    shit should have waited, already placed the order.

    I bought the prolines for the front last week, just bought the rears a few minutes ago. I did look into the d8t shock before i bought the prolines, everyone who runs them loves them. I just went with prolines cause they should fit my needs, if they break ill step up to the d8t.

    Oh yeah, I installed a rear HR carbon fiber chassis brace a couple weeks ago. It matches the front brace nicely :D

    Is it weird that I'm overjoyed that now I just have my SC10 and don't plan on buying another? I pretty much just bash my SC10 until something breaks, then upgrade whatever broke. The only part that ended up really costing me was the motor/ESC (totally worth it :D )

    What type? I kinda freaked when I read that you didn't want something RC wise, seems mostly the other way around.

    I'm always gonna be messing with my SC10, I just don't wanna drop a big chunk of cash on another R/C for a while.

    As far as the bike goes... I'm really into bobber type bikes. Something low and laid back but not a douchey OCC style chopper. Been thinking about an old honda shadow or something.

    Yes, no, maybe? I'm still reading up on all kinds of stuff. I need a job worse than I need to spend money on another model, (have not worked since Jun.). Couple of long time buddies have offered different options for me, one has offered to give me a Ofna roller, another a ESC/motor system he's no longer using. I'd have to come up with batteries. Another told me he'd buy me what ever I wanted, pay him back whenever. My oldest RC buddy says he's gonna buy another for himself and let me mantain and run it. I've told them all, I'd do something when the time is right. I'm hoping by getting our track back in shape, my 1/10 scale stuff will curb my desire. Why do you ask?
