Panic stations tonight - can't make it...  still gotta put the truck back together...  BTW do your shocks leak at all?
Title: 1/18th meet
Post by: limey on January 19, 2006, 03:29:09 AM
one of the rear shock shafts has a bit of a bow in it which makes it leak, same story with jeffs.

i thought i saw the hop up mini-t shocks on jodys rc18, those would work good.

I dont own the rc18 or the shocks anymore. What a POS. Jarod neglected to tell me that Chris had smoked the ESC and fixed it himself.

actually it is working out OK. My mini-z's were the older model, not quite as easy to sell as a rc18 which is still current. The bidding is at 152 bucks and ends tonight. I am likely going to get close to 200 USD.

My nascar 2003 season game is going for 66 USD (I paid 20 CDN) and it will likely hit 80 or 100 bucks!!!

k heres the story

when i got it from my friend he said it worked great, he came over one day and set up the speed controll and then he said it was set down so i wouldnt ruin the gears, which i thaught was kinda odd,but ok.so i took his word for it i used it about 3 times, worked fine, then i gave it to chris and he said it was fried then he fixed it and he said it was fine, again i took his word for it because, lets be honest, he doesnt own any crap.  It then went straight form chris's van at race night, to jody. direct trip, no stops.

theres the story,

if you feel you got screwed or whatever, sorry but i was going off what people said about it.

my .02 cents, in my defense,

Title: 1/18th meet
Post by: SgRddY on February 02, 2006, 09:25:42 AM
you guys are crazy trying to come out on a night like that.
Title: 1/18th meet
Post by: limey on February 02, 2006, 11:53:19 AM
crazy yes, but prepared, lights and a sealed body is the key

i was there at like 7:25 till 7:40 untill i ripped my freshly painted e-citer body off, on the spine, getting a little to much water in the li-po for my taste. it was raining but not that hard and the park dosen't have to many puddles. its just a little skechy with 4 huge roster tails the whole time.

First time out to the skate park.  Its a little dark but a TON of fun.  A lot easier to clean up compared to the BMX track.  Not sure if its any harder on the vehicles even though its concrete - some very nice jumps out there.  If you've got an off-roader you gotta try the skate park!
