Adilson has finished the RC Nut logo .. I’m quite pleased with the result, now there are a few other graphical bits to be done.
The website itself is also being finalized, I am not yet posting any images of how it looks, I want it to be a surprise 
, I also found a POS system that syncs with the online cart (Zen Cart for the matter) .. now I need to find a Receipt printer that works with OSX.
Wow .. just the other day I was posting the fact it was 666 .. now it’s 777 … how time flies.

For the past month or so, I have been working on setting up a new venture .. a Hobby Shop
It will be called “RC Nut, LTD”
Here is the preliminary mascot
Not sure yet what we will call it ..
The company has been register in the UK, and now we found a brick and mortal place to set it up, while I expect it to be mostly internet driven sales, one needs to have a proper storefront to be a reseller of the major RC & Hobby distributors.
The location of the shop is just up the street from our house, a major bonus, as it’s between our house and the kids school, so my wife (who will be the one running the shop) can do her morning and afternoon school runs with ease .. heck, she can walk to do the runs …
We are very excited … it’s always great to start a new venture.

A few days back I bought a new V-Spec, the day after a great deal emerged on a Speed .. so I got it too
Just got them both …
Cant wait to test the Speed !!! 
I had bought the V-Spec as a spare engine (already have one) .. so now I am undecided if I should sell my two V-Specs (one used, one new) and get a second Speed instead, actually, i already sold the used one .. so now rest to know, do I keep the new VZB or sell it and get a second SPEED … I will test the SPEED and make my mind then.
I’ve grown fed-up of having my 1600Mah Glow Plug Starter die on me mid way thru a day of racing.
So i decided to get a nice big one, luckily I found out Team Magic makes a 4200Mah one that also has a meter on top
It arrived a couple of days back
Nicely packed …
A few things I like, first, it looks GREAT .. definitely stands out form the other dull starters .. and second, it uses a replaceable Ni-MH Battery, since Ni-MH is fine to store fully charged, I can have a spare one on the pit box fully charged and ready to be used if the other dies.

it’s 8 minutes past midnight, on July 4th ..
I was doing some late night work when i got this e-mail
Hello NullMind,
We at GOT NITRO would like to wish you a happy birthday today!
Its one of those stupid e-mails automatically sent out by a message board, such as Vbulletin .. anyway, I looked at the message and was a bit baffled.
“what do they mean, happy b-day ?” … I was thinking the date on my profile is probably wrong .. when it hit me … “it IS my b-day!!”
I had completely forgot … and I dont mean like you forget the day before or the day of thats it’s your b-day, i mean, it just snuck up on me, I haven’t tough of it since .. well … last year.
Later today, I would have been reminded when the cards and presents from the wife and the girls show up, but still … I just .. forgot ..
Is it a sign of aging ? a few years back I always looked forward to the date .. it was a stamp of merit to be one year older .. but then you hit 30, and before you know it .. your no longer seen as a young professional .. your just one of the “old and experienced” people around the office … (the uncool ones)
Bummer … I want to go back to be the young “know-it-all with an attitude to match” that made the old guys cringe and scared of loosing their jobs for the young generation… Now I am just the “know-it-all with a bad attitude that can fire you himself” .. well, I guess it’s close enough ..
So how old am I ? .. I actually had to think about it .. and ashamed to say … count the years also … I am 33 !!
Yes .. I’m not that old .. but why do I feel 53 ?
Today I finally received my set of Losi Imperial Hex Drivers (LOSA99104) and Nutdrivers (LOSA99150)
They arrive on a molded foam case each .. very nice and tight
The qualify of the tools is impressive, the handles are Hard-anodized aluminum, while the tips are replaceable and machined from tough drill blank steel and treated with titanium nitride.

The Sizes are clearly marked on the back, the Hex drivers are also color coded.
Hopefully they will last longer than my el-cheapo Dynamite set .. but I should not complain .. the Dynamite set only costed about £12 and did last 4 months.
