You comments are always welcome, regardless if you purchase the magazines or not. This simply isn't the place however, to voice such and opinion. This particular forum is about show coverage and new products. I appreciate your position, I only ask that you post it somewhere other than in the show coverage forum - not for Serpent's benefit, but ours.

BTW - you had an inkling that your post was a little over the top when you commented "lets see how long this post lasts." Are you surprised now that it didn't?

Steve,that had to be one of the most thoughtful answers(and polite) answers I've ever recieved.....and I will refrain from further posts on this thread...for your benefit..not Serpents....

and yes,of course I had an inkling....but with 70 cars in my collection,and being a regular on different forums,I pretty much have an opinion on everything..(and being in business myself,I hold RC companys to the same high std. I follow....)....

have fun out there......BTW,anything at the X-Ray booth?....I'm interested in finding out if Mario is giong to inclde both suspensions(pivot and NEW c hub) in box as std equipment..thanks...safe trip home.......
