todays outing
well, earl and i got together again for a little bash and of course the carnage was on. seems like when he and i get together the parts start to fly[X(]. when i go out i always try to find a lhs just in case he or i dont bring something we might accidently need.
there was a hobby town less than 10 min away. well we needed to go and ive heard alot about hobby town here and other places and i agree i dont like the place. on my first tank i went hammer down and had a couple of flops. i refueled and thought i spilled. as i started to run again the plant started to go haywire. turns out i smashed the fuel tank. (what we went to shop for) i picked up a tank for a .21 i dont really care for it, but its all the had. when i put the tank on i noticed i cracked a rpm lower a-arm. ill let you all know how good dealing with there warranty goes. sorry if this is a little long. hopefully ill get my new mods done soon and get a test in to report soon.....( ofna linkage, diff locker, new body, and maybe a new tank that ill like)....

RE: todays outing
yeah its a bummer he forgot the camera. it was a rough site lots of tumbles. the fitting he broke looked like plastic not brass on that one, so that would maake it a little easier to break but still a tuff one. i hope he replaces it with a brass one. it seemed like either he or i was on our lid. i think the no body flops probably didnt help....

RE: todays outing
Yeah he was looking down discovering that he broke his tank and I went for a flop on my lidless top. I think it got tuged or something. There was some seepage from the HSN housing as well. I was not aware that is would die like that.
At first it all seemed good, like I stated before, I was getting one start pulls and then it just would not start anymore and no matter how I triedit stopped starting.
Just another issue to get it started! I will try an f motor carb and see how that goes!

RE: todays outing
I think it is time to try something new and report my findings to the others. That way they can also get away with a better suited carb. Either the f motor carb or the mach carb that I have on my 27!
