Thanks OTO, I saw that. I just can't afford the shipping for that thing. I found a guy in Nebraska, who is a little closer, I'm negotiating, but I don't think we are going to come to terms. Will see.

Tedbull, that car is a 2.970 at least on appearance alone. You obviously have earned some skills on the RC stuff!

You are too kind. Thank you.

I need to up my PWD game. Currently I test my steer on my dining room hardwood floor. I have a cheap drill press and no router. But I am using a silver bullet now. And I use a end mill bit to cut weight pockets.

The best thing I bought for the hobby was a porter cable bench sander. Man has that saved me some time shaping the bodies. The band saw I bought is not fast enough for wood. The scroll saw I picked up is low end but works, and I use that for cutting my fenders.

Here is my wish list of things to buy:

1. A 2 lane 35' Besttrack with champ timer. Going to cost at least $1,000, probably wont happen anytime soon.

2. I need to build a tuning board. DD4H graphic with glass top. And leveling feet to dial in the levelness and slope.

3. A proxxon drill press or mill.

4. Legend axle bender.

5. A benchtop band saw with a faster blade speed.

6. A benchtop lathe to make/modify wheels

And then a whole lot of build time, trial and error, and post reading.

I added one more thing to your wish list for you!

And I know some people look at me funny when I say this, but even a homebuilt track and timer can help you learn, you don't have to spring for a Besttrack right out of the gate.

But when you do get a Besttrack, the weather in St. Louis is really nice this time of year, would you consider moving?

Look Viz.....I'm gonna be honest .... I just can't wait to be in "The GO shop" again. Instead of using a hotel desk. I can only imagine what house keeping is thinking when they come in the room to clean. What the f@&$ is going on in here. Plus lugging it in, lugging it out is getting old. Trying to be inconspicuous carrying a drill press, dremel on a stand and three or four tool boxes full of derby tools isn't the easiest thing to do. People tend to look at you funny.

HAHAHAHAH! I bet they have called DHS a few times on you.

Have drill press, will travel!
