Write your reply.

assistant: yeah.  it is based on the LX-T.  it is called the Losi GTX.  i think it was
supposed to come standard with a Dynamite .12, but of course you can get it
with out.  check out an RCCA, there is a 2 page ad for it!  yeah, Associtaed
is comeing back, but it always had the EDGE over Losi.  i mean, losi only
makes off-road cars.  on the other hand Associated makes on-road, off-road,
1/8, 1/10, 1/12 scale cars.  losi only makes off-road cars and trucks, and
now there fairly new gas truck. i think it was a good idea for associated to
put the composite chassi on the RC10B2.  i have the T2, and wish there was a
composite cahssi for it, instead of the aluminum.  i used to race an LX-T
back in it's glory days, and i loved the compsotie chassi
(Stiffenzel)[D[C[D) fiber resin.  i hate looking at those scrathes on the
T2's chassi.  i have been
into cars and trucks for about 5 years now.  i am waiting for losi to
manufactureso,me electronics, or anm on-raod car.  an on-raod car would
surley make it
interesting for LOSi.  well talk to you later.

excuse my language SHIT!  there is not one track near me for about an hour!
i am only 15, so i can;t drive yet.  your best bet would be to take a look

yeah the money thing can kill ya!  alot of my frineds just stopped cause of

can guess of the old Team truck Assoicaited had.  Assoicitaed also put out
there new recent car the RC10B2.  as you can guess again it is part 2 of
associateds buggy.  They don;t have the aluminum chassi anymore.  they put a
composite one in much like LOSI's Double X.  there is also a DOUBLE XT.  it
is the truck that replaced there LX-T.  losi also has a new gas truck based
on the LX-T.  it is not like the conversion kit that Duratraxx made it is a
full-blow gas truck kit.  i also forgot to mention that Associated won the
IFMAR with their new RC10B2.  with Matt Francis behind the controlls!

assistant: When was this? MAn you are sooo lucky to be able to go see a race with
 the awesome drivers like Kinwald and Hodapp!!!!  Did you happen to
 get up close to the GTX or was it from a distance.  Does it have a major
 chassis change like the GT or is it a lot like the XXT?  What engine
 did Kinwald use? Do you have a gas car?  Have you heard much about
 diesel? It sounds like it would be a great thing, no glow plugs, longer
 run times, cooler engine.
 BTW: Do you read RCCA (R/C Car Action?) Do you have the March issue?

my hobby shop try to set up a Legends league or something, to get newcomers
into the great sport that it is!!!  I have a RC10 too, do you still
have it or did you sell it?
Yes you have! :'-)  The new RC10B2 is looking good, won the worlds this

Basically, if you can't access it with a single keypress from the keyboard,
it's not kosher to use in echomail areas.
Personally, I find the enhanced signature lines annoying and immature.
People have to pay to move the mail, and a four-line signature is adding to
the overhead that serves no useful purpose that can't be served by a simple
