Throw it in with the electric guys. Most of 'em are likely on BL and lipos so it will be fair.

Well...the other XXX-NT is uh...

Well
(old picture...need to take an updated one with the snazzy aluminum chassis that a buddy milled out)

Haha you made it into an XXX-SCNT. I want to do something similar with an RC10GT.


It's frustrating to those of us who like Short Course and like nitro that we have the Slayer, the SC8, some roller from Ofna with horrible parts support and mutilating an existing chassis as our only choices. Of the pre-built options I'd have the Slayer, even though I'd have to throw the engine and gearbox on eBay or something. The engine because, well, it's a 3.3. Not the best engine ever. The gearbox because I'd replace it with a Revo's reverse capable one.

All ThunderbirdJunkie needs for the truck is the MIP Stinger shock tower and an 18CV-R and a little bit of hardware, figure out the rear bumper mounting (everything up front is XXX-SCT) and it'll be done.

A big pile of 2w nitro SCTs would be a great A main to watch[8D]

Ahahaha, I think the .18 CV-RX will be too much power. It threw my CEN around like a ragdoll. That truck weighs 7 pounds and is 4WD. I put it in my NTC3, which is now all but uncontrollable. Everything up to half throttle is good, but any more than that and it just starts spinning wheels. It's great fun!

Then again the wayward nature of my TC3 might be because I'm running rally tires on it. On surfaces like snow, dirt, mud, etc, it tends to behave much better. Still slides on command but it's controllable there.

And yes, they would. It'd have all the sideways shenanigans of real Pro-2, with the added cool factor of engines being involved! Nitro SC might be the class it would take to get me to justify going to a track and competing.

Good morning Thunder, have you considered taking out the magnets from a speaker and gluing it to the table so you dont loose screws??? It works pretty good, also try to make a boarder around the sides of the table so nothing can fall off.
Later dude.[8D]

you dont have to spend a grand on a buggy there is nothing wrong with used/cheaper models, heck i think my ofna rig is under $400 total and its loaded, hitec digital servos, decent radio, torsen diff, jammin engine, jammin JP-2 pipe, alu clutch shoes, lightened flywheel, pivot ball converson, alu chassis braces and servo tray posts yada yada yada.

im sure with the right skills i could keep up with a state of the art thousand dollar rig, plus unless your doing it professionally who cares?

KYOSHO MP7.5 INFERNO. Nuff said.

Those are pretty cool ideas.

So is the pit table build thread. Keeping an eye on this one.

Is Amber Bock a really popular Cincy-area thing, or what? I like it, but just don't see it consumed often around here. But when I visit my friends in the Dayton area, or Hamilton/Mason, they always seem to have it around.

Whats Amber Bock????

Strong magnet on the table might be a problem if you wear a mechanical watch...

A type of beer - Michelob makes it in the US here. Not sure how it compares to a "true" bock, but hey, it's pretty good.

Was planning on shoe-gooing a magnet onto the table someplace. The border is an awesome idea!

You must be hanging out with different people than ThunderbirdJunkie, because 90% of the stores around here don't even carry Amber Bock in 12ers, and most people don't even seem to know what it is. Christian Moerlein (mmmm BARBAROSSA) is the big Cincy thing since they're based here.
ThunderbirdJunkie only had about $350 into his MBX5R...but he really wants something with that new injection-molded-plastic smell[&:]
One of the only passable mass-produced American beers.

like pamela anderson's boobies?

Or really any hollywood starlet's ****. They're all fake.

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!

New was the operative word, bro...you missed the word NEW. New does not mean 25 years old[&:]

She just got 'em installed last week, brah.

Well in that case...

BRB smellin

Ahahahahahaha

Magic.

You'll see

Lunchbox, take your watch off. Who cares what time it is apart from if it's racing time.
What time is it???Fun time
What time is it???Racing time.
What time is it???Time to go home.
What time is it???Time to ignor your watch and go have fun.

Hi Thunder, are you going to mount the radio under your table on brackets??? It'll stay cleaner longer and is out the way.
Dont you drive a Jeep??? Why not build a table in the boot of your vehicle???
Your driving electro aint you, you could build a quick charger into it and use the power supply from your car.
Later dude, got to go to work AGAIN.[:@]

All good questions. ThunderbirdJunkie does drive a Jeep, but he plans on picking up a more fuel efficient beater in a month or two, which is why the 6' table wasn't an option. Kinda hard to fit something that big (even if it does fold in half) in the trunk of a Tercel/Civic/Mirage(lancer)/etc.

A thunderbird junkie pit table would be a table with clodbuster tires on the bottom legs powered by a large belt
with a brushless motor mounted under the table. Throwing this idea out there...
