RCbutcher Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 The fg mini sounds cool. Its cool these 3.0 kits are so cheap have they cut any corners from v2 spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheilstar12 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I got into racing as well and i'm loving it. Can i just say i am running the same engine, servos and design bodyshell that you did (my colour schemes flo pink and met blue). it felt a bit weird when i was looking at forum. i didn't copy you as i built and was racing from beginning of November of this year.
