Im not sure how profesional your partner is seeing as he is calling us "girls"

He nor you have any idea what kind of caliber racers that you are talking to.

Glad you asked. Suspension, tires, wheels, exhaust system, engine (pending) etc. We are currently deciding on which ones to officially go with.

Those who come back with negative comments will be turned down.

ah ha! Nothing gets past Kevin!
Seriously, if you are an area racer, then you would know all the local tracks. The best thing to do is to go to Trackside or RSJ and talk to people in person, and maybe absorb some info, because it's really sounding like you don't race much.
If you were a fast racer, you'd know who the other fast racers were and you wouldn't need to solicit people online.
If your car is that top secret that you can't even discuss basic design, then bring sketches/ideas to one of those tracks and I'm sure you'll get plenty of feedback.

Well if you two know anything about racing you would go to the race tracks and talk to people. If I was building a car to race at Daytona I would not sit on the net asking random people how to go about making my car faster. You two obviously have not any idea what is going on or how to make a car fast…other then a K-Series. The more you two talk the more it just sinks any hope you have of getting anything going. If you were fast at all you would know that doing something like this is stupid to the fullest degree. I cant recall Losi or Associated looking for “racers” on the net to get test cars to try out and make faster….no they have whole design teams and drivers that are worthy of getting paid to do it not some guy changing tires and oil down at the Amoco.

On summer weekends, I race as many of them as I can. The last big race was an invite down to Arizona. Sadly, i wasnt able to get in a setup, that and my old Fantom threw a rod thru the crankcase.

kinda true. I've been racing for a long time but no one knows my face at tthe sedan races. Go to an oval race not long i'll be setting up someones car. Point being you need to get out there and make your face known a little.

well......that all sounds very technical. Would you mind speaking in more general terms?

Exhaust? Are you designing a 1/10th scale nitro TC?

It wasnt a invite where BK, Pavadis and the gang were at. I am family with the owner and a couple of the racers, so they dedicated it to me for my first offroad championship.
