    It's sweet, we were just looking over all the parts bags (he got the Factory Team kit), and only one of our little "main" group has ever had a 1/8 scale. So, we were kinda tripping at the size and beefyness, (is that a word?) of it all. This same fellow is talking about putting a track in his back yard, he's got plenty of room, and he's a bachelor, so no worries there. We're gonna take some measurements tomorrow, he's already called about a couple loads of soil. Another guy owns a Bobcat, and we will just move our lights from the old track. Looks like everything is getting back on track, so to speak. Come on Navistar, give me a call....

    Unless he changes his or my mind this is kinda what we are looking at, as far as a paintjob.

    I'm not sure, but if I've got to clean that shit up, I'm gonna adjust my price...



    No, it hasn't arrived, lol. Got one confromation, that said tomorrow, then another that stated April 4th. There are two in front of you, but, that's good. I can get back in the swing of things. I'm shooting one in the morning, gotta run and pick up some paint, or I'd do it now. The other, my buds (no hurry) for him. So, really only one, and no body as of yet.

    Another thing to watch with the RC8.2 is the upper A arms, there are two versions of them with the same part number. One has reinforcement and the other doesn't.
