I was in there yesterday looking for some of that rust paint, styrine and motors. They didnt have any thing i was looking for. Next time one of you guys place an order for mats let me know, id like to get some styrene sheets I wanna try my hand at building a cap for the chevy and some round to build a winch for the front. I hope some of the kids that were there last week show up this week and decide to buy trucks. Id like to build up that points fund and get started on another course. I want this one to be alittle more scaler friendly and more like what you would see out west with rockier terrain.

Well the good news is ive got a new receipt copy comin in the mail, didnt feel like drivin there just for that. So i can get my esc fixed.

Im pretty much done with hobby force though, whenever i frickin need something stupid that should be in stock they dont have it. And i coulda told you before they dont carry styrene for god knows fawkin why....

I'll bring you a couple sheets of .060 if you want wed. then you can get started on that topper.

X2 on the points fund and another course

John's Hobby Shop used to have styrene. I haven't been there in over a year to buy it though. It would probably pay to call first. Can't remember how competitive the prices were, but the selection was decent. They have a ton of models there too.

ScalerLover · 02-27-2010, 07:29 PM

Where the hell is Johns Hobby Shop ?

theholybull · 02-27-2010, 09:48 PM

Its on the square in downtown Mansfield. I always forget about johns. I guess i will have to stop in and take a look. To be honest i dont know if it is still open. I'll call monday and find out. Neo hows that scaler coming along?

NeoNeoN · 02-28-2010, 01:37 PM

As long as epoxy can hold a plutonium magnet I'm in good shape. Already have my LED schematic now just have to dig and find the right resistors. I hate looking for the colors on those damn things.

ScalerLover · 02-28-2010, 05:38 PM

Gotta question for you guys, my buddy from Marysville has to buy his GF a car, so he dont have money to buy a micro this week but seeing as its the last week to get in on the points i said he can barrow my truck.

Are there any rejections to this idea ?
If so ill build my other one back up and just swap esc's and make him run the stock body.

Whatcha guys think ?

NeoNeoN · 03-01-2010, 09:35 AM

I don't see a problem with it. Tell him that if he buys her a car, she better get him a micro. Or have him find a car that is $119 cheaper and he's set.

theholybull · 03-01-2010, 10:47 AM

Thats fine with me the more the merrier. just called johns and they carry the complete line of evergreen styrene. I think im gonna head over there tomorrow after i drop the boy off at school. Anyone need anything?

ScalerLover · 03-01-2010, 11:50 AM

Cool beans, hes still trying to get one for himself by wednesday but if he dont i'll let him run mine.

Ive got plenty of styrene for now lol.

ScalerLover · 03-01-2010, 07:36 PM

I just bought another micro, RTR for 88 bucks shipped BRAND NEW !!! BWAHAHAHA

Dont tell Mark and his dad lol.

theholybull · 03-01-2010, 08:37 PM

Where the hell did you find that, and are there any more?

ScalerLover · 03-01-2010, 09:35 PM

Dude on scale4x4 had it, i was watching it he originally posted it for 100 shipped, which was a good price for a NEW RTR.
Tonight he dropped it to 88 shipped, so i pounced on it lol.

theholybull · 03-01-2010, 09:41 PM

thats cool you can put your Dodge back together. Im trying to keep my eyes open for another one so i can build my lindberg yota. Neo, hows the scaler coming?

ScalerLover · 03-01-2010, 10:33 PM

Yep, Dodge will go back together. ESC should be getting fixed for the blazer once i get my receipt, then i need a pack of shocks and some driveshafts maybe and a set of wheel's/tires and ill be set.

Wish my tiny lipos would have gotten here before wed.
