Just thought it would be interesting to you guys... I've just finished preparing her for a race tomorrow. Should be interesting to see how she will hold facing all the new cars and brushless systems after sitting on the shelve for almost 5 years and with an old Peak 9X4. Any way, this baby has a history. It won me the nationals here for two consecutive years. Those scares and battle wounds on her could tell you stories you wouldn't believe LOL  ;D... Any way, enough with the chatter, here she is... Enjoy     Itsik |

That's some serious angle-of-attack on that wing! Really looks nice. Good luck at the race.
'nuff said,
MX4

Hey Varkie. Well to make a long story short, the old magic's still there I started out with a sripping a spar gear which killed the first qualifying round for me (my fault btw, just did'nt pay attention). Along comes the second qualifying round. I'm starting out last, EVERY one accept me with a brushless (most with 4.5 Novaks), as I'm with my 11X2 which replaced the old 10X2 that died on me. The round ends with me in SECOND PLACE !!! First time ever I drove on asphalt with foam tires (allways used slicks but the track was too dusty and slippery for those). The final started with me in 4th place but a pileup on the first corner took me out with a broken arm which prevented me from finishing obviously. All in all, the car was amazing, altough I did'nt have enough streight line speed to match the brushless cars, the car could carry amazing corner speed, not to mention the acceleration which was absolutly fenomenal. Hopefully I'll have some pics or even a video for you guys. Itsik |

Great to hear Itsik.
I was also supposed to go out with my T1 yesterday but rain "dampened" my day. I've already done my Gear convertion and am excited to put it against the younger crew. Will keep u updated.

Yup. Looks good, have done a few runs. Seems to be holding just fine. Thanx Cooper.
