No problem dude! I remember what it's like to be a buckie..I still ask a TON of questions (and poor Adam recieves the bulk of them). I remember all of the help I got from the big names when I started racing, and now I'm doing my best to pass it on to the next generation of racers. It's kinda like that movie Pay It Forward.
We're racing toy cars for bowling trophies..it's all about having fun. If I can take a couple minutes out of my day to find a part number or answer a question to help someone else have fun in this hobby, then so be it!
As far as other pros being helpful..just look for any of the big guys wearing a Losi t-shirt, whether they're local or coming to your track from out of town. Losi prides themselves in having one of the most approachable and helpful race teams out there, and winning is second priority only to helping those who need it.
