wow, I'm sorry for your RC18MT, but i think that it is hilarious that you have already lost one truck to that pool. I'm just curious, but what kind of damage did you do to it, I'm guessing you flooded the engine with water, but was it salvageable?

ahh well, one less money pitt! Luckly it was pretty stock.. I'll probably just wait until this new kyosho mini nitro comes out instead of replacing it.. But as of now, all my $$ is going into my Kyosho ST-R truggy[8D]

RE: Awesome new ramp!
I jumped my LST into my pool once..... wasn't a pretty picture. Luckily..... it didn't sink, 'cause of the huge stock tires! It floated across, quit running about half-way through. Picked it out, all electronics worked perfectly. Just had to take the eninge apart, dy it out, lube it up and it was good to go! Man was I releived.....
TH, great ramp there! nice job, how many hours would you say it took to make?

I have only been to the airport about a month ago and then we left for hawaii so i wasen't there a lot. but anyway nice ramp. I am goin to make one but i think mine is goin to be made out of dirt. I got a big big back yard.

lol, the biggest misconception about AZ is that it's all sand! I always thought of it that way to when I live in Kansas before I moved here 8 years ago! But there are parks and all that with grass. That green belt I bash In is about 4 acres! It's stretches down the whole community.

RE: Awesome new ramp!
isnt it funny how everyone thinks sahara when they hear that arizona is a "dessert"? i once met a person who thought that we had to ride around on camels! no joke, this person was serious! yep, their is actually tons of grass here, because they put in tons of parks and golf courses, and everyone still puts in grass in there front yard. its a little harder to keep alive, but we deffinately have it.

RE: Awesome new ramp!
come to think ive lived in arizona almost all my life, and ive never driven on sand. lots of dirt and grass, but no sand. and i live 3 blocks away from the outskirts of the city where i can go driving in the desert.
