truck...argh... Perhaps he has the wrong tire compound...some tires are
specially formulated for asphalt surfaces...tell him to look into that. Also
the rear pod has to be adjusted...tell him to look into his manual to see how
to do that...i can tell you...but i fear i am going crazy... And tell him to
make sure that the diff is working smoothly...very important that it does...

Right now I'm considering a Great Planes Stick 40 ARF.  I have to

in the world. A few years ago, I ordered a Conquest 4ch radio from
them. I called in advance, to be sure they had the frequency I wanted.
They had 76 units of that model on that frequency. Yes, that's impressive!
When I mentioned retailers, I was thinking more of the hundreds of little
shops. Most of the local shops can afford to offer HiTech receivers on all
frequencies, since they only have to maintain a complete stock of crystals,
along with a few receivers.
