Sounds good, if you can fit it in your schedule go for it. Will probably be this weekend before I can get down there to pick it up-you gonna be around this weekend? So your gonna service Joe's truck-hope his is not as bad as mine after the mud bowl last sat. I poured water out of my rear bulkhead sunday, may need to really check it out, not so sure I will do that again unless its a money race or something. Got to grease all the hingpins, outdrives, cvd's and all the bearings along with ring and pinions. Truck should be like new, can't wait for rc pro round 2. Yes I do run byrons. You don't have an extra set of lpr foams would you, got a special set of tires but they didn't include any foams

Default Airtronics servos...

http://www.carolinasrc.com/Webstore/...dproduct=11697

I have ran these for maybe 45 minutes. I ran about 30 minutes with them in Dothan and about 15 this past weekend. They work awesome and are very strong and fast. I had to get them in a bind at the Wiregrass race and just gonna offer them out. I paid $110 new for them and they go from that up to about $130.

I'll take $80 each for them.

RC PRO SERIES round #2 @ Nitro Fever...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey guys,

I'll be placing a tire/rim order on monday. If you are interested in having us glue you some tires for the rc pro race send me a email to [email protected], let us know what tires, rims, color, and compound. I'll have them for you at the event.

I got several orders so don't wait until the last minute

Just in time to follow me around the track again-couldn't resist I tried. Alan u think dave will make it this weekend, lookin forward to some good racing. May try to swing by tuesday or wednesday evening if that's ok-lets get a group together to wrench and hangout and maybe even bbq. Hold me a spot in the losi compound for the weekend, got a generator if u think we may need it for the rc pro race. Holler later gotta get to work

It is amazing how much a few minor tweeks here and there add up in the end. I used to spend hours at the track working on my buggy before, now I cange tires and charge the battery and race. It made the whole racing experience much more fun and realxing.
now if you can get a motor without 12 gallons on it your golden

Shady, sounds good just give me a ring.

I'm headed out to do some wrenching now Yesterday I pretty much had a full shop with about 12 buggies/truggies. Gonna break in a couple engines today.

Cookie, let me know when you want me to pinch that sleeve and measure the crank and rod on the grp.
