The most exciting 2.2 Crawler to date is available! The Kyosho 2.2 Rock Force features the first worm transmission in a 2.2 Crawler.  Worm gears are good.  Here's a few reasons why:

• Worm gear design allows a large gear reduction ratio to be fitted into a compact space that also delivers high strength and easy maintenance. The small number of moving gears also minimizes the potential for trouble and results in greater reliability.
  
  
• The large gear reduction ratio works fine with the standard power output of a 20T to 27T motor. Not only can you avoid the high-cost of a special motor, worm gear technology also produces highly efficient and powerful torque delivering excellent low range control.
  
  
• No special ESC is required to add a drag brake.  The one-way drive transfer of the worm-gears prevents reverse rotation of the tires so the tires lock automatically when the throttle is released. This also provides powerful stopping effect on steep slopes and works well with standard speed controllers.

This revolutionary vehicle will be ready to ship on Tuesday, December 2.

If you've been on the site this morning and it seemed a bit slow or quirky, we're having some network issues.  Actually, a dump truck hit a fiber line at our ISP in the middle of the night.  Likely story, right?  Seriously, that really is what happened.  We can't make this stuff up.

Our IT department is "working on a solution" and hopefully it will be running smoothly again soon.  In the meantime, we're going to Chotzky's.

Maurice demonstrates proper Whale Flop technique. This is especially important when filling orders from low shelves when you need to get up close and personal. Maurice is a real pro.

"Rob, we have a blog now," John tells me. "Great", I say, "but what are we supposed to do with a blog?" John thoughtfully puts his finger on his chin and says, "Well we write about what we are thinking, feeling or whatever random thoughts we might have. Everybody is doing it and it's really cool, like polyester used to be." "So I write about whatever is on my mind?", I ask trepidatiously. "Pretty much." John says. “So I could talk about what it’s like to be such a babe magnet?” suggests Rob.

“Well that is not exactly what I had in mind, I was thinking more along the lines of new products & behind the scenes info about AtomicMods.com," counters John.  “Well that is all well and good, but I am sure our customers would like to hear about proper wood selection for a babe-beat-back-stick so it doesn’t splinter on you,”  insists Rob.  “Maybe we should stick to topics such as new and upcoming products as well as special projects we are working on.” says John.  “Yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s great, but I am sure our customers want to know how to work out so you don’t get tired of swinging your babe-beat-back-stick for hours on end”, persists Rob. “That sounds very interesting Rob, but I am pretty sure they would rather hear about more relevant topics, like the 2008 PN Racing Mini-Z World Cup that you just got back from and served as announcer.” pleads John. Rob grins wide and says, “Oh yeah, that was a sweet event, babes were everywhere!” “Smack!" John slaps his forehead in frustration.
