i'm heading out now.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

ok the video came out like crap lol.
you can see something go by but can't tell what it is lol.
i had the settings wrong. i didn't have the auto focus set.
i'll try it again tomorrow and hopefully it will be better.
audio is great though lol.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

i think my steering is fixed. it just falls one way or the other now. now my problem is i watched a couple videos of the wild child. i geuss that motor will be installed in the morning!;)

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

lol you had to watch them vid's didn't you:D.
well i cleaned the mud off the body and not 1 scratch on it. i think the bedliner will work out great.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

they do look like my wheels on my pickup! Cool 20 bucks a pair, not bad might just order me a set.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

i can't edit the movie without buying an upgrade for quicktime.
they are both too long to upload to youtube.
i'll see if i can find something online to edit them.
the quality is not that great either.
but they are funny to watch lol.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

oh'well **** this video ****.
i can't do anything but watch on my computer.
this camera sucks for vidio anyways.
ya i'm just a bit PISSED right now.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

well there is a roll pin in my tranny on the slash that snapped.
it's this one here.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

maybe we could get a camcorder to tape the carnage with! So Mike your problem lies deeper than the slipper clutch, that replacement part will cost more to ship than the part itself lol.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

ya the part is $2.39 or whatever and what's shipping $8.00? lol.
i noticed my driveshafts are getting twisted too.
my slipper looks like new. maybe because i've had it tightened up almost all the way the whole time i've had it lol.

hey i can get a riding mower and roller for $100. what do you guys think? should i go ahead and get it?.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

mike if you get it let me know . i can chip in some cash. even if it needs a little work, ill put my motor skills to the test!;)

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

well i got another call where i can get a riding mower for free:D. i'm gonna go Friday morning and get it.
all it needs is the carb cleaned.
now on to find a roller:D.

you can put that wild child on there:D:D:D.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

here you go ernie.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

Been quite a while since I've poked my nose around here.....

Want to get the buggy running again, I assume I'd have to go to Richmond or order online to get a few odds and ends that I'd need?

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

hehe that video is funny as http://www.hpibajaforum.com/forum/im...s/censored.gif, everybody took the walk of shame at least once and some of us more than that http://www.hpibajaforum.com/forum/im...milies/lol.gif. Looks like the boards was getting in Stans way http://www.hpibajaforum.com/forum/im...milies/lol.gif.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

man who was that guy driving the red truck? he looked good, didnt he?:D
whats up watcherkid, been a long time. we dont even run nitro anymore. running 1/5 scale and electric slashes all the time now. and yeah, not much around anymore for nitro supplies. pretty much order online

and yes mike, the wild child is in the house!!!:D i put it in tonight. the esp head kit is screwwed....... i muffed up something, some deep scratches in the cylinder wall..........[:@]

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

red truck? i didn't see no stinking red truck lol.
oh man that sucks about the esp kit.

if the money is deposited in my account from pay pal in the morning i'm gonna get that mower and roller tomorrow. then i'll get the freebie one on Friday.
scott ya if you can chip in a bit ($20 or whatever) that would be great. you too ernie if you can if not don't worry about it.

i got the slash back together. mike had the part i needed for less than $3:D.
i told him to order some more of the tranny shafts and axle stubs lol. i think we'll need them.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

Didn't think you guys would stop running nitro, as big as it used to be. I'll have to order some stuff for the buggy then. I'll keep an eye out and maybe show up if you all run at Scott's one Saturday.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

well the batmobile has a brother lmao. the roller is small but i think it will work. got both for cheap.
we'll see what the other mower looks like on friday.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

That looks like an old 1979 monkey wards mower! Mike I'll chip in when I can (next month). That roller is small in width, where is the mowing deck?
That trim looks good from ddm :D. What happend to your ESP top end Scott? Did something get in there and scratch the cylinder wall? I finished off the first tank of fuel and everythings good so far on my ESP top end. Gonna try and get another tank through it tomorrow, then I can tune it and beat it on the third tank. Looks like rain saturday [:@]. But maybe nice on suday. what you guys wanna do?

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

lol ya no mowing deck on this one. i'm getting another one on friday that is complete. all it needs is the carb cleaned i think.
if it rains saturday then we'll see what sunday is like.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

im not sure ernie......all i know is there are some bad, deep scratches in the wall.:( i guess i can put the stock head back on. but the new motor, i just got it started. i yanked it off the stand twice getting it started! crap, a boatload of compression! it even sounds different from the other motor. i think its louder.:D im letting it cool so i can heat cycle it again......;)
and yes for sunday, im all for FINALLY getting to run. i hope......

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

well the freebie is better than the one i paid for lol.
all it needs is a battery.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

that doesnt look bad at all mike. good deal. hey did you get stans battery to balance?

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

ya i got his battery balanced. hopefully it stays balanced lol.
ya this mower isn't too bad. now i need to sell the other one lol.

you find out what happened to the esp head kit?

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

no not yet. i need to pull the head off and look. from what i can see looking into the exhaust port its pretty bad. atleast i still have a new backup motor.;)

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

did you two get washed away up there?

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

na not yet lol. it's stopped raining here now and sunny.
we got a little over an inch of rain.
i bet the track is a muddy mess lol.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

we got a lot of rain. water is still running off the track. still coming off the field onto the track............ i have a feeling the other track will still be muddy tommorow. ill look at this one in the am. what are yall planning for sunday?

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

if the track is too wet and muddy then i'm not planning anything lol.

i borrowed the battery from my mower and ran the green one around for a bit today.
seems like it's ok and cuts decent.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

thats good. ill see how things look in the morning.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

we just got hit with another downpour.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

well, its too muddy here. maybe ill heat cycle the wild child some today. mike i got one price on fixing my truck. looking at 550 just for labor.........[:@]

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

lol ya i figured it would be muddy.
$550? what did they find wrong?.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

they think its the intake gasket..... like me and david thought. gotta pull the whole top of the motor off to replace a stinking gasket!!!

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

oh dude that sucks.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

well the black AND the green mower are gone. a guy made me an offer i couldn't refuse lol.
the green one has some issues with the blades or the deck i'm not sure. it starting making some noises so i said the hell with it.
i got another one with a push mower for free. this one needs a belt so we'll see how this one is.
the push mower works fine.

RE: Charlottesville Racers Thread
 

mike you are a wheeling and dealing machine! i bet you could sell snow to an eskimo;):D
