Thank you Sir,

MattZilla (Dr. Lue /a.k.a. Prof. Lue) really takes his time, and puts a lot of effort and precision into everything he does. He takes great pride in all his chassis he ships, that's why he is so successful.

Yo brotha, we miss you out there haven't seen you since Glenn Helen days of old! You should gather up some SD boys and give us a run for the money at the new Irvine Lake Track, or the epic Cherry Valley track. The Cherry Valley shouldn't be too far for ya...I forget the exact area you reside, but it would be nice to race together and play RC again! Hope to see you soon.

Thank you, I wish I had Lue's skill, he is just a perfectionist, that's why if I get anything built I go to him exclusively.

It's a rig rad enough to show me what I want next! I picked up rockpiledrivers race yeti from last year and we are rebuilding it now, but IFS only tickles my fancy so much. A rig that can take most rock sections AND go fast AND be nice and heavy is my kind of fun.
