Default Good Day of Bashing My Storm

I just got back from ripping up the joint with my storm. Finally getting the Hyper .21 broken in.
I rebuilt my center and rear diff, and will do the front this week. The oil wieghts i used worked like a charm, and i am happy.

I stil have to mask and paint my new body and see what kind of job i can do.

I ruined my crime fighters running on asphalt most of the day. I did ride in some grass, but it was not the best around. A lot of rocks and tracks left from a bulldozer so it was very rough.

We had about 6 people running about 20 different rides today so it was hella fun. Some guy crashed into my storm with his tc3.....not real fast, but it dented his header, lost his spring for the header and broke the header coupler no damage for me

good times i tell ya....i just wish we had a track.

yea that big guy loves the losis, and the adam drakers can run circles around mine. i still havent tuned mine nicely yet, and i burned another spur gear. john told me "i wasnt supposed to let it idle" whihc i knew wasnt the reason. the other guy working there (kinda 5'8 with short black hair) told me that my engine was revving like crazy and that it was too lean, causing it too rip and burn my spurs.

i like john but sometimes it seems like he doesnt take the time to fully sdiagnose the problem. a kid i know has a tmaxx that wouldnt start. john sold him a piston sleeve and said that was his problem. the real problem was actually that a power wire for his e-start was loose.

yeah he isnt the best mechanic. i guess thats why he has those two other guys working there.
i dont know there names but the guy your talking about it very knowledgeable. he is the one who does the porting and stuff.

i need to get an on road car. i was just bidding on this hooked up tc3 on ebay. i tried to sneak a bid in at the end but got out bid. it was awesome. prolly near 2g's in it.
it ended for $495+18 shipping.

ill get one eventually

yea electric is pretty cool, too bad it only lasts for like 30 minutes.

i would never get used ever again though, it aint worth not knowing what was done and how to your car.

get AIM man, its worth it. go to www.aol.com and downlad it. would be nice to talk to someone about rc cars online!

ps...my AIM SN is outluded
