A lil update from my R/C stuff:
My HPI RS4-3SS has been racing almost every weekend this summer. Its not a top shelf machine in terms of suspension geometry, but its doing good at holding its own against some nicer cars with the same engines.
Upgrades that Ive put on it since, is the 3mm Carbon Fiber shock towers (the plastic ones were warping due to the strong springs I am using) , Aluminum rear hubs (because if I tapped a wall I would break the plastic, atleast these dont break like glass). I also changed the wheel base of the car to about 1CM longer front to back.
Its sporting a new spiffy Mazda6 body also.
Some pics fo my recent racing fun can be found here:

in #31 (big image 900k) my car is the one with the orange glob design blending from red/purple/blue in the middle of the line up.
The blue EZ-Up is mine, adn the dude by it is Neil, my Arch enemy and pit mate hehe we are buds, run the same engine, and different cars... its a total grudge match.
Last week after a 40 lap race with him and 6 others, I won by .64 seconds. Man is it a rush!!
But I am buying a Kyosho FW-05R come spring to race next season. The HPI will go on the shelf in a Show car capacity.
