      Thanks very much for that Randy. That will make it safer.

            Thanks Randy, Chuck and Douggie.

            Chuck I have not forgotten those pictures. Should get time to do them later today. I think you said you had an X457 and I also wanted an X455. One blade green and the other one yellow and GO PACKERS engraved on the hub would be nice but I will settle for 2 bronze props though.

              Paddy, it is easy enough to cut the 457 down to a 455 if you prefer.

                Not mine, just a pic from the web but I will post some car pics for the Doc when I paint the body. Maybe some videos for Chuck too
                Looking fwd to seeing pics of your micro-mini with wheel arches tubbed to suit your balloon tyres, M8.

                Here's a paint scheme for you

                  BTW I am using a cheap Chinese radio that has all the goodies and costs about 1/10th the price of a brand name one. I have used the same radio on my mini hydroplane and it is every bit as good as my Spektrum. Never had as much as a glitch with it in 12 months of use. Has a good feel in the hand and easy to program.
                  Awwww.. it's so cute.
                  I bet June smiles with understanding when you talk up championship micro racer trophies. Are they equally as small ?

                  The Cheap Tx is all you have in hand ? haha
                  Sorry, old Chum. Standing alongside 5+ other same Tx, turds grow wings
                  You'd best strap your inflatable hemorrhoid cushion as bumper around the car..
                  Send us a pic !!!!

                    For Chuck

                    If you need pics from other angles let me know Chuck. Yes cut the 57 down to 55 is fine.

                        Don't worry too much about polishing it Chuck. These mods were a standard for all my X series props but if you have some tricks of your own I am happy to try them too.
                        Thanks.

                            Doc,
                            If you go ahead and order a Mini you can get a special lipo from these guys in NSW. It fits in where the stick pack goes and thus has rounded edges like a stick pack. These guys sell minis and parts too as you wil see from their list of products.

                                She is the problem Douggie. No action from her leads to RC ACTION
