RE: Whats everyone been up to?
Our company just finished relocating to a new building. Six months of planning and preparation followed by 6 days, 1500 man hours and 75 semi trailers of stuff being moved. Thank God we are done.
Now school and fall sports are all starting, so the schedule is getting crazy again at home. I have not run anything in like a month.
I'm friggin beat. Life is good! [sm=bananahead.gif]

RE: Whats everyone been up to?
Glad to hear life is good bro. I have been super busy with construction for the past couple of months. I am doing a big rennovation project off the beach, nice job and alot of smaller projects going on. I wish I had a little more time to have some fun. I have ran some of the new product line a few times but i would like to get more video up and runtime in.

I been working on the mxt-2s. Put in an sh 28 with a 6 port sleave and piston, it's a single speed now, dual disk brakes, 150 cc fuel tank. It took tons of modifying lots of drilling, cutting plastic, melting and bending plastic, even had to grind down an end on the front drive shaft to get it to fit in a drive cup, used a front drive shaft from a maelstrom. Way too many things to list.

Well I went to the track last weekend and had lots of fun. Planning to go back in 2 weeks for the Dirt Runners Challenge with my XXX-T. I also won a duratrax evader parts truck off ebay that I was going to build up but I think the guy scammed me. I payed for it on the 23rd and accordng the the tracking info, it still hasn't been shipped (all he did was print the shipping label).
And Rod......this is very VERY rare that you will hear me say this about a nitro.......v-v-v-v-video. lol

RE: Whats everyone been up to?
i have been busy! between working and out with friends its been a good summer!!!
My Scx10 has been upgraded, coverd in mud and with longer shocks and 2.2" insted of the stock 1.9" its big now...
but i think i fired the esc... 120$ esc and i think i fried it, what is happening is when you plug it in even with the motor not attached the esc gets hot! and quickly...
Oh and for my mr2 parts are on the way and after that i will get a 1 day and get it aircared and then get it on the road!!!
