So, Cameron, are you saying that 4 Seasons stocks Kyosho parts? It wouldn't really surprise me, knowing how Gary likes to have what the racers need. That would be one concern I would have if I had a Kyosho, going to an away race and being able to get parts. Not crazy about prebuying unless I KNOW what I tend to break. My luck would be to buy parts and then break the one part I didn't have. But then, with me running the now "bottom of the barrel" Losi, I'm kind of in the same situation. Will have to bring all my own parts 
. Bummer, since I only just bought this last truck new last April.

Thats the other part of inventory managing is changing with the trends. Right now I see no parts at Tammy's for Kyosho and few an far between else wear. PRCR is you best bet for parts. About 45-50% or more of us are starting to run Kyosho so they need to reduce there other lines to gain the revenue to add Kyosho or just invest in Kyosho parts. Not doing so will just result in a lost sale and mail order wins.
I have a "fix" for the rear hub and the rear arm was a fluke. You hit something hard enough something got to give.

I also need some Panther 2wd fronts and rears for the ECT series. I TQed and won the stock buggy with bald crap tires from last year.

Todd Matthews
Elkman,
That is standard operating procedure for Todd, a rare individual indeed, especially in the very competitive RC world. Ask around and you'll hear nothing but good things about Todd. A truly nice guy and goes out of his way to help others - always!

I think you run enough classes. I did see you put your 2wd buggy down and go on the stand for the 4wd class then come back down and get you 4 wheel buggy.

We will carry other motors at our shop eventually. So far nobody has requested another motor while at the shop. Since PRCR is just starting out, and I work for Team Orion...I obviously went with them since I know everything about the motors and can help anyone who is running them.

Hi Everyone,
I have a couple new things I wanted to let everyone know about PRCR.
1st - Starting in December, PRCR will no longer be open on Mondays for open practice. With everyone that works at PRCR having regular job during the day, this will be a day where everyone can take a day off. So November 30th will be the last Monday we have practice.
2nd - We will be doing track changes every 6 weeks. The layout that is in right now will be ran until December 13th. Then Monday December 14th we will reverse the direction of the track and change some of the jumps. The lanes will stay the same. After this next 6 weeks is up the ECT will be here on January 30th where we will completely construct a new track design. This is how we did it at SoCal Raceway and it always kept things new and exciting.
3rd - Who ever the Track Record holders of overall time at the end of the 6 weeks are, will be given a free race entry and their Name and Time will be engraved on a plaque that will be on display at our shop.
See everyone tomorrow for some racing!
