Ouch... I've driven all the dnanos and I think the best chassis out of the box is the F40, most balanced and neutral handling. Can't wait to get out there.

each franchise prices differently. the one i bought my cars from sold the skyline r35 at $130! cheapest of the entire bunch at thier store.
i've talked to other stores whom claim to have more balanced pricing across the line but i have not verified this. i do know the farther you go west, the great the price disparity seems to be between models. not sure why that is but from the shops i've emailed, this is the case.

Hey guys, just thought I would remind everyone and make it official that we WILL be racing again this Saturday. Same deal as last week. We will let you in early at 9:30am and this week we will try to actually get the racing started closer to 10:30. I'm pretty sure I have the software figured out and we should be able to run hickup-free. As such, I think we should do three 5-minute heats and the main(s). I predict we should have at least six cars/drivers this week, that is if everyone from last week can make it.

New stock
Will you have additional inventory of cars by the weekend? I am looking forward to a Martini/Rossi 917K. I have the core manual to bring along for you to look at and copy.

I do not think the shipment will be in by the weekend. Kyosho orders have typically taken 7 days to get to us and Brent just ordered on Monday. Pedro told me you wanted the Martini car, so I'll be sure to put your name on it when we get it.
I will post as soon as we get the order, but I will be very surprised if it comes in this week.

Did your car come with 50s and 10s? I ended up running FRA 50 fronts and the stock 10 rears. I have the FRA40s I might try again and I also ordered some Atomics to test. Out of all this I am sure I'll have some tires to loan or sell.
Is the store demo up and running again? I looked at the servo last night for the guys and found a small chip on the servo motor gear that was jamming it up. Cleaned it up with an Exacto. Doesn't take much on those little gears.

Yeah 50s/10s... it has a pretty bad push.

I would imagine tire sauce is forbidden! It is at all (most?) MiniZ tracks.

Yeah, we can't have the store smelling like artificial pine scent. Brent won't even allow us to have a microwave because our frozen TV dinners stink up the store... haha.

Tire sauce isn't needed with the Atomic tires. They reinvent the meaning of sticky.
