Wes , do you know what a Perry Pump is.?
Is it a specific type of pump actuation or is it just the make of a small pump.?

Hmmm.
Interesting to say the least. Sound like an expensive hobby. I wouldn't mind the cost if it could carry me around. I would have the patience, and now the time but just not the $$$.

General rule of thumb- If its shiny, its expensive.

I like meeting inventive people. I dabble in electronics when I can. At present though I try to get outside whenever possible, walking, camping, stargazing.

Thanks for ther post Wes. A good read.

WES!!! After looking at the site you said, I had a bit of a squiz around for similar radio controlled cars on the net. THere are some absolutely wild beasts out there!!! I would love to have the money to get into these things, they are fantastic. Imagine the potential for making your own modifications and building extreme vehicles that don't need a massive workshop!

Thsanks for recommending that site. Here is one that I really think you should check out just to look at their motors:
