So Andy is in I bet Damon would do some. What about the whoever is doing the sillyones paint. Norlock?

Is Norlock still doing R/C stuff. I think he needs a ton of lead-time, if you know what I mean.

MCH, check your personal messages...

I think we should paint them ALL bright red and name them Toolbox 1 - Toolbox 10. Or how about we just paint 8 of them white, 1 yellow, and 1 green. That is usually what the A main looks like anyway :P

SS

Leave one clear and I'll print up some WINDEX stickers for its sponsor. :D

I think they should all just be painted up white with no stickers and have all the qualifiers and mains start with each truck nose to bumper lined up by hand in random order (so the drivers have no clue which truck is their's - they'd all have to hold the brake). Talk about confusion! I think that'd be a hoot!

It was bad enough at the CRL Lansing race with 5 white cars. This would be 10! hoo hoo!

Derek,
Way to kill that other thread ........... SAY WHAT ?

I have that effect. :(

OOPS! I edited that after I posted yesterday but I see that it didn't go through.

I prefer white w/white pin striping. Oh, how do these bodies mount in the front anyway?

The back of the cab velcros on. There is a floor inside the cab that sits right on top of your shock tower, so the body posts you run now will probably work.

I'm sure Aaron will be thinking of a way to get that cab "knocked" off in the first minute of the race so that he will have a weight and aerodynamic advantage. Anything to win for him. :D

Geez...how'd you guess that one? :thumbsup:

It is possible, the cabs are only held on with 4 small strips of velcro. I've seen one of our guys who has one nail the board hard enough and the cab was ejected off the body.

And BTW, how would I go about getting a couple bodies to paint?? I'm assuming there is some kind of list that is being put together and I just need to go to the Hub and pick up a couple from Nick???

I will be in Lansing on Sunday. You will need to work it out with me if you are interested in painting a few. We don't need them done until March 23rd, so we have some time.

I don't know how Keith wants to get them to the painters yet. I am hoping the bodies get here by Friday.

Nick, you going to have tables for States?

Yep, just like the Snowbirds warm-up.

Sweet!!!! Besure to leave room for the Big Green Snowplow to turn arround!!!

That reminds me, did anybody ever figure out what happened to that big red toolbox people were looking for???

You know come states weekend I might have to break out my old woods 12th scale....That is if there will be enough guys to run the class.... I am just looking for a good reason to run roadcoarse again. Had a sedan and sold it because I had NO luck with getting the right tires. So yeah any 12th scales? Let me Know.

I'll run 1/12th :wave:

Jamie, There has been a nice size class of 12th scale every week in Lansing. I know that I will be running it at the state race.

Ye'ah... we have been getting 3 heats of 1/12th at each CRL race. I would expect the same at states.

Thanks for the info about picking up the bodies Keith. And if they do come in on Friday I'll just stop by this sunday to pick a couple up.

Also I need directions to the track, since I've never been there before.

Thanks again guys and keep me posted if the bodies come in.

Andy the track is real easy to get to. Take 96 east to 69 north then take the 3rd exit hang a right then left at the first light all the way to the back of the lot where the cars are is the track. I will be going this weekend if you want me to get them or want to ride together.

J-Rod, If you could pick them up that would be great. I would only have enough time to drive out there pick them up and turn around to drive back. I'll even shoot you a few bucks for delivery, or maybe a beer or two at Hooter's!

Dude, purple and plaid, that's all you need!!! Hey, how about you put that 1/12th together and run this weekend at Robbies???

Hammie, you come up too! oops, that's right, you wussed out and sold your 1/12th car...

So any news on the truck bodies being in yet???

Where are the points at Nick? :wave:

No truck bodies yet. Nick says that he will send them with someone to Jackson this weekend. We are talking about having a best paint contest for the Semi Trucks. Norlock is interested, Bad Andy, James Reilly and Fred Baumgartner are too. Nick is looking into a prize or trophy or something for the best paint winner. I'll talk to everyone about it on Sunday.

You people GET TO WORK!!!! I am trying to get some work done and I keep getting Hobby Talk Mailers - Reply to:....

Hmmm...if Nick is racing this weekend, then I wonder where Walt, Chuck and Terry will be. Hmmmm. I'm sure Walt needs the rest of this week to recover from the Birds. :lol:

I thought squirrels hibernated during winter , or is that what you call work ............ :devil:

Nick - do you know Jesse Ramme's email or contact info? He had showed me some catalog this past Sunday with some place that is selling the HPI Nitro RS4 3's for dirt cheap. I don't remember if it was a catalog you guys use, or something else, however. Can you look up the price of that thing for me?

-Rich

I never thought I'd see the day Rich inquires about an HPI car. The world is ending! :lol:

Since the world is ending, you better sell your r/c stuff. I'll give you $27 for it all.

$27.50

27.75

$28.00

28.69:lol:

One of my Aaron Bomia signature wrenches is worth more than your Porsche, so $27 might get you some of my soiled toilet paper.:lol:

I don't know about that, Aaron. I think your kid's soiled diapers are worth more.:D

Toilet paper, diapers and tools. Just what is it that your working on?:eek:

Speaking of soiled toilet papaer -- if that shop vac that Nick had to use to suck up that mess you caused in the bathroom a two weeks ago is included in that $27 then we have a deal.

Your stuff *must* be worth a lot because I noticed that Aaron Bomia signature soldering iron you sold Keith at the G.R. CRL is already a hot item on eBay.

I have set the reserve on that "Aaron Bomia" soldering iron at $1,500. I figure that if someone will pay $150 for the first Monster Stock, someone will surely pay $1,500 for an "Aaron Bomia" item.

If that's the case, then I'll start using them to buy my rc stuff at your place.

If that's the case, then my Reflex should go for a cool $20k then.
