I have another project to suck the money out of the wallet.  This is a very long term project, expect to have it complete in approx 25 years, but some things are just worth spending that much time on.

Picked him up 24 Sept @ 6.43 in the morning.  Has a funny little squeak occasionally at the moment, but that will be one of the first things to be "fixed".  All is well

But on the happier side, with feet like these he should be 6 foot 6 and making us millions in the NBA by the time he's 21

Are you sure about these models ,I know that they require a lot of maintenence even in the build stage ,And then once you get em up and running the bad steering will kick in and a strange noise comes from the engine although variable fairly easy to predict.
DONT run em on leaded/Super either ,The power will become very hard to controll and never ever take the excess parts from the vehicle because everything that is removed will cause a major whining noise similar to a fire truck.
Congradulations mate ,Well done I think.  Grin
