Well i found out why the hyper quit stearing to the right.Both the pivot ball's were bent like a elf shoe.As for shoes I am getting a set of knuckels.I got springs and clutch shoes,shock springs,pcr pro front shock tower,front pivot balls,rear pivot balls,14t clutch bell and some other stuff to have in my box for the pcr.

OW. that was harsh. I just have to remember to take my Ritilin on sunday morn.


Cliff that totally was not about you I was speaking about me and the way I am when im driving and how my ground pounder did when MR Clean was at the wheel and beat everyone except I think JW with Chads Ride

So that's the choice of tires now........ "Knuckles"?? Made by Pro-Line I assume??

MR Clean was at the wheel and beat everyone except I think JW with Chads Ride

Oh sure, pick on the old guy! :mad:

Correctamundo mine are on there way!!!!!!!!

I wasnt pickin I thought you were who beat MR clean

I have something to complain about.............

I went to gas up the car tonight, and the
price of 1 gallon of regular was $1.97!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

$1.76 last night hehehehehe

Actually, you're correct.... I did manage to stay ahead of him,
it was the Stephen kid who beat me!!! I'll have to get even sometime!

$1.76 last night hehehehehe

Yeah it was like that here at noon, guess I was a little late.
They say it'll be like $2.40 within 45 days or so.

Oh yea thats right you were third cause Tony was second and Stephen was first

Oh Yippy with the long drive I have to work thats guna stink.

I feel sorry for Ted and that big new truck hes gotta gas up and drive as far as he does every day

Guess the old ZUMMA will pay-off this summer, 75 miles to the gallon (read it and weep) LOL!!!!!!!!!! :jest:

So then Mike, what was it??????????
I guess a little of everything, that a dumb "rookie" didn't see the 1st time he put the electronics on the car, 'cause he was so excited to get it ready to drive it... lol

More seriously (even if the above statement might be true), I don't really know. But re-starting from scratch, and trying to have every "piece of the puzzle" as it should be in a perfect world definitely helped it.
And I actually know, now, how a throttle linkage should look like and be set up... Learning, learning, learning... That's good !:thumbsup:

I Still think that the servo doesn't move as much as it should even with the trim at the max, but hopefully it should be fine to give Chad and Jason hard time next week (???) lol...:dude: :cool:

CU next sunday, for a lot of fun, and THAT is for sure...
Mike

Yeah, doesn't it make ya happy you're not driving something with a big gas guzzling V-8 that only runs only on premium at $2.18 a gallon? Wow, and to think..... if you have a 22 gallon tank, it'll cost you a whopping $48.00 just to fill it up every time!!! And if it only get's like 14 or 16 MPG.........

Well my buggy wont be here untill monday :cry:.They sent me the tracking number last night.So I wont be out this saturday to tune and break the motor in.But that will give me all next week to get it ready to go.Ed

So your not going to give me a hard time mike?

So your not going to give me a hard time mike?
Rich,
My first goal is to have fun, then I'll give you hard time if I can...:cool:
So far I had fun, so maybe it's time to go to the next step... lol

We'll see how it goes next WE, and the weeks after that.

Mike

And if it only get's like 14 or 16 MPG.........I'm glad you put that in perspective. I can spend more than that going out to eat and that only last an hour or so. Atleast the gas lasts a week or so.http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/images/icons/icon10.gif

Hey Johnny Boy- you don't need a gas guzzling V-8 to feel the pinch with gas prices. Sandy and my cars both get over 30 mpg, and the prices STILL suck wind! I have an idea but of course the gas companies won't do it because it will cut into their profits... Why not cut out the two lower grades of gas? Only make premium, but with no other grades it should cost less, right? I mean, they say most of the cost is in refining the gas (yeah, right), wouldn't it be cheaper to refine only ONE grade as opposed to three?

Tim, thanks for the compliment. and yes it was Steven 1st, me 2nd, and John 3rd. but If I remember corectly we had some fly wheel problems that cost me the win:cry:

Anyway, are you going to visit us at WOOR sometimes ?
The track is awesome !!!
Get an 8th scale and come give us hard time ! Looks like there will be a lot of competition this year...:cool:

Mike
Mike, the only way I could do that is if someone like OFNA gives me a full ride sponsorship:dude: .... really though I would love to come out and race, but its all about money, and I just bought a brand new NTC3....

do you still have your old 1/8 scale?, maybe we can still make some kind of deal
I still have my 1/12 scale and TC3..... Lets Talk...

Hey Chad,

What about a 40 gal tank, 12 gal in the big mower, 5 in the small, 5 gal mix gas & 5 gal reg gas for backup........fill and repeat every 5 days.:cry:

Thats 67 gallons each week

$132.66 per week (that does not include my car and the wifes car)

This summer will suck and may affect the amount of 30% nitro I can afford.:(


Anyway good to see some of you on track building day, sorry we could not stay longer. My son has had his truck started but I have not yet. I am working on our moto cross track this weekend so I do not think I will make it. Plus its mothers day. I guess I could try to come out tonight if I can and run a few practice laps, not sure, I will have to see how much nitro I have.

Have a good one, I am off to burn some more gas. (I heard $2.25 by Memorial day)

$2.25 by Memorial day? WoW! Come to think of it, I guess
even $2.25 isn't all that bad when you consider we're paying
about $28.00 or $30.00 a gallon for the fuel to run our toys with!!!!!

Yeah and a $300 race engine has run times of 8-9 hours........."what are we thinking"

Well my ofna has a new heart coming tomorrow and its not a picco and its not a OS but one of the new Fantoms, can't wait to see what this can do.

sweet.cant wait to see it in action.

I am running the prototype FR 21 in my Mugen MT and it runs well. So the production engine should be better. Some of the R&L guys have these and they like it. It is a 3 port and seems to hold a tune well. Just make sure you seal the backplate and carb. Good drivable power. Top end galore!!!

Oh you gas guys never learn $1.65 wasn't bad today.....

Where did you find deisel around here for a buck 65? Everywhere I saw it was $1.75 and up.
