The first Choti car has been received and the winner is David Bradshaw.

Not that there was ever a race to be first but the first car is in, therefore, we have the beginnings of a race.

Mine isn't going to be there for a few days. Considering taking it out for yet another test run today if I can get these dang Ferrari bodies painted.

Thanks for the information Randy!

Fed Ex overnight is okay too P.

[Randy Tragni]

The post office (and our military) is the only branch of the government that (in my opinion) actually provides value to our people for the taxes they receive. I therefore, suggest you use Priority Mail and ship by 9/24. FedEx is more expensive (but also a very efficient company) and, generally, a last resort for people who can't manage their time efficiently (again, my opinion). Yes, I know, I am going to irritate someone out there, but, as Eddie Wong says "it's good to be king".
Randy
PS: No, I do not have anything what-so-ever to do with the post office as a professional (I'm actually a nerd). I have just never had anything but good experiences using our post office.

[The Bugman]

i will priority mail by then,thx for the help you guys !

All,
The braid is flush with the track surface at Eddie's. I will check with Eddie what the voltage is and post when I have an answer (unless maybe Durl knows and can chime in?).

I checked the voltage today at Eddie's on the KIng (during the Durl's Enduro race, what a blast!). Track voltage is 14.3 Volts DC. Hope this helps.
