Anonymous Racers: MAN Orlando your car was fast!!
Orlando: Yeah, i did a lil homework and finally figured a way to keep up with you guys.
Anonymous Racers: Yeah your car looked good out there.
Orlando : Yeah, thanks. But you guys could still pull me at the end if i didnt enter the Straightaway correctly.
Anonymous Racers: Yeah, but you had a lil more torque than us. You got a Tekin in the there; dont you?
Orlando: Not, I just put a 10.5 in there with my SPX.
Anonymous Racers: (silent )
Orando: Yeah, I think im gonna ask Fred if i can run the 10.5 with my SPX aginst all the Tekins.
Anonymous Racers: NO, Thats not fair you had more torque than us.
Orlando:


had to post it.. GOOD TIMES!!!

How is the Tamiya setup testing going? Still testing? The system actually looks pretty nice.. and had the hobby shop price one out at $135. Not too bad at all for the whole setup. They say that this system is equivalent to a 23T Brushed motor, which seems to be about right.

What do you think will happen with F1 for next year? Will it remain silver cans or will it go brushless?

I just need a bright car to follow around in the dark for the main.
The Costco Sooby is a wee bit hard to see.
So please paint your car bright pink or something easy for me to see Stevetech.
I promise I won't hit your car...
too hard

It'd be worth it just to see the look on Steve's face.

(I would)
