Fullmodtxt I was trying to sign up for the nercc sight but I can't seem to find a sign up page just a log in page. Do I have to email nercc in order to sign up?

[fullmodtxt]

madjug, that will work. You can email me or Kona-Joe. You thinking of attending on the 23rd?

[madjug2]

I'd like to I'm still working on the truck. I've got most of it together, gotta do the chassis to shock mount, install rear stear, put switch in radio for rear stear, mount the body and a couple of other little things

And nobody said the R word. Looks like it may be a repeat of last year.

[fullmodtxt]

Looks like I should have the little truck ready then! Maybe you should too? Would be a shame to debut your big truck on a sloppy day, Wonderful.

[mrwonderful]

I dont have a little truck anymore. I sold just about all the rc stuff I own.

[CoreyK]

Well, looks like i cant attend this one . Sorry guys. I dont have a big truck anymore and my little truck isnt done.

[mrwonderful]

Dang, thats too bad. Well, there's always next month. Have you decided what your little truck will be? Has anyone heard from burger yet? He seems to be MIA as of lately.

[CoreyK]

Yea. Im using a courier body. And im building another scale rig. Ill get ahold of burger tonight for you guys!

[Trac95ker]

You can stiill attend. Just take pics.

[panaosonic]

Sorry Guys...... I can not make this time...... :|

I am going to Japan.

Have Fun Guys!!!!! :mrgreen: I am going to do some digging hobby shop in Japan.
:-P

I am coming back late May.

[mrwonderful]

Well, we'll mis you. And have fun in Japan. Looks like it will be a small turnout. Unless Ed and derrick decide to come again.

[madjug2]

I'd like to go on Sunday. I still need to lock the diffs, put a body on it and put some real servos on it.

[CoreyK]

Cant make it either. Hopefully next month both my rigs will be done. Have fun!

[CoreyK]

Just talked to burger, he cant make it.

[mrwonderful]

Hmm, looks like they're wont be many people. So far the list seems to be:
Fullmod
Kona
Me
Trac95
maybe madjug

[madjug2]

I'm working on my truck right now. I really want to go, even if my truck breaks. I just want to see some rock crawlin!

[mrwonderful]

What kind of truck do you have? If its a txt, fullmod and kona have enough spares to build a whole nother truck. If you ask politley and give them a cookie, I'm sure they'll lend you somthing if you do break.

[CoreyK]

what do you need? I may have some stuff i can lend you thru mail if u pay shiping costs

[madjug2]

It's a Jugg 2 with the stock chassis modded a little. It's 16" wb, 55t lathe, 9 tooth pinion, tekin rebel 1 and I'm running nylint tires. I have one Hi-tec 615 132in.oz.(pre 645) and one Hi-tec quarter scale 700 174in.oz. both on 6v. I'v got a mount on the front for the quarter scale servo but it sticks out too far. But the main objective right now is to lock the diffs.

[madjug2]

A new chassis would be nice Ha Ha. I also need to put the rear steer switch in the TQ3

[Trac95ker]

you can still show up for a couple of hours. We could give you some pointers. I have a 1/4 scale up front also.

[madjug2]

Does the quarter scale servo get in the way.

[Trac95ker]

It depends on how you set the truck up. Mine is mounted horizontal. It poses some problems. Noyhing to major. Take into account the shock location and the tire arch path.

You just have to pic locations to mount it and see what if any problems occur. I like the power and strength of the larger gears.

[peej410]

i want to come up but i dont know how feesible it is, i broke a dshaft tonite and didnt make it to the hobby store till it was too late... also its like an 80 mile drive for me and i only have one working battery pack haha

[panaosonic]

Have Fun Guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mrgreen:

Please post pics later!!!

I`ll let you guys know what I can find over there :-P

[CoreyK]

Yea def let us know if you find anything cool! Wish i could have made it. My brando truck is almost done waiting on a lathe motor and spur from the LHS.

[madjug2]

Sorry I couldn't make it, I had some family stuff come up. Can't wait to see the pics.

Rain held of for long enough. We did have to vacat the area a little early, but we got in a few hours.

[CoreyK]

Looks like u had fun. Only you, rich, and vince? Is that your tuber? Looks niec. It sucks i couldnt make it.

[Trac95ker]

It was cool. I didn't think the rain was going to let up. When we got there it did. The rocks were slippery toward the late afternoon but it was still alot of fun!

Great pics Mr. W. I can't believe that the only broken part was a body panel!

[mrwonderful]
