I have looked in standard electronic catalogs but have never found the
exact connector, although I've seen some that are similar, but these are
slightly larger and are not keyed properly--you can accidentally plug
them in backwards..

It is like racing with a .15 engine in your car with longer run times.

assistant: Yeah I like to race for fun or to show friends who are not into the hobby my
r/c car. Most of them are car enthusist just like I and they get a kick out
of seeing a 1/10th scale Alpha, or Mercedes Benz fly by them at 45kms. It's
starting to warm up and tomorrow is the first official day of spring.
Ironically, it's expected to snow tomorrow. So today after school I will be
running the car as much as I can. No homework is going to stop me tonight.
A new track is suppose to open not too far away from me. Small indoor track
(40x20 feet).. super small but it's a place to race. As long as the race fee
is not outrageous considering the tiny place I will check it out. I bought
some of my stuff mail-order like the Tekin BCBC11, connectors (litespeed),
and Snake Oil grease and Oil. Significantly cheaper than buying here. It took
3 weeks to get to my local post office. But it didn't matter because it was
winter and I couldn't run my car anyways.
My second pack is going to peak soon so I gotta run.

Yes, Tamiya is coming out with a TA02SW. The Porsche 911GT2 which they use in
supercup is a W-I-D-E car so I trust that Tamiya can re-create the car to
scale or very closely too it. They do a good job on all their models. Maybe
with the SW upgrade on my TA02 I can use that HPI after-market McLaren F1GTR
body.

 I wonder what the shelf life is of those synthetic fuels? I had a bottle

Make sure the ice is thick enough... either that or put on some pontoons!

you!!!!! :'-)  I'm going to be lucky to have "one" track to race on this
year.
I'm thinking of ordering from the larger mail order companies like
in RCCA because the prices seem cheaper even after the US exchange.  ECMC's

is so expensive anyway :'-(

Does "Whirlybirds" ring a bell? The show with Chuck and "PT"? That's
why I named the backboned echo I moderate WHIRLYBIRDS. :)
It's a Morely Bell 47G.
 You might be surprised that it's pretty much set up, but I was having
 radio interference last few times I was trying to get it set up... It
 was (I think - I've yet to experiment), an FM hand held radio in my
 house with a stuck transmitter button that is near the same FREQ.
Yes, but it is a _mode_1_ radio, which means the controls are reversed...
I bought a Futaba to replace it.
 I'm not that worried. I take things rather slow, so If I can just get
 it fully set up and hover, do a few slow maneuvers, I'll be happy. :)
 Yeppers. I had a GMP Cricket I built and hovered for a few seconds,
 then the next day, it was stolen, along with the radio... My 47G is
 HANDCUFFED (no kidding!) in my garage and insured by Colt. ;)
The more the merrier! I might have a buddy come and videotape. :)
Will do. I just figured the stuff that matters is synthetic and the
nitro isn't like gas, so it wouldn't  get bad. Ran a few tankfulls
through it and it didn't overheat. Cylinder bore looks ok...
