and these are shots of a little sideline of Chuck's: radio control racers!
These cars are the size of a shoebox and pack 3 HP, 4wd  and more technology than you can imagine!

Corsa Performance
Jim Browning of Corsa offered to install one of their classy exhaust systems while we were in Berea.
We decided on the Touring mufflers with the Pro tips, with Corsa's x-pipe which completely eliminates resonance, crackling and popping.
