IMO, now that everything is going lipo (yippee,) a good fma balancing lipo charger is much better than pretty much any other charger out there, bar none and regardless of price.
I liked the fact that FMA is local (Frederick, MD) and they have great customer service. I actually picked my 10s up at their outlet off of Market St. (Rt. 85).

Two-Tone: Like RayK said, I have some TT01 stuff for sale. When we got this series started, I basically bought everything TT01 I could find that was a good deal so that we could get a bunch of people interested in the class. Obviously that worked, since you can see we've had 22 drivers in the past 8 weeks- not bad!

Best way to do this is to send me an e-mail at [email protected] (I don't do the pm thing). I have 2 new kits with bearings, 2 full RTR's with options (bearings, turnbuckle links, alum shaft, oil shocks), and one roller with bearings & your choice of Skyline, BMW Z4 or Audi TT body. Or we can mix and match- give me a shout, we'll work out a deal and I'll mail the day after receiving payment.

01/17/08 Final Race of the Senior Spec TT-01 Point Series

Do or Die
Sink or Swim

I just completely rebuilt my chassis, and I fear I may be "Up a river, without a paddle".

Either way, I'm looking to have a BLAST!

Sorry Guys, I'm not going to be able to make it up this weekend again. Money is still screwed up and the outlook is not getting any better. Good luck to all the guys who are trying to make up the points.

That is some negative talk from the points leader!!!!!!!!!!

As most know,I will be dropping from the point series , so that you all can bump up a bit.

Big fun,racing and prizes tomorrow!!

Fish or cut bait
Sh*t or get off the Pot

In a chicken-wire canoe.

Either way, I'm looking to have a BLAST!

I think you cah-razy.

We moved my folks into an assisted living apartment this week and I'll be spending much of my weekend unpacking boxes and getting them set up in their new place.
