Default ASK Ronnie Gardner(Kyosho Electric Offroad)

Desided to start a thread for Kyosho offroad cars RB5 and Laser zx-5 SP!

Well it seems i have nothing else to do these days but go play with little toy cars and surf the web so this should keep me buzy..

SO any questions about electric kyosho cars...just shoot!

Hi Ronnie,

how are you finding the change to Kyosho compared to losi cars?

Can you post your 2wd set up from the CRCRC champs please.

are you still running the prototype 4wd from the worlds , or did you run a SP?

Which shirt size looks better on me? Large feels a little big, but mediums tend to shrink and then get a little too small. So my real question is should i lose weight or eat more?
