I personally use an Iwata Eclipse. They are very nice but it depends on what you want to spend. I think you can find one for about $100. Here is a couple of links on ebay...
Me Too. My wife just says you have to get it yourself. Luckily she doesn't say much about me buying stuff anymore. Been married long enough now I guess. LOL

Check your receiver battery levels and all the connections on your receiver. You might check the antenna wire and make sure it is still secure in the receiver. Have you gotten the receiver wet? If so you might want to let it dry out with the power unplugged.

Another avenue for the flex hose is you might see if there are any Vacuum truck service companies in your area. We use it for vacuuming and they generally throw it away when it gets holes in it. The local rc club gets a lot of our used flex for the lane dividers.

You going to use the corrugated pipe for the lane seperations. If so you might looking into a 6" plastic flex hose. You can find it at some of the plumbing stores. You may have to ask for drainage flex hose. If you can't find any let me know because we use a lot of it at my work and I can ask...
Alot of the guys are running the LRP Z.28R Spec 3 and the Axial .28 spec 1s motors and they seem to be happy with them. They are both in that price range. You might want to look in the forum for the engine section for more info.

Looks like it could be an interesting track. Post some pics when you get it completed. I would love to see how it looks. On the section between 3 and 4 you were wondering about, you might try some offset moguls. Every other one starting on the same side and ending about 2/3 of the way across...
I agree. It will damage the drive cup more on the side the pin is contacting more if you run it very much. The hard chrome dogs for the money are probably the best.

Ok guys here are some pics of the front end. I ran about a half a tank today and broke one of the front upper a-arms in the pics. I slammed the truck into a chunk of concrete i didn't see trying to line up a jump. I hit it at full speed. I haven't taken of pics of the rear yet. It looks...
Thanks Nitro,
Got the front end done last night. Hopefully get to finish today or tommorrow. Will post pics when I finish. I did notice one thing with the Team CRC steering blocks, they seem to have about 10 to 15 degrees more movement than the stock steering blocks do.

Yeah i kind of got two sets, the RPM have uppers and the Team CRC alum. Haven't decided if I am going to use the CRC tops yet, but couldn't pass on the price.
Yeah that is a good deal. I have been looking at them, HPI Goliaths, and the Losi Zombies. Haven't found that good of a deal on four though. Who did you get your TVP from?
Thanks Moto. Actually just used rattle cans, but took a lot of time for the masking. My next one I will do with my airbrush. Just wanted to get a lid on it so I could do some bashing. LOL
Ok guys I decided to spend some money last week. Here are some pics of the parts I ordered. I got the last of them today. I will post pics of the installation if you guys would like.

Savy before adding new stuff.
RPM A-arms and center skid plate
HPI aluminum shocks and oil...
