Looks like a great movie. I still haven't watched Senna yet. I've been meaning to.

i found out that my HU pulls max 10A, so i will need to use one of my bigger 12v power supplies . i have these 12v power supplies from my RC car days. i used them as power source for my battery chargers.

car audio is great cause it has 4 + sub outs. this way i can place speakers in 4 corners of the garage.
Ah, I was just talking with my friends about our RC car days (they still kind of do it).

I was thinking of starting back up again, but so much has changed that I don't know what's good and what isn't anymore.

Yessir! I kind of miss it. It was loads of fun and I could have gotten into some factory sponsor ships if I had stayed in it, but I got interested in real cars and ownership changes at the track kind of killed it off a bit.

Right? I remember crystals, batteries only lasted 4-5min for the races, lathing motors, brushes... man, it's so much easier now I hear, but so expensive to get back into it.

I wish I could get into drift cars, but anything more than maybe $50 is expensive to me and takes away from car parts lol. It would be fun to have a little drift car though.
