Hey Joe,
welcome to the forum. Sorry, I don't know much about Nitro - I fly electric, but it's nice to see someone in the neighborhood.

Re: Caliber 5

Hey,
I used to do 1/10/ scale cars, and you're right - nitro is unbelievable. It's not practical for me anymore though, because I don't have a lot of time to go to a proper field, and living in an apartment complex, the neighbors would probably complain about the awesome sound of my OS.
