Haha. I think I can live with that

I should have backed off of the jump more as I was waiting for you. Then I wouldn't have nose dived.

Still working on the 4wd SC, Phu. Having a problem with the rear gearbox binding up against the diff. It's okay when I have the gearbox out of the chassis, but when I press the bottom halves together (as if I am mounting it on the chassis), it binds up. Bought a fresh gearbox, since the old one had some slop in the diff bearing housing, and the binding is even worse. Gotta figure out if I need to shim the diff bearings or do something else more devious.

Trophy race is this Sunday, so I may just come on Sunday for this weekend.

In general, we will be outside unless we can't. But tonight's weather looks pretty unpleasant to be outside (cold and rainy) and there was a lot of rain yesterday. So without being there yet to see the track, I'll say there is a good chance we'll be inside. But be prepared for outdoors just in case.

If you hit the driver's stand you're going to have a bad time.

SC10 4x4 should be ready for this weekend now. I had to take a dremel to the rear gearbox case (these moldings are crap) and grind some material away from the inside of the diff bearing housing. That keeps the gearbox from binding against the diff when you tighten the screws down. Saves me having to splurge for an Integy alloy gearbox...

Since we have the BBQ Blast on Sunday, will this Saturday be practice only or Saturday Night Lights?
