Even though it took so long to figure what was wrong, this thread has been really fun to write and read.

RE: disappearing dogbones
I had a metal detector, but I sold it to buy a gun....(this was before I started loosing parts; it seems as if my truck waited untill I sold my metal detector LOL).

RE: disappearing dogbones
I could see how a metal detector would come in handy but i dont get people who make a hobby out of it, to each his own i guess. It makes me think of Terrence and Phillip from south park "lets go searching for treasure".
SpeedAddict, the engine is a stock picco 27.
I was wondering if the drive cups could be fixed somehow. Maybe smooth out the grooves so the DB slides into place or am i better off just putting in new ones?

RE: disappearing dogbones
As a general hobby, I don't see how metal detecting could be all that fun. The only time I have been interested is after talking to some guys who specialize in what they search for. We have a couple of places around here where some pretty big civil war battles took place and people are still finding some neat stuff from that time period. Blackbeard the pirate also frequented the area alot and dropped stuff all over the place. Lots of history to be discovered, and I can see the draw to that type of thing.
On the other hand, those guys that walk up and down the beach looking for people's lost rings and such just irritate the hell out of me.

Finding historical stuff could be very cool but apart from that, no thanks. Maybe if they had nitro powered metal dectectors it would be a different story [sm=lol.gif].

RE: disappearing dogbones
The metal detector people probably think driving a car up and down would be a really boring hobby. I mean, if someone got into it, you may find that you can do extra things with it, just like we can do jumps.

RE: disappearing dogbones
well, yes, hobbies can overlap abit sometimes... just like you can have a metal detector to help you in your rc finding loose parts , guys who are into metal detectors as a hobby maybe they can mount a small one onto a giant scale mt/crawler or something and save themselves the footwork ... maybe the ground is too muddy or soft and only a rc mt (less ground pressure) can work effectively, where deep bootprints in sensitive areas are unacceptable... or something

I think a little project is comming on... A savage complete with metal detector. Who knows that I could find, selling the stuff could help pay for a new engine!
