She'll stop yelling at you for using the sink if you work on your car in bed once.

I was running low on glow plug's and fuel one time,so at a race she put a towel down and set up a little tire gluing station. Only charging a glow plug for 3 set's of tires.(12pcs.)The funny thing was Racer's paid her $20 buck's per 3 set's, and none of her tires came unglued. She dremeled and denatured like a profesional! Let's just say I got my glow plug's fuel and some tire's of my own!!!! You guy's should see her drive her mugen mtx3 prospec! I told her to play the girl card and send in a sponsership app, but she said its my hooby, and she's just here for support... Guess i got a keeper!

If you are referring to four AA batteries, they don't have the voltage to keep up with the high powered servos. Most use a NiMh or LiPo RX pack. They last longer and have more for the electronics.

Are you going to Joliet? I've took off work to go up there. That would be a hell of a road trip for you. Could we get Trebor up there too. I have been testing with my buggy and I'm driving much better now. I'm real happy with it. I let the chassis work now. lol

That's getting serious. Surely we can find a good track closer to home. There is some races coming up in Colorado next month. a guy on here named Lars was telling me about the Colorado series. Might be cool. I do some searching.
