Watch who you are kicking there Ted. Well I got a new esc, the LRP v7.1 and I'm so excited to race with it that I still haven't installed it yet. How dumb is that? I don't want to waste the sticky tape on the plastic chassis.

Sweet, that way we are all together. Well I did crap last night at the races. I was doing really good the first heat until I got hit on the side. It jared loose my battery connection and the marshel said it was my esc. So I got the car and sure enough, black wasn't connected to black. I even yelled check the battery. So after a good minute of him looking, I fixed my own car. Stupid person. Learn rc's please. Listen to the driver who knows his car. Oh I had someone come up to me after the second heat and thank me for moving out of the way of the faster cars. I was in trouble again with the corners so I slowed down and tried to run my own race without getting in the way of the front runners. That was weird for someone to compliment me for getting out of the way.

I'm close to being almost TRF spec. Just need shocks, universals, front one way, anti roll bars, and blue bearings. Not too bad. I bought my carbon off www.rcmart.com and they have wicked prices.

First would be the lower chassis. The R has better and lighter one. I think the R has universals too.

My carbon fiber upper and lower decks were cheaper than both sets of universals. That is why I did that upgrade first. Plus it looks better than stock black plastic.

They do make a carbon saddle chassis. Very rare and expensive. I know someone selling one.

Are TA04's durable? I think i might pick one up since theres alot of TC happinings around here. I may also pick up a TT01(I hear they are like tanks) for all the enduro races we plan on doing.
