You have 4 days plenty of time.

JHTreyIII · 03-30-2015, 01:10 PM

Oh you'll get it back before you know it. You have more enthusiasm than most of us!

I am a little frustrated with RC4WD at the moment. Those darn helical gears for my yota axles are still not in stock. I've got the U-bolt kit and so the axles are even more of a pain to mount up. I don't really want to proceed with my build until I have those gears installed. I'd like to install all that stuff one time and not pull it back apart. Tower Hobbies website says mid-may on those now. WTF...

I've decided not to do the long bed thing. I'm just feeling too lazy for that right now.

johnnyh66 · 03-30-2015, 01:13 PM

ha! I've had 4 months.
I don't see myself working on them for a while...

I might get around to sending Hera to the powder coaters and my DDK to Rick to bore out... then she just needs to be put together, the hood, panels and dude's need painting, electronics trays built.

Melon's needs a rebuild.
I broke one of the brand new Upper Link Riser's within the 1st min of my last run and some bolts/nuts fell out.

My new Weekend Warrior build needs skids and electronics mounts... and paint.

C1 needs all kinds little shit fabbed.

johnnyh66 · 03-30-2015, 01:15 PM

basically, I hope to have at least Melons and Hera running by end of July for KOG... that's my current goal.

talmond · 03-30-2015, 01:18 PM

You guys should come out to Aldeen park in Rockford. I had 50 + gates setup at the event Saturday

It's easy to forget about tiny trucks when you are about to go to turkey!
Plus you been working like. Dare I say it?

A Mexican! Get it john! Do cool stuf!

I kinda lost motivation at Sundays comp. when my c1 was being a piece of shit.
It has never finished a course. Booo hiss. Goodbye!

My 1.9 wraith did great against all the 2.2 trucks it gets lumped in with.
I was worried.
I hope my c2 is ready for gurus

johnnyh66 · 03-30-2015, 04:13 PM

lol, last night I got up at 3am and worked till 5am and then back to bed till 7am.

Mike Flea · 04-01-2015, 08:12 PM

Wow, this is unusual, you guys are always chatting up a storm here, must be the nice weather, everybody's outside

.....enjoy it while you can, temps are supposed to drop into the upper 20's, low 30's Friday night.

JHTreyIII · 04-02-2015, 07:48 AM

It only took like 2 years but I just saw that VP is finally doing XR width currie tubes. Hoopty will be excited!

about time... what has it been 2 or 3 years after they said they would? pshaw.

i really wish there was another company that was giving vp decent competition. i like their stuff but they get away with ihmo horrible customer service and a take it or leave it attitude.

i sent many polite emails over the pinion bearing issue after i bought my curries, never got a reply. but you bet your ass if i go to their webstore and order a bunch of shit somebody is paying attention to that process...

I was hoping this was not a April fools joke..looks like i need to keep an eye out ..

JHTreyIII · 04-02-2015, 12:33 PM

I don't think it is. I see them on the "new products" page on VP's website. I think the most exciting part is the rear axle shafts that they're making to go with them!

JHTreyIII · 04-02-2015, 03:28 PM

Woo hoo! I just picked up one of the new Cruiser bodies from RPP's Salvage Yard page! Pretty excited, looks like it was the only one in stock too! It's just the complete body set from the kit. The JK is turning into an FJ! Eventually, I have so many projects going on right now.

i have one of the old fracture (i think) rc4wd steel fj frames that would fit perfectly under one for a scale build. i think rc4wd was unloading them for cheap.
