Could someone post a link to a site that has after market parts for the the Rocket Racer? I can't find them....I am considering buying one....I can get one for 140cdn new with no tax....with a an hpi 180 in it and a larger pack....how will it perform.......also what's your take on the support for this machine...will there be lots or will it dissapear into obscurity.....

If you can post a link to a pic and info for the recommended 7.2 battery that I could use in the machine that would also be great.

I am not affraid of the soldering gun

Thanks.

PS a couple guys at the shop have mini-z's I want this one to destroy it.... if possible

I believe Horizon Hobby is one of the main distributors for this car. The web addr is www.horizonhobby.com. They list many parts for these cars and the list keeps growing. This car will probably increase in popularity due to the recent review in Radio Control Car Action. To me it handles extremely well and is probably a good platform for hopups.

I am running a 7.2v with an HPI 180sh motor in it....needless to say the handling is less predictable.....and it turns a little better in one direction than the other....any tips or a setup that might cure this?

I guess we should post this stuff in the dynamite forum....I started a thread there....post your answer under that..."if you have one of course" things start to get a little tricky with this much power!!!
