One of the first paint jobs i did, a dale jr. inspired paint My buggy i ran at the 2008 indoor midwest championship, first big race ever and didnt do to good. Original losi 8ight t I think i took 5th Drove my dads buggy to a 1st place B main victory! This my other hobby R/C off-road racing! I race a Losi 8ight-T 2.0 with an O.S Speed 21, JR servos and a specktrum radio.

EZT G JC is into RC racing heavily. Do you know or ever heard of "Josh Cyrul"?
That's his son.
If not, Google his name. |

| WOW i would love to pick his brain for tips. The guy is a beast in the RC world. I bet that EZT G JC is proud of his son. The one thing i was curious about is, can u make a living racing rc's. Does he have a full time or part time job too? That would be great if you could find out soll. |

There full time job is usually R&D for the company they are racing for so for example the company sponsors you and gives you a job if your good. You have to tell how to make the car better may it be move this here to give it more forward weight. A lot of the times in these big races they are usually trying new experimental parts. If they end up being good parts then they get releasted to the public. Basically there job is to race. Also, i grew up racing a guy named Ryan Lutz, google that guy! |
