Jak and here you said there was not much activity lately guess you'll have to get on the ball. Do you have any hot setups lately??? That Jamie Hanson kid is sure running well.

Not much to say really.... LoL

Hanson has the hot setup, my car runs really great and handles awesome, its the idiot at the transmitter that holds it back. Maybe I will go do some maintainence on it.... :devil:

Hey Chuck, we didn't race pancars on Sat. as Casey and I were the only ones that showed up. We only had Stock truck and stock touring car for classes, I think this past Sat. was the lowest turnout we have had since we started running at the Big Bear.
The #'s you are refering to are the amount of posts you have posted on the forums total since you became a member of hobbytalk.

That was honestly the first time I EVER :drunk: dialed anyone! And it was fun, I got to talk to you, Uncle Walter and Zippy. :) I very well may do it again too.

And no, I :drunk: dialed you for fun, I was just happy to be ONLY two laps down from Mel!

So George, did you realize there was a Futaba S132H servo in the Legned that you traded me? Should work real well in the pan car..... :devil:

kingpin
03-23-2004, 11:07 PM
Sometimes I get legends in that are very clean, and need very little attention before I sell them. Sometimes they have better equipment in them than a legend requires. That is how I occasionally sell one with "illegal" equipment. The only downside is that I get tech'd more often than some. I have always played dumb, and got away with it. It is even easier now that I have senility on my side. I hope you are feeling guilty for putting one over on the old guy. I once sold a buggy for $55, and the guy told me he would have paid $50 for the servo alone, (after the deal).

Ordered a bunch of legend stuff from a guy today. I see a lot of happy campers at the next MP race. I might get my good rep' back after beating up on the babies last race.

Finally got all the results back from the various tests during and after my physical. Seems that I am in very good shape, for the shape I'm in.

Good!

In all honesty, I think the s132h was a good servo a number of years ago.....and it has been replaced by now. Looking at the specs it might be a little weak for a pan car. And no, I don't really feel guilty. :)

03-24-2004, 06:24 PM
Jake A lot of us had the 132H in our pan cars. Now there are alot of 9601s and 3002s.

too cool, kevin coming to the soo.

Oh yeah george, how many legends guys do you think will be coming?
If you can gaurantee me enough I will get trophies, if not I'll just charge them $5 and you can run fore Ribbons just like last year.
Let me kow there OLD legends master.
Later, Joel

03-24-2004, 09:33 PM
Joel,
Looks like at least three, and I am hoping that Kevin will be there also. That would make four, IF he wants to run legends. I doubt you would want to buy trophies if there are only three. When the other guys hear that I will be running 4 cell stock, that will make one of them want to fill a heat of Legends.

My very first RC Car was a Kyosho Big Brute. A year or so back, I bid a really low bid on one from Ebay. I wont it, got it and let it sit in my closet since last May or something.

Well I pulled it out today (Chris was at work :) ) and cleaned it up. It looks pretty good, need to toss some electronics in it and give it a try. The body is obviously not the original, but thats ok. Heres a pic.

04-23-2004, 07:39 AM
Casey, Painting Legends is harder than painting a pan car, and I am sure that it would not be any harder on a truck. Right now, I have a full Jr. set of decals, but no Sr. set that I can split. I also have no monte carlo bodies, and E-Maxx bodies go for almost $30. I will be at MP tomorrow, so if you can bring any of those things, I could probably have it done by next week at the Soo.
