Yeah, it sure was fun racing with the Flagstaff racers again!! I really missed racing in Flagstaff, so glad I made the trip, looking forward to making the rest of the races in the point series. Hopefully it won't be as windy next time.... when the wind was blowing as fast as the cars it sure negated any down force going into turn 1.

I've heard a lot of good things about the 'Stang' from some good drivers....so maybe....just maybe.

Yes, since this is a brand new chassis, and I'm pretty much a newb, I went with more bumper and less body. lol If you look at the car from the front you see even more of the bumper. It looks terrible but works well. Yeah, I've got a turn marshalling thing!

Wow, great pic's, the ZR1 rocks, thanks for sharing! HST, I run the PF C7 body, we all know it's 190, and I'm reading that the ZR1 is 190 too? I'm hoping it's a bit wider, which from the looks of your pic's, it is? TIA Mike ;>)

I'm assuming I'm not the only one with this problem, but with modern sedan body posts, I continue to find that the rear is never long enough for some of the really scale bodies (Tamiya bodies specifically). I've now had two different bodies where I had to frankenstein some posts go get the body to mount up. Has anyone found a decent long replacement, especially a direct fit, for these standard stubby body posts?

Thank you,
Ryan

Check the Parma website, they may have some posts that are long enough. Granted, they aren't "direct fit" but may still help you.

What car? My Tamiya cars have always come with extra long rear body posts that I have to chop down by about 75%.

Yeah that's damn close. Can someone show me which real car the exotek car is based on? Maybe I'm overreacting.
