Hey Kasper sounds like a good idea

TrailDawg362 · 06-22-2010, 07:17 PM

So I took the mighty "redneck rv" in today for new water pump, lube oil filter...$328.77. Ok, not TOO bad @$75/hr.

The RE-MAN pump they put in ($76) was twice the price of a NEW one ($31 at Advance Auto), ok...fine. Just stick in slowly

.

I tell them to check the hoses while they're in there. Yeah, they're bad. $150??? Are you F'n kiddin' me? CHUCK YOU, FARLEY! They're $15 each at Advance Auto. Ok, whatever, no frikkin' way I'm payin' that. One end of one hose already had to be removed to do the pump. Markup plus unscrewing two or three more hose clamps? Yeah, riiiiight!

.

Then they tell me I should get a motor flush 'cuz there's water in the motor. REALLY? I was wunderin' where all that water I put in was going

.

Another $99 stays in my pocket!

Damn, I coulda sworn I wasn't blonde with big jugs

.

I almost asked them how much they'd charge for a dab of Vasaline, since it was already starting to hurt!

The total for this Colonoscopy woulda been over $600!

I almost forgot the extra $42 charge (A/C interference). FOR REALZ?

kasper · 06-22-2010, 10:33 PM

Where the hell did you take it blondy.

TrailDawg362 · 06-22-2010, 10:54 PM

Tires Plus...only because it was close by

.

This is why I normally do almost all my own wrenching.

I'm thinking what they mean by "Plus" is their free bend-you-over service

Satan6907 · 06-23-2010, 10:23 AM

I HAS DIG!

but my good, so much crap in such a small chassis. its crazy packed.

Super · 06-23-2010, 10:41 AM

You gonna run one of Kaspers Bergs.....Be careful those things are like crack, once you start driving you won't be able to put the controler down.

Satan6907 · 06-23-2010, 10:45 AM

i know, I drove ir sunday, wow, totaly diffrent beast.

I got the steering stright too, no more extreme toe out. Wont know if it does the split until friday.

one bearing was totaly fubar.

Got all the electrics mounted now too, no more floppy rx.

TrailDawg362 · 06-23-2010, 01:36 PM

I lost track of what you're running for a rig. Dig can sink or save you at first, until you learn how and when to use it. I'm still at the sink stage most of the time, but then again I don't practice much

i got the axial based ff-4 with the dna dig.

i pretty much know when you use the dig, even though today is the first day i have had it in the axial.

TrailDawg362 · 06-23-2010, 02:13 PM

Ok, I thought thats what you had. Lots of stuff packed in there then, two pounds of shizz in a one pound bag

. DNA has a good rep, you'll have to let us know how you like that unit.

I'm itching to tear my crawler apart for a 2.2 TT build but the VP dig would stay, it's worked smooth as butter so far.

Satan6907 · 06-23-2010, 03:24 PM

the FF-4 chassis is pretty small, had to mod the dig, and the chassis to fit the tranny, motor and dig unit in, plus i got the esc and rx mounted on the links, dig servo ontop of the dig and the big ass turnigy bec of kaspers ontop of the motor. Then you figure in all the ****ing wires.

Only place for the battery is ont he rear axle

TrailDawg362 · 06-23-2010, 05:55 PM

I hear ya

. I put the BEC on the backside of the steering servo, and made an adaptor plate out of lexan so I could run a Hitec MG-225 mini dig servo instead of the standard size. Little things like that add up to lower your COG

.

Satan6907 · 06-23-2010, 05:59 PM

the dna i have uses a mini servo already. and the wires arnt long enough to put the bec upfront.

Satan6907 · 06-23-2010, 06:59 PM

have a vxl esc listed on ebay, and some actually had to ask if it was a brushless or brushed esc. they also asked how many runs on it, hell if i know, i dont count how many times i run my rcs, and i got it used.

TrailDawg362 · 06-23-2010, 07:29 PM

Is it brushed or brushless? How many runs on it?

Mmmmm, Fazoli's Meatball Smasher...sounds wrong, tastes good

Holy Shiete!!! I think about taking my stuff in for work some times but even being charged $25 for an oil change that can be done for $15 in the driveway turns me off. Today I picked up an engine for my 98 Contour and it was $360 but only has 49,000 miles on it. It will be a week or two before I will have it in and running but the only lube needed will be for the motor not my rectum...

TrailDawg362 · 06-23-2010, 08:42 PM

I know, huh!

Modean74 · 06-25-2010, 08:41 PM

I try to do most of my own wrenching just for that reason, and I like to bang my knuckles then throw stuff and swear. On a good note, I found a good mechanic about 2 blocks from me that doesnt charge the usual arm, leg, and most of a foot for repairs.

Satan6907 · 06-26-2010, 04:20 PM

I am doing pretty good, only broke a dog bone.

Kasper is sucking it up pretty good, broke a dog bone, small fire from the mamba max...

T-Buck is sucking pretty bad too.
