Re: New guy

The RC does run hot. Not much you can really do about it; just the nature of the beast.

Re: New guy

I think that they will just get hot too. I guess you can try some engine ice to try and keep cooler.

Re: New guy

Try leather instead of jeans and you won't notice it anymore.

Hugger; try places in the UK; they usually have a lot of carbon gear.

Hi. In UK try Pyramid Plastics - I know that several UK Honda maindealers rate their stuff.
Cheers,
Hedge.
