Nice, I have a spokeman ! I will paypal you your cut Lamar ! You are the man !!!

And yes, I was picky on tire choice. I went to "BLUE" JC V1's to free up the entire car, as I was using Pink Hot Bodies Beams. BEAMS are awesome tires that yield a very consistent (and alot) of grip at RCHR. But at the time I needed to switch direction faster and Barcodes did the trick.

IMO, at RCHR when it comes to bar style tires, the stickiest are PINK BEAMS from Hotbodies and Proline M4 suburbs (which Epting and Larry also love). Losi, JC's and other tires are great but require more tuning and skill but can be faster too.

Gio, I think what the guys are fired up about is that you came into the LHS thread promoting an Online Discount Store. The guys at RCHR are fighting the online battle every day with customers at the counter. They have a lot invested in Inventory, Overhead, Track Maintenance, and a ton of other things so that we have a nice place to race on a weekly basis. Coming into the LHS thread to promote an online warehouse is poor etiquette. I know the place you promoted is one of your Sponsors and you're supposed to do that for your Sponsors, but keep that promotion out of the LHS thread and troll for the threads for people looking for advice of what to use and how to go about getting something. The more business that gets shifted away locally from RCHR the more the prices will have to go up at the Shop just to survive. Then the waterfall effect of Track Fees rising kicks in and you start to see less on the shelves at the Shop so when you break something during the race day it may not be on the wall so you can continue your day. I've been racing RC longer than you've been alive and seen more LHS's come and go than many of you have probably even been to. I personally want to keep RCHR around for a while which is why I pay to pit in the back, get my parts from Mark on race days as well as ordering for me when I anticipate a need. You should always expect to pay a few bucks more at the LHS rather than online, that's the way it works for the convenience of having something right there in your hands immediately. I heard someone talking about the price of Kits recently, last I checked Mark is offering a 4 Race Day Pass with the purchase of every Kit. If you break that down to say the price of the 22T which Mark has at $309.99, racing is $15 for the first entry. If you're only running the one class 15 times 4 is $60, essentially lowering the price of that 22T kit to $249.99. Last I saw that is WAY CHEAPER than anyone out there for the "latest and greatest" Kit on the market. Buying a B44.1, Mark is dead even with the online prices so you're getting the most dominant 4wd out there for basically $60 less than any place out there. To me, that's a huge deal and a great move on Mark and John's part to keep people on the track and supporting the Local Hobby Shop.
That's the basic idea, I'll get off my soap box now, got to get my stuff packed up to come race.
Guys lets try to let this thing die off, I hate seeing it keep coming up on the first page you go to on the RCHR thread.
