Help,
After having a Force .21 that appears to be on its last legs, I

using in London, United Kingdom.
Does anybody know of a charger that would take both 110V and 240V input

AE has a new home page up, and they don't even mention the RC10GT on it!

put fuel in it and attached the Glow ignitor. After a few minutes of
pulling the starter it finally took off. It ran for maybe 1 or 2
minutes. After steering it back to me, it died. I haven't been able to

Does anyone here have one of these?
I just aquired one and the outer case was bent, so I took it apart to
straighten it out. Just wanted to know if I installed the fan back in
correctly. It is currently blowing OUTwards on the side it is installed on.

I was cleaning up some stuff in the garage and came across a large stash of

Me and my two boys race regularly with TC3's on road, T4's and B4's for
off road at our club track. We've been racing electric for about two
years now. We've built many of the vehicles, and when racing we lug

Does anyone know if they're still in business?
