yeah its an rtr and for some reason i thought id take the motor out and do the water dip break in method (i let it run about 3-5 minutes under water first time i ever really did it) put it back in the truck and ran it around the parking lot not very fast i think ill try one of my many 19t to see what it does then maybe ill rip out the losi 13.5 and put in there we'll see, and as for your question about this weekend HECK YEAH im willing to come out and do a little work and a little play haha.

Kuffs-- leave your weight in your truck, I added some tonight and it helped me get over that nasty double, I added some more, but need daylight and to adj my ride height again to try it. From reading forums, 4oz seem to be the ticket for that truck. Just everyone seems to put it in different locations, but always add up to 4oz.

somehow DJ put his battery in and we where flying around and he jumped that nasty double and his truck quit, I picked up his truck and his battery was under it, dont know how he managed that.

I don't know what I'm doing this weekend. I will probably be having band practice again either Sat or Sun, but I will get out there if I can.

I called RC Hobbies and they have my broken A-arms in stock! I couldn't believe it, they always seem to have what I need. So, I need to go over there Saturday morning and my 3 electrics will be running again.

I am getting better at this hehe

I was there yesterday after noon, picked up some trax connectors for my 3k packs and for a new charge lead ... I could have picked your parts up. I might be going back Friday am, depends on if I can get in where I need to for work in JC, will be headed to Clay if not.

I will play this week end by ear, do not want to sour the wife's impression of the RC hobby, we have quite a bit of crap to do around the house. I will be out of town for the next 2 weeks and only be around on week ends.

Finally decided to crack my fresh (2 yrs old) jug of nitro open to see if I could get my Savage tuned up. Got it running much better but I think its time to pull the carb apart and clean it.
I'll get it tuned up and running great this weekend and then it'll be way off in a few weeks when we're getting snow.

I like to bash the most. Nothing like a big 4WD rippin through the leaves and snow! I just haven't ran my r/c's much this year so I'm having to tune them up and such. I won't be around Sat though

If you go there tomorrow ask her for my losi A-arm #1116, she should have it set aside already. Could you let me know tomorrow whether you went or not? Cause I'm gonna go early Sat morning otherwise.

So, what's the plan this weekend? Saturday and Sunday are both looking to have great weather. I probably won't have much time Saturday, but should be free Sunday. Looks like Quinton is out for Saturday and maybe VSRoller for the whole weekend.
