Default I Just Finished Rebuildind My RC Car Track

Well, it wasn't just me. My brother did as much work as me. It took us Saturday and Sunday to rebuild it. Here are some pics.

Hey `Brett, Really looks like a lot of fun. I envy you.
How long did it take to build?. Whose the better racer? You or your
brother? Thanks for sharing.

We built it three years ago. It took us about three months to build. Each of us are as good as the other. It all has to do with the setup. My brother's truck is as low as it can be, so he is fast in the corners. Only the front of mine is lowered, so mine is slow in the corners. But I make up that lost time on the straight. For some reason, my brother's car doesn't shift into second gear, so his is slower on the straights.

Thanks for the pic.

ok 83, not to hijsck your thread but is any of the folks here in to R/C cars abel to help me find a cheap helicopter that is ready to fly?

looking for somethign so i can lern to fly it and still have some fun with it later dont want somethign that will be boring in a week or two.

So any help would be great.

I like the R/C cars but i have a jeep i never even look at most of the time i have done to much with it to make it fun anymore . till i get a track built or something closer to wher ei live i will jsut run it once in a while for giggels.

Oh and i would really like to find somethign in the nitro instead of ELE. as i want more then 5min time limit on a flight if i can find it
