Team Przekop Nitro Motorsports

Many people don't know that I have a race team, well sort of. My unofficial race team is currently not a team or at least a one man team. Team Przekop Nitro Motorsports has one nitro gas R/C car and one driver. I do plan to expand the team in the next five years and make the team an official team with more than one driver and car. I started the team in a single thought and made it. Right now my on road Traxxas Nitro 4-Tec limits me to on road races. My car is in need of a chassis overhaul, the motor is too small, the exhaust needs to be bigger, and the drivetrain needs overhauling too. Oh, and my car needs a new body. As of right now money isn't coming in, so I can only go with what I got. My car is capable of going 65 MPH; yeah not bad for a 1/10th scale car. I do plan to write more stories about my R/C car team if things get going.

Zippo BLU Lighter

Another Zippo review this time with the Zippo BLU Lighter. Zippo did it again with another extraordinary lighter. The Zippo BLU Lighter has been out now for couple of years with mixed reviews. I am going to tell you the pros and cons of this beautiful lighter. First the pros, the Zippo BLU produces a very hot (very blue) flame. The Zippo BLU is capable lighting other things, besides cigars, like candles. Like the original Zippo it has a refilable flint device. It also has the Zippo click when the lid is opened and closed. Now the cons, the Zippo BLU lighters tends to be touch and go with its ignition, but only because the fuel is escaping the pipe at a high rate. The other disanvantage is that flame does tend to go out if just release a little bit of pressure on the button. Other than that it is a great lighter that is more sucessful than not. As for the flame it produces a flame that is about an inch and a half high, which some people say is not high enough. In my opinion its high enough.
