Brian, I'm hearing ya on that. I built a TC4 for drifting last year (http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21595) and I was really enjoying it but I to soon fell to boredom because no else picked up on it.
At least this time I'll be racing with a bunch of friends and should stick with it for a while ?
I retired from RC, now life is all about guns and long range shooting.
