3 RC cars...

Thanks to John, I built the alternate model of the Radio Shack RCer.

And for those of you tuning into this now, I’m going to throw this tangent here (for I don’t want to start yet another tirade elsewhere)

I get home from work today, and in my mailbox was a padded envelope from TLC. In the envelope were the two plastic tires that were missing from the Radio SHack store demo. Accompanying the two tires was the following letter--

Dear Mr. Koudys,

Anyway, wanted to point that out--TLC may have some issues but it’s still a companyt that I have faith in, that I want to do business with on a regular basis.

Anyway, looking forward to the RC event.

(...) Interesting... I've built mine more along the lines of an F1 car, lower to the ground and with slicks.
