Very sick MRC! I have a pro roller on the way and I really dig those links. Are they apart of the GC3 kit?

it made a difference on mine but what about flipping the trans around to get the motor more forward

Yeah, flipping the motor really helped me squeeze a few extra degrees out of my side-hilling.

I heard about this from the guy who started fed ex. You should scrape together enough for a one way ticket out with no reservations for a hotel or anything. Go to a casino and gamble whatever change you got in your pockets all on red in hopes to win enough to stay and compete and eventually get home. I think that would be a totally responsible way as a new father to continue to enjoy this hobby. Not to mention how impressed your wife and family would be! Again let me warn you that most of my major life moments begin with a "hey, watch this".

 About as responsible as it gets! I don't gamble though. I know none of the 'tricks' to actually make money at it. I'd lose more than I scraped together to take with me and end up getting arrested for trying to hitchhike home naked.

I don't gamble either, which was evidenced by my stunt at my high school casino night senior year. I took my one chip (not realizing it had a huge value and was breakable by a dealer) and put it on red at the Roulet wheel. Fortunately I won but a friend of mine walked up just as it was to late and was worried I was about to have a very early night.

Hey Richard, what receiver and battery is that? It looks like the Losi battery but what's the receiver?

Good catch Juan. That looks much smaller than many of the futUba stuff. No pressure Jaun but when are you coming out with a mini chassis???!!! |

One small trick Paul (RockHard) taught me that made about as big a difference as any with the mini was to keep the throttle epa's open on my DX3r the whole time while driving. He said calibrate at 150% and the while normally driving back way down to 75%. When you need the wheel speed crank up real quick on the dial. Things seam to happen much quicker with a smaller rig (rollovers and such, so being able to drive really slow in sticky situations was a new world).I am not sure the Ko allows this but just a quick thought.

I dialed in some expo on the trigger. Nice cushy zone around center for that slow creep |
