Neat test. I put a bottle of silicone oil in the freezer once and then
near the oven while a cake was baking. There was no difference I could
tell in the silicone oil between, say, 10F and 100F. I've never tried

truck would be a no-go with the Legend since it has a long-arm front
end. As of mid-summer, MIP only had the Legend conversion for the
RC10 Team Car and the two they were working hard on were for the
Losi Pro-SE and the Traxxas TRX-1. They hoped to have the TRX-1 kit
