I still check in here once in a while. How is it going? How's the family and all? - Busy here are always, and the hobby shop here is closing. - No one there races the "Z", but I would pop out there from time to time and pay the guy who ran it $5.00 to run my Z around the indoor track for a while. A few people/customers asked about the cars, etc. etc. I told them that if they wanted one, they should have the shop owner order one for them (He is really cool and will order just about anything for you)... No one that I know of did though. - He had a couple of cheaper 1/24 scale cars for $75.00, New in box for a long long time. Someone finally bought one of those after seeing my "Z" and then returned it. Said it didn't run very fast and he wanted to know why mine ran better. The shop owner explained that the "Z" is a KYOSHO product and is built better than the "X" brand that was cheaper. They guy didn't want to spend an extra $25.00 - $30.00 to get a Z though. - I just checked Kyosho's website and can't believe the improvements they have made... Guess it has been a while since I checked on new cars, styles, chassis' etc. WOW.. They really are dedicated to keeping the Z family alive.
