I would go with some thicker oil. Or time to upgrade some shocks?[X(]

I should try sticking the TT-01's shocks on there and see if those work.

Back from some more drifting. I really don't like the weird surface in the parking garage.

The front end also bottoms out way too easily. Pretty much any dip in the surface and it will bottom.
In the Ta03F defense it would be front heavy cuz the motor sits there. You should threat it the reverse way as your TT01 in suspension.

So here is my first attempt at airbrushing and mixing colors. It isn't great but my color turned out pretty close to how I wanted. I mixed some blue with white till I got the shade I was looking for. My camera sucks it it doesn't show up as well as I would like. Anyways I really like using an airbrush so far, it will take some time to get better at it though and start doing fine detail work.

Back from the MT show. Erm.... The baja didnt survive the night. I went off a 15 ft kicker at full speed, it would have been perfect but it clipped a crushed car right after a ramp, thus sending the baja and additional 15 to 20 ft into the air. The baja then lawn darted straight into the ground after falling approx 35-40 ft. The chassis got bend, the shock tower got OBLITERATED, chassis brace bent, rear shock bent. Surprisingly none of the A arms broke. Needless to say I got the RC jump of the night, all the club guys gave me props, hah. The crowd of several thousand people went nuts. Baja is out of commission till spring break probably. I'll be driving my friends FG tomorrow.

nice colour Sheo, though personally i'd have backed it with white, it just makes the main colour appear a little more solid.. hard to explain unless you see it in person..

Blackfoot Extreme is finished chassis wise.. just need to paint the body when the paint arrives.. (very smart kit, i think i might have to grab one) [8D]

pics on later..

Yeah, I just got it, but I can't run it since I don't have a glow plug wrench.[&:]


Just ordered one so hopefully this week I can run it.

Got home from work this morning what a crazy night. The guys and I were at 14 st moving material from one track to another when we got a call of a customer struck or man down under a train, we get to the location, police and paramedics were at the scene and the person was on the platform. Apparently the person was intoxicated and fell to the tracks but was not hit but cracked his skull on the tracks, he lost alot of blood but is alive.

After we got that mess cleaned up, there was another man down but in Brooklyn this time, when we get there the train is half way in the station and the police are there, the motorman says that he struck this person but can not see where the body is. We go down on the tracks towards the front of the train to find a site thats too horrible for words, let me put it this way, we only found the upper part at the front of the train.

I really dont know whats going on with people, this is the 4th incident this week.
