    You're right...my search using the search box in the upper right hand corner of your screen only returned 9090 results in 0.16 seconds...

    :cheesygrin:

    There is a ton of info here on RTAs. You just have to search.
    Just an example, my search for my beloved "RTA15TL" returned 13,500 results. Most of those being forum posts.

    The search function is a little quirky. It won't accept less than a certain number of characters - fourI think. For example, instead of typing in RTA 12C, try RTA12C.

    Or use google and at the end of typing in what you're searching for, type in the address of the forum.

    You guys got steals. But I think at 23 years old I got more than my $600.00 worth out of them and they are still going strong!

    I paid 150 for my 11TL's :smile:. Still quite a steal in my book. Now just need to find about 300+ to invest in upgrades to make them really shine :biggrin:
