Pro-Line Does a Re-Design of their Website
Just a quick heads up, Pro-Line Racing has re-designed their website. It’s got a good look, and things are a little easier to find over there. If you haven’t checked it out lately, maybe now is a good time to go tire/wheel shopping for the summer bashing!

The Week that was 04.06.08
Brian, the head cheese and uber editor of BigSquidRC.com suspended me last week. I never thought he would have been personally offended at what I had last turned in, but I guess he wasn’t impressed with my last Cub Report that contained more curse words than a typical rap song.

The Week That Was 03.22.08 (better late than never edition!)
Not much news this week. The biggest news was that Trinity is releasing a new brushed stock motor- it seems they didn’t get the memo that nobody gives a crap about brushed motors anymore. At this point, putting out a new brushed motor is like coming out with a new set of horse shoes instead of tires. Seems my paychecks [...]
