past years I've thrashed my first body jumping ramps long before the first race day. I've got an 8 yr old that helps with that!

Things been kinda quiet here. We're getting closer to first race date, I thought things would start to heat up around here.

After the first outdoors race out at Fastlane, I'm definitely ready to keep the outdoor thing going.

**That was with Fastires or Orion foams. I never ran the Nitro Shoes, I don't care for the look or breakage of those wheels.

I would recommend keeping reasonably high to mid sized foams on the car. Mine never seemed to handle very well if the foams got too low. Some cars run well with the foams dang near on the rims, the R40 didn't seem to be one of them. Otherwise though, it was a very good handling car.

See you out there.

What kind of turn out do you guys usually get for 18th scale, And can you run foams on them or does it have to be rubber. I might have to bring the revo just for fun.
