With a b4 I think you can use the Custom Works wheels with the street track tires.

I've never worked with R/C before and my project is to install a Spektrum Radio control system in my full size Lost in Space Robot. So in the coming months I'll be looking around the site and reading everything. I'm looking forward to learning about this stuff....Anyone else from the Denver area??

Hello everyone, I'm a newbie looking to build my first model, the flying sub. I also would like information on building from scratch or buying an R/C model of the flying sub. I've seen it on the internet, so i was wondering is that something you buy or build. Also, where can I get the parts or information I need to get my project off the ground? My pool is a waiting!!!:)

My name is Ken & I'm new to the whole R/C scene. I'm moving to a new home, on a lake next week near Inman, SC. I raced full size stock cars all over for about 30 years, retiring from driving them about 2 years ago. Looking to get started with R/C, as I'm looking for a new hobby & have always been a fan. Plus, my wife says I need to find something to do!

Hello to all, my name is jeff, and i'm new to the rc game, i like restoreing old bolink cars. I have placed an order on bolink.com thats under a new owner, no reply, does anyone know whats going on with this site. I understand that taking over a busines can be hecktac, and i am by no means say anything bad about it. I would just like to find out if i'm going to receive my order.
Thanks for any help

I have a great planes cessna 182 skylane. It takes an OS .40 or bigger gas engine. I want to convert it to electric. Someone mentioned a J power electric motor. anyone have any idea's ? It has a 65 inch wingspan.

Well, I've been wanting to get back into the RC world for a very long time, and this year I decided to pull the trigger. I havent been involved since i was a kid (20 years ago), and I though it wouldnt be that different. WRONG! Turns out I'm more of a complete Noob than I thought I would be. No matter, though.

I did some searching around to see if there were any tracks, clubs etc near my house in Jacksonville, and to my total surprise there is a great complex not far from me. I work offshore for a living piloting mini submarines for the oil industry, so when I get home I plan to go check things out at my newly found local track.

My boss was into the scene until recently and offered to sell me his T-Maxx 3.3 (HEAVILY modded), and I have been looking at buying a Slash as well. Not really sure what I'm doing with the nitro as I've never owned, or even been around one, but the guys I've talked to from the local track have been helpful and more importantly patient with my noob questions. Great board from what I see so far, so thanks for having this up for guys like me to ask and learn.

Hey everyone. I'm just getting back into the r/c world after about 20 years. I messed around when i was a kid and didn't really learn anything technicall, so I'm pretty much a newbie. I just recentlly got an sc10 and lovin it, but its time to clean my motor. I've got the motor cleaner but I don't know what to lube it back up with when I'm done. Will normal 3 in 1 work? Please help. I live in the middle of nowhere and have nowhere else to go....

Longtime fan, previously raced 1/10 scale before at Ray's Hobbies in Warwick, RI. Been out of it for about 15 years and looking to find an indoor track somewhat nearby to race again. Heard through the grapevine that there's a new shop in North Kingstown up and coming --Bobby's Hobby Shop??? Shop/track was supposed to open earlier this month.....anyone know if they are?? Looking to get into a spec division of NASCAR trucks or cars
