  Live fast, Die young.A little math lesson for you: Another problem: Well I guess 30 mins is a good long life for an RC car. We started out with normal circuit racing(Ben won all three races), but it was only a matter of time before Ben and I decided to make runs under 18 wheelers. I came out […]
  StangsJust for the sake of updates: Ben Ward and I are preparing to race one of these days. Mine might be in that “bad cali/under construction” style, but shes fast. Ben can evade any modern radar detectors.

  Vandero 2News of the Vandero 2 accidentally popped up on Bikeguide a few weeks ago. The hub should be available in mid 2007. Details: The Vandero 2 is over three ounces lighter than the original Vandero, with only a minimal change in the suggested retail price. Employing G-Sport axle technology, this is essentially a mix of […]
  Evo II BrakeMore from Interbike…The brakes should be available in late November if everything stays on schedule. My guess at a retail price is around 35-40 dollars.
