Sup Monty,

Just checking in with ya. Hope all is alive and well up around your way.

Not much of anything Nitro related near me. Kind of all fell off at once. Bummer too, but what can ya do? Haven't got that xlt fixed up yet either. Been 100+ for a while down here, and wasn't looking forward to some brake ins. LOl. I'll get it going again, and finish the brake ins on the two other mills I have at some point.

What are the main differances between the x3 race and the x3l? My freind has the x3 race and it looks very good on the track.

Lightning has alot more power , the race has a more basic/conservative crank and a lil lesser front bearing.

X5 race and X3 lightning are both awesome buggy engines for sure , x5 lightning. Can be a handful in buggy but perfect for truck as well is the X7

Its all good , I would rather be able to have my dad pit me and get last than a friend and get first , although winning is kinda nice :nod:

Yeah that would be nice. I have one really good friend in Vietnam and he tries his best, a great guy in the pits, but I am scared as hell to run my buku clutch with him pitting me. He shakes the crap outta my car then throws her down, last time my brakes were fading on my XB9 at the end of the 1 hour main and when I finished I found out why, the entire inside was covered with fuel! But he tries and he keeps me calm when crap goes south. You are lucky to have your father involved thats for sure!
