    Damn dude, where have you been, electric totally dominates that loud finicky gas stuff any day. The track I run at makes all the quite guys come in for a mock pit, cause all the gassers were crying unfair, they still are. Batteries have come a long way in the 30 yrs I've been playing.

    I'm not sure, but it definitely needs heavier oil.

    Skateparks and playground with mulch are great. Also, Boat storage lots are pretty nice... when you don't get harassed by big butchy lesbian couples that is... :confused:

    That reminds me (for some reason)

    I drove my truck across the street into my neighbor's garage and cut a donut. He grabbed it real quick and sat it back down after a few seconds. Couldn't really see what he was doing. He sat it back down and said "alright! run her back over!"

    He taped a little airplane/shot bottle of Jack to the back of it. :goingcrazy:

    That thing is insane. I hope they release that radio with telemetry sensors for older models. It would be awesome on my Slash and Jato 3.3
