Raman! Thank you SO much! This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! I will start off with the slower motor and maybe goto the 13.5 later. I appreciate all of this so much!
Also... I just have to say, when you started off "why'd you fall off the wagon?" I literally laughed out loud... and i'd like to take a second to quickly explain why:
I am currently living in a 3/4 house for drug and alcohol addicts. I have been in recovery for some time now and I am just about to celebrate my 14th month clean from drugs and the bottle. The longest i've been sober since I was 16 years old... and the first time i've ever had my life pieced somewhere back together. Unfortunately, as is the case with many drug addicts... I sold pretty much everything I had, and started travelling the country as a street musician for money to support my bad decisions. My R/C equipment, and my old music recording equipment, was the first stuff to go once things got really bad. As stated, I am now living in a 3/4 house, where we can't have things like our own TV, video games, my bow, my rifle, etc... many of the other interests i've had are simply not allowed in this house. This place is geared towards making a lifestyle change and trying to rebuild our lives. Come tax season, I am fixing to move out of here, now that I am being responsible with my decisions again... but, in the meantime, my old R/C car love has come back, along with a heavy nostalgia factor. Luckily, this IS a hobby I am allowed to pursue as per our house rules (you sign a contract when you move into a place like this, which states you will not participate in any activities which encourage reclusive behavior)... so... in a very real way, this hobby is helping me to get my life back, since, as an addict, you tend to lose interest in pretty much anything except the substances you choose. So, when I read that "fall off the wagon" thing... haha... that was pretty much the most dead on opening line you could have possibly had. haha
Again, thank you so much! I literally could not have asked for a better response! Much love!
