The original electronics consisted of:

A JR XR2i Radio sytem $100

A associated super 370 $12
A Hitec HS81mg servo $30
and a matched and zapped 6 cell 1500mah side by side battery (had the punch of a lipo!) $35

All of these electronics were cheap and still good enough to consistently place well at local races

Are you winning more now? I always wondered how much better equipment helped when you're still surrounded by bad drivers who manage to take everyone out with them every few laps. I know with the sprint car it didn't matter how fast it was I always had some idiot land on me as he was flipping down the straight.

Anyway, looks great, it may be time for new tires soon, but other than that, it looks great.

That makes sense, it's easier to win if the truck is still working well. Very Happy
