It's all good Nitro, I'm still learning the terms and the "in's and out's". It's been a pleasure seeing such a helpful community, especially since half the time I go to my HTUSA, I end up starting at the wall of parts wondering if they're upgrades or just replacements... what does what... and the occasional "that looks cool but, will it fit".

Currently I'm working on my Audi R8 and may be purchasing the Jaguar DB9 this upcoming paycheck. I'm going to leave the Lambo's and Ferrari's alone. Great cars, but just too popular. I repainted my R8 to a green pearl to give it individuality since about 3 other people in my area have R8's... all the same color... and you can guess where that leads.

I'll admit, it's been a little intimidating being that this is my first R/C anything since I was 6. I thought I was avoiding that by skipping past all the big nitro cars and going to the Dnano, but I'll eventually learn and hopefully get into competitions and what not. I wouldn't mind finding a bigger track in my area, though. The "hype" factor of racing at my HTUSA track is starting to burn out quickly. With all the space they have in the back where the track is, you'd think they'd invest in something bigger. Still fun to drive, though. I've already had ideas of dropping some cash to making a scale replica of the Nurburgring (one of my favorite endurance race tracks on Gran Tourismo) whenever I get my house.

Qon... Thanks for the link to your YouTube videos. They were extremely helpful and educational.
