Did some bashing with the Monsoon today after my sons birthday party. Dad was over so I made him record me this time. Seems like it is not running right. It was really hard to keep it running at first, so I turned the idle up a little. Not really sure what is going on with that. Also having issue with loosing steering control. I think that is the whole issue everyone has with their FM transmitters. So after it started doing it, I shut it down so I didn't loose it. I got some springs today so I can make a throttle return spring, and I am going to use my AM transmitter for now. Hope you all enjoy.

Yeah, he does a good job, and yeah it was running lean. I fixed that right after that video. I wanted to get some bashing on camera before dad left, and rain was trying to move in so I was a little pressed for time. And yeah it was a little loud at idle too, idle was a little too high. And for the cam I used my digital camera. It is a Kodak Z650. I have been trying to get the video off of my camcorder on my computer but I need to buy another port and wire for that to happen. the wire itself is like $35 for a cheap one. So for now I will stick with the digital camera for video. It works good. I made another video that is edited and added some more clips to it, along with some ones I used in my other video as well. That is loading to youtube as I type. Once it is done I will post the link.

it was kinda spur of the moment bashing, and I had to sneak out to do it. he he he
plus I got a broken front body mount. even though I can still put the body on. Well, I won't be bashing with the Monsoon for a little while now. Clutch shoes bit the dust today and kinda tore up the bell housing and the bolt that holds it on. Gotta do some checking on things to see what all I will need, but I am gonna have to wait for a little before I can get it. We did some good bashing at dads with his Hurricane and his Savage though. Got plenty of video too. I will try and get it up sometime this week.
