I think I have rails with the front cut and maybe even the rear cut a little. The center section with both upturns are still there. Interested?

[JHTreyIII]

How much did you take off the front? Will a hand bros cms still mount up?

I got the rails that way and then I think I took some off the back. I don't think you can bolt a CMS to them. That's right at the very front. I'll bring them with but, I doubt you can bolt the cms to them.

Look.. Impulse buy at hobbytown today:


should be fun..

[JHTreyIII]

What is that?

[Die-Laughing]

Its a HPI Sprint 2 on road racer

[JHTreyIII]

Sweet! You run it yet??? Is it pretty fast? We should do some on road racing!

[JHTreyIII]

Hopefully I can keep my revo together a little better this time. It was a train wreck at the camping trip! Wheels falling off, outdrives popping out or breaking. I had the slipper way too tight. That thing has so much power it just self destructs when I do that.

lol, I had the same issue with my eRevo and my RC8Te, every time I ran mine with 6 cells I broke. Not as often on the RC8Te but enough and they were both fast as hell on 5S or 4S.

Going to have to slow down my RC habit. Took the motorhome in to have the Fridge and AC serviced, came away with it being in the shop for 3 weeks and a $3000 bill. New Fridge, AC service and the roof scraped, cleaned and recaulked. Freaking highway robbery.

I have one of those in a box somewhere... think it needs a few parts. Maybe I can toss in the 5700k and the sidewinder in it.

Only reason I have issues on 6S is if I hit something or flip it too badly, then a few things can I go wrong, but otherwise the RC8T has been solid.

The revo has been pretty solid, even hit a tree once going pretty fast and it stayed together. I've ruined 5 outdrives, all due to torque. The first 4 were plastic though.

Yeah, its pretty fun. I got the brushed version though, I think I'll want to put a Castle BL system in it sometime. They have a flux version but, its $150 more or something so, I figured I could just get my own BL system and put it in there.
I'll have sticky rubber tires and some drifts tires. Should keep me entertained in my local parking lots for a minute.

[Die-Laughing]

Well, I'm not gonna be able to make it tomorrow. I'll have to get you guys your parts next time or your welcome to pick them up. Have fun out there!

[johnnyh66]

I just got back from Ohio and am charging up the batteries... it's been a long, hot day but... good news!
Now I just need a chassis! DL, I'll paypal you to mail it to me Monday.

I should be there at 9:30 for set up.

[neillarson]

Cleaning out my garage and found some stuff for 1X1 4 wheelers. Let me know if you want any of it before it goes in the garage sale.

2 set of tow chains with choker hooks, I used them at the county fair towing wrecks off the demo derby course

1 clevis

1 HiLift tree saver with a Pair of Hlift gloves

1 red jerry can

(EDIT): I also have 3 2" hitch draw bars with balls, probably all 2" balls and of caring drops, one is zero drop, the others I believe are 4" and 8". Then I have 2 that are 1 1/4" draw bars, one i believe has a 1 7/8" ball.
