Yes, the Protoform is still around... BTW, discuss with my friend further more and I am not going to use the Mazda 6 body since the aero of the Mazda6 might not be able to provide the steering I need in the infield...

Gonna test 2 bodies next time

and:

These two offer more steering response but I have to test them out to see how's the stability..

Regarding the motor speed, the class I run this time will be more equal to 23turns backs in the days, but with the updated electronics, it offers more punch out of the corner and less drag from the motor under deceleration..

Back in the days there's lots of choice, and it was fun seeing McLaren F1-GTR, Integra and some LM body running around...

Sup guys

I was looking at the Z emblems I painted with a fellow car enthusiast. After a discussion, I think I am going to add some clear. Anyone see a problem with sanding the existing clear a bit (maybe 1000 grit), cleaning, and spraying a couple more wet coats?

i have the old R1.

im sure the futaba is just as great. it's usually've been between ko-propo and futaba for me too.

well, i know the chief engineer there so i am sure one call would get me one if i tried.

i dont have much time to rc right now so it's been on the backburner of things to get.

Just got a call from my friend and he know someone is selling a Sanwa radio.... top of the line too..... for the price of that 2nd line Futaba...

mmm.......

That's the plan µ, and I can use it to shovel the snow for my neighbors' driveway too, make some bucks..!!!

Hey Mr.kenchan... regarding the body, since this time is an official race, so the body is limited to 4 doors sedan body and have to be a certain standard. Well, basically there's only 3 bodies which are the most poular and I am going to test a Mazda 6 and see how it goes... :

This is more like a neutral handling body and quite stable at highspeed, but will have to test it first...

GL LTT!!!

cool car!

You're right, I worry more about other people crashing into one of us. Most people do not know how to drive in this weather with or without snow tires.

mr. Bc and i had a lively discourse on that exact scenario just this morning....i drive through a depressed country side on my way to work. He says since i motor my Z so much that it's just a matter of time until some idjit country taffyapple hits me (and you KNOW they have no insurance

......defensive driving is the order of the day. I can't NOT drive the Z....its no good to me in garage.
