Ian....if you find that SOB you be sure to give him the old 8-9-10 (that's where it takes eight doctors nine hours to remove your size 10 boot from his ass) If you need a couple of bodies let me know...I'll ship them right out |

| Did you get this hoping for a better fit or for the bling factor? A great end result, regardless. |

| I was honestly hoping for a better fit, and a better fit it was indeed. in 2 out of 3 trans all gears were true and when i installed the HR Trans box the binding went away completely. i highly recommend this as a fix, given that you have trued your gears.

| Now hear this.
To all involved in "Operation Topless Resuscitation" PLEASE check your messages on your sites. I have something planned for all of you. Dogbreath, you know what a Campaign Coin is right? I want to thank you all so much for this. You mean so much to me. I was telling your story of selflessness to my team and someone piped up with, "Call 'em up, we need 'em on!" I couldnt put any of you in harms way even if you asked, but i would stand proud to call you teammates of mine. Thank you all again, truly a brotherhood of crawlers, the essence of E Pluribis Unum.

Just an FYI Ian, a box of goodies is en route to your house. We know what kind of a tuner you are so we sent out some new micro Vertexes, new stock tires/wheels/hexes, wheel weight kits, hardware kits, wheel lock nut kits, and a lil somethin extra to keep the sun off your head A big thanks to Gopher for his random and selfless paypal to help cover the cost. I wouldn't give him my paypal addy so he took a shot in the dark and fired some funds to my email addy hoping it was connected. It's time like these that really make you proud to be part of a group like this. Let us know if there is anything else you need. BWD |

I hope we cross paths at some point maybe at a comp or something. i would be proud to shake your hands.

Ian, the HR tranny case and spur gear came in today. Will ship to your residence tomorrow. I also had to get one for myself and it is smooth.

Thanks a million guys, dont forget to get back to me with your contact info. Also i found that with the HR trans case installed it wont be so finicky with thicker greases. call it placebo if you want but i put MK19 (the belt-fed grenade launcher) lubricant in it and it makes the rig a little quieter and a lot smoother. ill try to find a civilian equivalent but the stuff is da bomb! *pun*

| long awaited
I appologize to all of you that have been so instrumental to this build. i know its a long time but i havent forgotten. As some of you may know i really dig the shiny copper look. with a little experimentation with home-brew anodizing i got it down. Without further ado, i present.... the copperhead. the rig is 4WS, and lipo. it runs a re-canned BBII, and is geared a little high for more smack. the wheels are the HR beadlocks with copper plated BWD wheel weights, topped with the RC4WD Rock crusher micros. more to follow my friends, more to follow! |
