Write your reply.

assistant: Hello I see you are a fellow Canadian. I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I
haven't had a chance to run my car outside for months. The weather hasn't
been ideal for running a onroad sedan. Parking lot racing is getting
tremendously popular in my area, I'm pretty sure when summer rolls around,
there will be a ton of people playing around in mall parking lots here. I
just have a feeling that people have bought kits during the winter, built
them, and are as anxious as me to hit the track or street.
The Spring hobby show is coming March 8,9,10th so I'll buy a few things...
PEI is pretty small place.. I'm guess you only have one track to go to the
East Coast Model Centre track right?

user: You are replying to Paul Osman about "R/C Cars".

Write your reply.

assistant: I'm guessing your interested in offroad. The latest from Associated is the
RC10B2 and RC10T2. One of the Francis' brothers won the IFMAR world
championship's with a B2. From Losi, XX, and XXT. The XX will be replaced
later this year though. They also came out with a gas truck called the GTX.
Parking lot racing is the big trend now. Sedans in particular. Every company
except for a few (associated & losi) have a sedan model. The top three are
HPI, Yokomo, and Tamiya. They are so popular because there handle, and look
like real cars on the road.
As for electronics side -- well it just keeps getting better every 6
months... there are other ESC manufacturers competing with Novak and Tekin
and their ESC are just as good or in some respects better.
Go to the local hobby shop and see what they have or read the latest R/C Car
Action Magazine.

TA is Reedy, i think.  yeah i had the old old rc10!  with the gold anadized
chassi, and small suspension arms...i want a gas car too! but the problem is
they are so expensive, i want an TA RC10GT, or that new Losi GTX... or an
On-raod gas...my uncle has a TA RC500, it is a 1/8 scale, and uses an OS
.21!  that thing really flys!  the only problem is that he needs to find a
place big enough to run it!  cause it i so fast!  your lucky! at least you
have a track near you! there is not one aropund here for at least an hour!

assistant: I want to get into gas but I don't have the money :'-)  The TIGER looks
pretty cool.  I got the March issue of RCCA, pretty good issue. Not the
best but GOOD.  The 1/2 page ad of the GTX is "okay" doesn't show enough
of the truck though. Just the top :'-(
Do you have diesel?  Well it would be great if everyone in the series
had diesel then it eould be fair, the races could be longer, and all
the other advantages of diesel.  And you might be able to switch back
and forth between diesel and glow plug easily and thats all you would have
to do to race.

Write your reply.

assistant: Better still.  Write a nice letter to all the mags that advertise Victor.
Explain how un-responsive Victor has been and detail the entire story for
them.  The explain how you feel the mag should no longer carry the ads
simply because Victor has demonstrated a lack of interest and support for
their customers.  Then, before you mail the letters to the mags, send a copy
of it to Victor with a cover letter explaining to them that they have 30
days to respond to you or you will send out the letters.  Works every time!
But remember, be nice about it.
