I thought you are broke because of your dog?

Status: offline 		I am. I'd like to see what upgrades are going to run. I still plan on buying one. Someday... But yes. Mack's vet bills are more important than my hobby . It's hard. We just got a pair of nt's(1 AD, and 1 sport) and a rc10gt in a box in at my hobby shop I work at. A guy passed away and his wife called us to see if we were interested in his r/c trucks. So It makes me want an NT even more when I have to look at them every day I'm at work . Mabe my boss will give me a roller or somthing . Wait, What am I thinking...

Status: online 		ok, I get it. If you ever get that vet bill paid I will still have my xxx-nt waiting for you. I just use it as my parts car but I will fix it up.

My cocker spaniel ran away today for like 3 hours, but was barking at our door after we closed it!

Status: offline 		If somone else wants it, sell it to them and not wait on me. Because these NTs at the shop are prolly not going to sell very quick. So if i have to, I'll buy one of them. I'm glad your dog came back. My heart like skipped a beat when I saw Mack get run over. It was the scariest thing i've ever experienced. I just knew he was dead.

Status: online 		actually it says lightened weight , prob from milling out the center . Doesn`t say lighter than the stock tower . Also you can`t always go by what you read on forums .

Status: offline 		So does anybody else know of any other people that make aluminum parts for the xxx-nt? I'm wanting purple but I have only found silver and blue. I love dynamite's purple but they nolonger make parts for this truck. All I want in aluminum are the F/R pivot blocks, spindles, and rear hubs. I just want to have to keep spare arms when I go places with it. not spare pivot blocks, arms, spindles, rear hubs. I don't want to load up half the shop everytime me and my buddy want to go bashing.
