Cool NEK, it is only Tuesday and something will probably come up, but see what you can do and maybe it'll work out (on this end at least).

Hahah, well I`m not sure if I`ll be ready or not. My trucks back together for the most part, but I ditched the body I was going to use, so I`m going to pick up another one in a day or two and do it up.

aychdee · 01-24-2008, 06:47 AM

Sunday is lookin to be half way decent, hopefully.

I`m going to try and pick up the body I want to use tomorrow, hopefully one of the LHS have it. Got some soldering to do today, so it should be able to roll under its own power today. I want to pickup a box to use to waterproof the rx too.

NEK5 · 01-24-2008, 11:31 AM

Well, got all my soldering done, still a beginner, so they don`t look perfect, but, they work!

Now I just need to get a body, and wheel weights, and should be all set!

aychdee · 01-24-2008, 01:31 PM

What body are you looking for and where are you going to get it?

Well, I was hoping to get the 80 chevy longbed body, but RCCarstore in Danvers doesn`t have it, so I`m getting the 72 chevy longbed body,

CeeBlock · 01-24-2008, 07:58 PM

I just bought a Bronco body over at RcCarStore. im over there like everyday. haha.... i rolled the bronco once in my living room and the body broke. so i had to hack it all up and go custom......I dont know what the heck I want to put on my ax10 for a body. i want something big, that the tires will fit inside the wheel wells....

Nothing better than a Chevy body

I like to get ones that are wide, so the tires go in the body when it tucks them.

aychdee · 01-25-2008, 05:56 AM

Pretty much any of the Maxx/ Savage bodies fit and look sick, You better pick up that body and getter painted, supposed flurries on Sunday morning. Should be good for crawlin'. I'll bring a heat gun and a generator if I gotta!!!

Went to the Willows after work on Wednesday, alot of good areas out at winter island. You can drive right up to 98% of 'em, 10 second walk for the others. I might have to pick up a beater body, cause the Rubicon I just finished is too good lookin'......... maybe not. I'll probably get like a Crowd Pleazer and hack out the wheel arches.

We still doing this guys? I`m going to pick my body up today, and get it painted. Any idea where I can find some stick on wheel weights? I want to get my wheels/tires together...

aychdee · 01-25-2008, 07:17 AM

As for the stick on weights, I'll see if I got a box at work, most likely not. You can always swing by a tire shop and grab some. Most likely a motorcycle shop because that's what we and everyone else use. As for Sunday, hell yeah, I'll be there. Where we gonna meet up and what time.

c0astie31 · 01-25-2008, 08:08 AM

where you guys goin sunday, i need all the info so can put in the gps, thanks guys, i should be in by noon, so all the info time,place and that good stuff

NEK5 · 01-25-2008, 09:42 AM

Someone tell me where to be, and I`ll do my best to be there. Trucks done for the most part, just going to go grab the body and receiver box in a few minutes and get it painted up. I`ll only have three batteries, maybe 4. How long we planning on staying? Should I bring my charger?

I cant find a wide enough one around. i think maybe i have to go 1/8th scale? I want the fenders to sit close to flush with the tires so it looks more scalish.... I dont like the "body sitting totally inside the tires" look.
