Sometimes some outside help is needed to keep guys in check, we can get a little...umm...carried away, especially when it comes to guys who do RC...we tend to forget that money doesn't grow on trees...well, actually.....


Nick

I would never do that to Nick.she has good reason to.... believe me.... technically, i dont need them, PLUS.... i just bought a CRAPLOAD of stuff over the last like 3 months..... its not like she's being selfish.... when ya go thru like 4000 to 7000 in like the span of a year and a half on R/C stuff... it kinda get rediculous.... heh... i am a bad boy....

No, you pretty much know everything I've got R/C related, I don't think I have the RC bug as bad as Tone does, but them again, he is still a newbie!


Nick

I might have to drill out my tranny case to try it, but I'm not too crazy about that idea. But, I will not be trying it without bearings.

There's always a SportMaxx, or Ebay, you can get a used one for a good deal, just be careful of the engine, I don't know if I'd trust a used engine...

Hows $250 for a used Tmaxx with an OS in it and the Traxxas motor on the side?

No, but that sure is a good idea, Tmaxx is so dirty....

cool now we will a have a 4wd class

Mike is that pin in this picture http://www.hobbypeople.net/gallery/375381.asp for the cvd rebuild

Just called tech toys they said they should have the b4 cvd rebuild kits in on friday so when i go if its got the pin in it i will pick u up a pack

Thats it ERIK, it has the pins. If they dont get them in, it looks like i wont be racing this weekend.

Uhhh, NIC? It was the other side this time, i think the guy that built it never put any locktite on them. And my dummass went home the other night and just did the one side....DOH:::::

FReaK

oh man i got a job today i am now working at the hardware store so now i can afford the stuff like now i need a graphite chassis since mine is all messed up now

Why dont you just buy the MF2 instead of wasting your money and having a MF 1.5

2 reaasons
1 i wasnt smart enough to think of that

and 2 is cause i got the xxxt for a trade for my rustler

and it is an mf2 ALMOST

i'll bet that by the time you are done swappin out all the crap you will have spent what the mf2 costs

I dont get it???? why don't losi and associated just use dogbones instead of those damn cvd's dogbones are much cheaper, much more realiable, and a little more efficient.

UHHHH..... CVDs are more efficient. They dont bind up when you have them at sharpe angles around 90 degrees. See how far you can "bend" a cvd and still rotate it. Then try with a dog bone and or universal joint. See which one has a larger range of motion.

hmm whats this do.
