Back still hurts a little,didn't get to work this week because of it.Going Mon.
Yea Wes it's a little under powered with 23cc motor and stock pipe.Roben's got other gears to put in it and I'm going to order him a tuned pipe.It took me a few laps to get use to it.He's already thinking of getting a bigger motor.I'll keep you guys posted of changes:thumbsup:
Check this out.Nice track!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SX7aa7cA_o

Ran some test laps on Saturday, it was nice to get the #41 GS Storm 1987 Monte Carlo SS dirty again.

Roby's 1/5 scale drives like a pan car, a little tweakin' and it'll be flyin' round the 'Hoop!

Opening day was a blast at the "HOOP" You guys that didn't make it sure missed out on some of the best track conditions ever.Hooked up so good Roben ripped the transmission gears right out of his Rampage.Thad and me were hooked also to the point of traction rolling.All in all it was a good practice day.We ran until 5pm. then it started to rain.Redfox hope to see you soon did you see the videos on previous page of Roben's 1/5 Scale Rampage TT buggy?Well hope you guys can make it next weekend:thumbsup:

The bite was right at the 'Hoop last night! The walls have been rebuilt, winter erosion filled in and the track roller has been supertuned (and painted too).

A tad of the dreaded grip roll with the M3's, slapped on a set of Gabby's GRP Parogon-soaked nipplenubs and the ol' 41 GS STorm Monte Carlo was HONKIN on 30%!!!

Here kitty kitty kitties!
