Let me know when to call Nitrohouse. I am in for $10.00!!!!!!!!!

Oh and by the way I go to Denver once sometimes twice a month for buisness. I will stop by as much as I can to check out if someone has it. I also go to his hobby store called I think MA Homg. They have a track indoor and outdoor. The owner is this old man who is pretty cool.

It dont have to be Nitrohouse..I am sure any online retailer will do it for us

If everyone thinks my idea stinks, I am fine with sending it to Jkas
Hey great chance for NitroHouse to step up also. Great ideas guys

Please don't feel bad. This is the least we can do for the service you provide this great nation, and the sacrifices you and your family make for our freedoms. You are very welcome... I couldn't imagine having to leave my 2 year old daughter, God speed to you my brother. You and your family will also stay in my families prayers.


I love dealing with nitrohouse.com, I think that is a great idea.


You guys on this forum are a bunch of stand up guys... Thanks

I don't feel like I have to contribute to the fund. It's something I want to do. Besides, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. Looking at the other replies to this thread, it seems we all share a common sentiment about doing this.

I cant thank you guys enough! Yeah it sucks when you have to leave your family, that the hardest part in the world, thank god for sites like myspace and video chat! When I went to basic training at FT. Benning I was so homesick! That was ten weeks, than I went straight from there to FT. Sam Houston in Texas, that was another 16 weeks, but the training and service are the best!

I know, I wasn't offended - just these days you never really know who you are dealing with. I am fine with whatever way we do this, I just want to help see something worked out for our friend.

ATTENTION: I just got off the phone with Tim Bump at Nitrohouse, and he said that he would be glad to help out with this matter. For those who would like to help, what you need to do is call Nitrohouse @ 1-800-928-0304. Ask for Tim Bump, and make a donation to the Army Medic Fund. All proceeds will go to the replacement of stolen r/c equipment for ArmyMedic. Thanks everyone for your help in this matter. Army Medic, I don't know your name, but you and all the men and women who sacrifice as members of our armed services give more than we could ever thank you for. Freedom is maintained at a very high price. Thank you for service and your sacrifice from your r/c community.

I like nitrohouse, but are they willing to match the 379 price at dirtcheap rc?
I mean thats $100 dollars worth of parts he could buy, and it might be easier for people to hit send money on paypal than call nitrohouse. Dont bash me for this just asking what people thaught?

I personally would think it would be easier to just send paypal.
we just have to find some poor sap who wants about a 100, 5$ transactions on his paypal..LMAO then he could just send it all to the guy in need. unless he himself has a paypal??

Wow, Is Nitrohouse $100 more than dirtcheep? I thought they had good prices, lol..I would definitely go with the less expensive place..seems like we are close to $379, but another $100 may take a few days..Someone needs to just step up and make a choice..I am pretty sure we will follow..if you ask everyone for opinions (like Me) its just going to delay everything..Lets put an end to the donations..say March 31st...and then on April 1st..army Medic can call whoever we all gave the money to and order his T-maxx, or if he's smart a Truggy, LOL..I am pretty sure that by 3/31/09 there should be more than enough cash in his fund to get whatever he wants....
