RC Car Guy,

Your time is coming. Grab yourself a buggy and a beer and you'll be just like us!

nitroman88-RCU,

The tires you see in the pic are the Dirty Harry 2's. They hook up real well on just about any surface. If you're running on the grass and or the dirt, they will last for quite some time. They hold up pretty well n the cement IF you don't lock up the brakes or make any hard turns. I use the Proline Cell Blocks on the track and they stick on a hard pack surface.

As for having anything to sell ya, sorry man that's about all I have. I blew out the sidewalls on my Proline Road Rages, so I tossed them.

The zip ties protect the heatsink in the event of a roll over. Call it cheap insurance. As for the buggy on the right, all of the new 8 port engines come with a plastic heatsink protector which is pretty convenient if you ask me.

ok, makes sense...i guess i assumed that his OFNA was like mine. my heatsink won't hit the (level) ground if i flip. the wing prevents it.

My Saturday nights usually depend on what friends are doin and usually involves beer,which is a good idea.....you just made me thirsty,lol.If theres nothin goin on I'll play video games(socom2,tiger woods 2004)or mess with the RC car or the real one.I usually try to get up kinda early and run it Sunday morning so Saturday night is a good time for new ideas or preparation.

I spent over an hour cleaning the dirt out my new Violator! I hope that it is not going to take that long every time. I need a compressor that could speed up things a bit.

I know it is not the best paint job. But this is how I spent my Saturday night. Also blasted fireworks to celebrate my sons birthday.

Matrix Revolutions and dinner with a friend at a Thai place.

Movie was ok. Spectacular effects. Weak story.

Might go see Kill Bill again today, or maybe go RC, but its raining...

Thanks, I posted the lid on Ebay seeing what I get for it. If I get enough to buy me a new body I am happy. I am putting a lot of different shells online to see what I get for them.

I paid 18 for a dodge stratus body and got 21 pounds for it. So I was happy. Waiting for guy to send payment and then i will ship it out this week. I just like painting them. Don't care about making a profit, just want to make enough to do another.

I don't go out as much as I used to, probably because most of my friends don't live here anymore (and I'm about to move away too, I hate this town). I usually have a couple beers, watch some TV like Most Extreme Challenge, Unexplained mysteries, MadTV, Family Guy. Sometimes I play computer games like Madden NFL 2004 and Planetside. Occasionally I'll be in my garage fixin up my cars.
