Man, what boring lives we must lead. I mean it's 1:00am on a Saturday night (Sunday morning) and here we sit typing on a computer!!

Geezh!

Well, I had this strange thought so I thought I'd share it with you..... If your belt broke, your pants would fall down, right? But if your shaft was broke, well then you'd have a REAL problem!!

I gotta go to bed, Night-Night all ;)

pish posh! Belts rock.

Bill- I'll do anything to help out. That main was just the sum of everything that didn't go wrong in my qualifiers comming back to crap on me. Not a single mistake in my qualifiers and three mistakes in the main. It all ended when that stupid Team ASSociated wheel nut flew off and I had a tripod. Everyone says Team Lousy for Losi, but at least the first three letters in their name doesn't describe their products.:mad:

Well, I guess I've finally found the proof the shaft drive guy's wanted! Seems like I don't remember seeing a shaft look like this, especially when it's only two weeks old! A fine example of another great Trinity product.

Those guys over at Trinity sure are efficient. After there lab tecs ran some computer inhancements and diagnostics on this SMC-500 belt it has been determined that is was a manufacturing defect. Joel has assured me that he will talk to Ernie to see that corrective measures are taken to insure that this is not a reaccuring problem.

Scotty, Thanks so much for the infomercial, but the problem actually stems from a defective receiver pack. Seems it won't take, nor hold a charge according to Father Fredrick. Oh, you'd never believe this but the pack is manufactured by one of our top quality companies that goes by the name of trinity, imagine that!

:wave: :dude: :wave:

I took the liberty of looking up the word trinity on the Websters on-line dictonary. Here's the results.....


\Trin"i*ty\, n. [OE. trinitee, F. trinit['e], L. trinitas, fr. trini three each. See Trinal.] 1. (Christian Theol.) The union of three persons (the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost) in one Godhead, so that all the three are one God as to substance, but three persons as to individuality.

I didn't see the all mighty dollar mentioned anywhere!! Oh, well ;)

Hi J.W.
How did you do with that tamiya shaft drive car on Sat. ???
Did you make the a class???:wave: :roll: :wave:

Scott.. personally I think the Tamiya did just fine considering I needed a gear change and only had the one pinion and one spur. Plus, I only ran one race, but... I will be running the EvoII this winter without a doubt!! Bye-bye Associated.

Hi J.W.
Did you like the sale price on the box???
I priced it just for you!!
:devil: :roll: :devil:

OhhhhhhYeah!! When I took it down from the shelf with Tyrone and looked at it, I almost had a heart attack!!

Geez John, I think your panties are two tight.

Mike,
Before you come to the aid of John, I would like to take this opportunity to say that it was a real pleasure racing with you Saturday. You sure have you car hooked-up. Also was looking forward to runing the A main with someone of you caliber. Maybe next time.
Fred.

Oops... wrong Mike there big Daddy! I was hoping Mr. Slaughter would help me out since he's been known to come up with some really off the wall stuff.
