Killer day at the track!!!!
Today we ran at a private MX track in MS, running today was four tmax's and the savage, what a killer day!
The highlight of the day was, one of the kids were driving dads tmax and the guy was right there with him, he let the kid take the max over a 4'6" jump at full speed......TWICE! It hit the next jump and did a min. of 8 cart wheels and went at least 7' in the air, twice. Well, the frame must have had a crack from the jumps, and he got hit by another tmax, and tboned the truck. Coolest thing I ever saw in person. right in half, totally awesome!
The savage, had better control, hardly any flips, takes jumps in stride. The max's had the hole shot all day, but the only race I lost was when I broke one of the steering knuckles (one it comes with, extra). The engine was rock solid, I still don't have it dialed in all the way, the max's did have the speed edge b/c of it, but it did not matter. All and all, the truck was awesome.
The track we run on is not meant for these trucks and the punishment they take is unreal.
Can't wait for next weekend!

C&B,
Yeah thats me. Me and Kevin, along with several others did a couple a, night flights last year. Take planes and put glow wire, or lights (xmas lights, sylium sticks), and you take off fly around and land! separates the men from the boys, really fast. out of all the people who did it, the only ones that eat it, were the heli guys! Kevins in big with the elite pattern guys down here, doing 33% pattern stuff, hangs with the best of the best!
Byron, was gonna try and hookup with us, this week while he was here, but I hadn't heard from him. He would have had a melt down yesterday, it was unreal!

Totally Missed the Excitement.
Had some other priority since I'm only down there once a year.
Sounds like a lotta fun. I'm still figiting with my dang truck. Doesn't seem to stay running after warmed up.
