RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

ernie thats what i was talking about yesterday.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

I wanted to get out there - but found out a project/christmas present that I am working on has to be completed by Nov 18th - I thought I had a little more time to complete it - so I spent all day Saturday and Sunday in my shop - didn't even do any yard work!! I'll try again for this weekend...... I have late meetings today (monday) and tomorow which means I "should" be able to leave work early on Wednesday and Thursday ("should" is the key word here). If that happens maybe I can get ahead of the completion time frame during the week....... Hey it is a plan!!

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

ok, I didn't look at 'em that much. now I know there normally 70 bucks. my badhttp://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...ssed_smile.gif

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread

but then again do i really need a kill switch?.......naah.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

scott and ernie
sorry guys but i'm done screwing around with rctech.com.
my listing for the nitro stuff is gone.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

yeah, I'm not gonna get a kill swich. I trust the spectrum fail safe, and it's free!! Sorry to hear that Mike, they must be a pita to deal with. No worry's hear. Your doing a hell of a job trying to sell our stuff, and I really apreciat it http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f.../thumbs_up.gifhttp://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...sn/biggrin.gif.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

ernie i've had issues with rctech before.
my ads just disappear and i can't figure out why.
the stuff is still listed here in virginia and on rcu though.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

thats no problem mike. all is good.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

mike i read a couple posts where other guys had their for sale listings wiped out.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

really? oh well **** like that just pisses me off.
besides the people there have an attitude:D.
screw'em!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D:D:D:D:D.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

hey just so you guys know, if you wanna run on saturday, that's ok with me cause as long as I leave the track by 2:30-3:00 I'll still have time for a evening hunt. I might not even go this satuday evening cause it suppose to be as hot this weekend as it is now.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

sounds good to me ernie. i like saturdays better. i can be a bum on sunday!

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

yeah, I like to run on saturdays better too, so I can lay around and watch football and racing on sundays http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...sn/biggrin.gif

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

hpi baja forum has the hpi 5t sticker set for 18.50 shipped! scroll down to bottom of forum page and click items for sale. craftwerks rc has them for sale today. prolly be gone in no time.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

hey do you guys have any spare 5b parts:D
i just picked this up cheap. i think the diff has issues.
i need to tear it down and see why it locks up when you roll it.
only has 1/2 hour runtime on it.
the engine is fine on this one :D:D:D:D:D.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

sure enough tranny is totally gone.
layshaft gear smooth as can be lol
second gear has a couple chunks missing and the gears inside the diff are notchy.

oh'well time to hit e-bay lol.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

how,where,and what was this guy you got it from driving that buggy on to do that much dammage in only 1/2 of an hour of driving it?

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

ya tell me about it.
he said he rolled it doing about 30mph. he must have not let off the gas to do that kind of damage is all i can think.
oh'ya he also broke the main chassis before he did this.
he put a new main chassis on then did this lol.
i love people that have no clue what they are doing:D:D:D:D:D.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

broke the chassis BEFOR he sheered those gears http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f.../msn/75_75.gif , then repalced the whole chassis...... then proceded to destroy the gears in the diff. hhhmm let me seehttp://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...y/msn/idea.gif wait a minute, I know where he was driving it at, had to be a mine field, and he drove directly over a land minehttp://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...ey/msn/lol.gif

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

well the guy was a foreigner:D:D.
maybe he drove it in iraq lol.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

yep used to see guys like that come in to the hobby shop all the time! Dave or Mike would fix and rebuild their trucks and within a day or two they would be back in with it smashed up again!! The other thing that always got me was that they were willing to pay $28/hr to get their trucks fixed up again!!!

Nice looking buggy Mike! Sounds like you guys are running trucks though?

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

joel ya some people just have no clue or don't care.

we are running trucks but both ernie and scott have buggies also.
so now we can run trucks or buggies lol.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

I thought Scott had the buggy! Didn't know that he had both!

Well - I am going to try and get out there tomorrow (Saturday). I got a lot of work done last weekend and the past couple of nights so I think I can get out there for an hour or two. Looking forward to watching those things run. The only time I saw one run was at Scotts track and as you are aware just way too small an area for those beasts.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

here's the rest of the carnage lol.
broken chassis.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

looks like he was using it for a lawn dart!

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

nope!!!!!!!! he was testing the durability of the curb.
the curb passed with flying colors:D:D:D.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

lol http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...sn/biggrin.gifhttp://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...sn/biggrin.gifhttp://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...sn/biggrin.gifhttp://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...sn/biggrin.gif...... lmao

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

sure it figures.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

:):).........want to know what I think........this guy Dave knows exactly what you guys talk about and then puts it on "sale" on his site!! Think about it the timing is just too perfect :) You might want to check your vehicles to see if they are bugged!

It sure was cool watching those things run! I can see why you guys like them so much.

Mike that is a cool looking body.....go ahead and get it - I am sure that Ernie would be more than willing to "modify" it for you!! I thought the added touches he put on Scotts truck body were pretty cool!!

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

Thanks Joel, I do take pride in my work http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...sn/biggrin.gif

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

cool. time for a little beating and banging.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

ok the gears for the buggy are on the way along with something else.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

ok i'm lost.
how does this gear come off the drive cup?.
i took out both the set screw's on the diff case and the diff cup and it won't budge.

nevermind i got it off.

only issue is it has the small diff gears and i can't get them aaaarrrrrgggggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
now i need a complete diff too.[:@][:@][:@][:@][:@][:@].
