NIRC. Chit Chat

So what do you guys think of the power wagon? Johnny was right. It's nothing new of course...just a lexan body. I don't like dodges (after owning one) but I think it's pretty nice looking. It's a little odd that they don't put chassis mounted bumpers on it but maybe that's because everyone ditches them anyway.

Poor Buster played too hard today with the Yeti.. He was running full speed and slid on his paws on some gravely asphalt and scraped up his paws pretty good.. Bloody skin flaps and he just kept on going.. He manned through it and kept playing until I noticed so, we started towards the truck and I think the stinging set in. I carried him the rest of the way and went to the vet. Gonna need bandages on at least 3 paws but, he'll be ok though. Poor lil' guy.. First real sports injury in his life.. Gonna get lots of rest & pampering!

[johnnyh66]

yup, can't have them play on concrete or stones.
I made the mistake of taking my dogs to a tennis court once... the grippy texture tore them up.

Gotta keep the puppy rc action on soft ground I guess.

New GCM Axle that debuted at ECSC.

He said they are being marketed as a "scale" axle and may damage under serious abuse... those Canadians even drive their trucks nice!

[thzero]

Speaking on scale... all our frames are too narrow width wise

[johnnyh66]

hu?
You mean scx frame rails scaled up to match 1:1?

god damnit... i messed up and got the freaking tall crawler innoavation foams for my voodoo's, but they take the normals... grr. it took me awhile to realize it was what was making my beads waaay over 2.2" when i was trying to mount them up to the method wheels. i think as long as i have to order some new foams im also going to order the crawler innovations plastic 6bolt wheels as well and maybe sell these methods. i dunno... sucks to order the wrong parts, i shoulda done a little research.

at least i can use these tall foams on my pitbull or irok 2.2's.

oh, and these voodoos in the gold compound are probably the softest and stickiest tires ive ever had. pretty neat tires.

i think the decased tzi winch is far more interesting.

[johnnyh66]

so, is it safe to assume no one is interested in going back to PA in a few weeks?

GCM makes the case for TZI that I do know.

[sally1800]

So Chris and Trey we have been talking is next week better for you both?

[badhoopty]

my tzi winches got sent back to ny, again.

they arrived in ny, got shipped to chicago, back to ny, and back to chicago, and now back to ny…

i called them yesterday, and for some bs reason they couldnt confirm the address they were being shipped too, so i filed a claim or something and they are going to call me back and tell me what i already know.

i dunno wtf the deal is… my jetboat came from australia with no issues at all. i can only speculate that something on the address is incorrect. tzi has been a good guy through it, but its gonna be a case of either getting my money back or having him ship me another pair and not use usps. definitely sucks to know i coulda had them weeks ago and that the usps is just about as worthless as tits on a boar as far as figuring out whats going on.
