How much were they going for?

$499 for the 2.26 version. Half of that was paid for by selling my old Mini to a friend. I'm getting his 5 year old converted early. :) It was funny, actually, we were just discussing him buying my old one for his daughter today. I told him if I could find one in the refurb store, I would sell him mine. I lucked up and stumbled across one tonight.

I've only had 2 at a time max, now only 1 as my time is thin. I run a Schumacher Mi4 currently in CA at Ventura Country Roadrunners Club. Actually the oldest RC club in America! Looks like this:

My previous car that the Mi4 replaced:

Supplies? I get my Mi4 parts direct from Schumacher USA: racing-cars.com. Amainhobbies.com and stormerhobbies.com are other good resources.

The charger/PS setup is not avaliable in the States, so I ordered from China: rcmarket.com.hk

You can see some of my cars, and all of my paint jobs at http://www.oomsgfx.com as well :D

Got this last night at midnight, beat it in 11 hours (on hard, unfortunately that's the max setting), probably the fastest I've ever just straight grinded a game.

Loved the game itself though, and it was definitely worth $40 for all the extra stuff inside the special edition box.

This drive for the MBP, but it turned out to be more trouble than it was worth since i had to jump through hoops to get it in. I stripped the locktite hard drive bracket screw, had to drill it out being super careful, then i forgot to unscrew the trox 6 screws from the old drive and proceeded to sell it before installing the new drive since it was in route via ups. Wow, i never had so much trouble installing a hard drive.

Got a new wallet off eBay for like 11$. Real leather, and best of all
it is a replica of Samuel L. Jackson's on Pulp Fiction. Edited for post
on here.

"Might I partake in your beverage kind sir?"

Bhahahaha.

Just beat it, on my 360, took me around 8 hours. Great game, great plot, great ending. More than I expected.

Is Kyosho still the big player in RC that they used to be? I had a passing interest in it about 15 years ago.

Oh yes, in all classes except electric touring car. They haven't released a new EP touring car in quite some time, and I've only seen one guy drive a EP TC from Kyosho, who was sponsored by them, and a member of our club. BUUUT, expect to pay a nice premium for Kyosho stuff. I believe Kanai finally retired as well. If you feel the desire to get more info, head on over to RCtech.net, redrc.net or neobuggy.net.

Modding my macbook pro classic to its fullest potential

A full set of replacement keys for $15 bucks to replace the 4 or 5 I have right now that show wear.

An LG 15.4" high res display - 1920x1200 matte... always wanted a matte display for the mbp.

Don't know if there is anything else I need since I maxxed out everything else on this machine.
