RE: How I spent my "Holiday."
That's great. I'm sure you, er, I mean, the young'un will enjoy it. Here is a little tidbit you may have missed. That picture in your post is bigger than my 19" monitor screen. At the bottom it says, "click for full size". I'm thinking to myself... Self? He must have scanned a poster in there. So I click it out of curiosity (chuckling to myself). Know what I got? A smaller pic half the size of my screen!! HAHA!!! That's bass-ackwards!!

Yeh I saw that too. I don't know how that happened. I used the same digital camera as all my others. Uploaded it on to the software then copied it here and thats how it showed up. All my other photos posted here come out small and you have to enlarge it yourself.
Anyways, I bought a separate clear body for it and "did it up." The ones that come with them have too much decals all over it. Looked kind of stupid, so I changed it.

Snoop, NICE. Cars/Trucks are always a blast when you can't fly, or just feel like throwing some dirt. Two buddies here have the RC-10GT and they are FAST out of the box, very nice. I feel you on the decals for the Reg body, my friends didn't put on decal on, looks so much better. Yours looks awesome.... You and the kid will have a friggin blast!!!!!! Here is my T-Maxx I am working on, going to put a new body, and some other wheels tires, maybe some other Titanium stuff. She throws some snow and dirt that is for sure. Be Good and have a blast!!!! Sure is a fun break away from the planes for a bit. I usually bring my maxx when I go fly. LOL

RE: How I spent my "Holiday."
I took that restrictor out of the carburator. Talk about a power increase. I have only run it up an dialed it in. I'm afraid that one trip out in the parking lot will rip off all the tread. We have this one guy at the field who can take a joke. Sometimes guys will bring their cars out to run around in the parking lot.
Funny thing is , is when this one guy goes to take off, we sneak in the car. As he is rolling down the runway, the cars comes out of nowhere and gets on his back end and chases him until he takes off. Very funny to watch.
There is this other guy with a T maxx. He drives the front of the car right up to his feet. Then "floors" it and the car jumps on his feet and up his leg and does a back flip and lands right back on all four wheels. I guess that is the "3D" of the car world

RE: How I spent my "Holiday."
I too have an RC10 I picked up last year. Its a lot of fun at the field when waiting for a slot to fly. A lot of the old timers piss and moan when I bring it to the field (THIS IS AN AIRPLANE ONLY SOCIETY[>:]), but I don't care, I drive it anyway and I think they are jeolous. It also gives my dog a lot of excercise chasing it around the yard.

RE: How I spent my "Holiday."
LOL, with the dog, I laugh everytime you say he chases it. Would love to see that. LOL I bet it is fun for both, until he lays into it, after she runs out of fuel. LOL HAHAHA
I think Cars/Trucks are a total blast. I don't get into them as much as planes or choppers, but still hold my own. I don't see any problem with them at the field, just stay away from people flying, use the right radios, and have a blast. I like to chase planes on take off too, pretty fun, if the pilot is down with it, and does not complain. I love to run mine in the snow, like on the street in about Feb, when it's all packed with ice, snow, ice, snow, then more snow. LOL Fun to punch it up to full speed, then brake, slide and spin around for a half block. LOL
Snoop, is that restrictor in the Maxx carb, you have the new 2.5 BS right? I'll have to do that. My maxx is ok, have a macs pipe, running 20% have the suspension dropped, does well. I want to get that new Sirio .23 or whatever the size that is a drop in, can you say bye, bye gears? LOL

RE: How I spent my "Holiday."
Snoop,
I'd think twice about encouraging my kid with the cars and have him stick with planes. I mean have you looked in on the car forums and the average post compared with the airplane forums?
We don't allow cars at the Basin because of the dust, noise and that if it got more popular than it was there would have been a parking problem. I suppose at a smaller club it's not an issue but our parking lot is crowded enough already. We don't fly our planes at the car tracks so they shouldn't drive at the airfield.
I have an RC car but I don't find it nearly as fun as the planes, to each his own.

RE: How I spent my "Holiday."
I just got an estimate for a pair of shocks, rear tires, and a set of tie rods for my RC truck.
$35 for the tires
$9 for the inserts
$21 for the shocks
$18 for the tie rods.
Because of those prices, I'm sticking with planes. I can make just about all my own parts when they break. That was why I got out of RC boat racing, I couldn't justify spending $35 for a cable or $50 for a prop they breaks or gets lost just about every other race.

RE: How I spent my "Holiday."
I hear you. I love planes too much. The T-maxx I bought was just for fun, something to do when it is too windy, could that happen in Montana??? Hmmmmmmmmm LOL The parts are not too bad for the Maxx, but tires, motors, shocks kill you. Whole different world with cars/trucks, they get just as crazy as us plane nuts. LOL I just bash with this, no racing or anything like that. Just 4 foot jumps, rock piles, slow planes, LOL I'll stick with Planes and Choppers, but nothing wrong with a car/truck to have fun with, eh BB? LOL

OK Big Sky,
Go take a time out for excessive use of "LOL". Go look up the old LOL thread for correct usage guidlines and get back to us.

RE: How I spent my "Holiday."
Actually this picture was taken about 5 years ago when my boy was 15. He is now in his second years at UNM. He was flying this Cap at the time. He slowly found other interest (girls) and cars that took up his time. He'll be back
