    The battery takes care of that. Or did, until LiPo's came about. You want more weight over the wheels with power... or I do, at least.

    it depends on the type of track

    less traction you want a rear motor setup

    higher traction a mid-motor setup works best

    That video makes me feel bad about how terrible I am at driving these things. Then again, I'm not driving on a pristine, fresh groomed track.

    well they do get paid to drive, and IMO that isn't an "offroad" track is a onroad track with jumps

    It used to be my wife's "craft" room. I kind of took it over. ;)

    Thanks.

    I want to actually pull those wine shelves out since we don't drink it and put my cars up there on regular shelves. This is so I have more room

    I want to put in a keg-orator in the lower cupboard. The upper cupboard goes threw to the kitchen. I want to get an extension threw it so I don't have to walk back there when I need a refill.

    :)

    Sounds like a keeper, I wear the apron around here, well for the last 8-9 months at least (out of work, zero income from me). She's got a decent job, and I don't really mind.

    Lol. That's cool.

    Start a business painting RC bodies. Pretty sure there are people out there that don't want to do it.










    People like me!!! Lol

    I spray a few along to at least support my habit. As I've said before, I can't really "make" money if I go back and figure my time, but I do enjoy it, and it's not like I'm doing anything else.
