Thanks, Cory. I know once I'm there I'll have a blast!! Can't wait to meet everyone, check out the rigs, and play with toy trucks! But now I have to deal with a very hectic night of building and packing right before we fly out first thing Thursday morning. I paid for overnight shipping to avoid this scenario 'cause I hate not being prepared and having to scramble at the last minute.

I'm sure it'll all work out, though. I just hope the move to 14t and 4s is a good one. Hell, at this point as long as the motor doesn't blow up I think I'll be happy!! :ror:

Even if you have to install it Thursday night you'll be fine. Every year we all stress until we get there then it's just plain a good time. I'm hoping a motor for my Modified/TTC rig shows up today or tomorrow. If it doesn't I'll be running an Axial stock 27t on 3s:ror: No big deal, I'm just excited to go and see awesome rigs getting driven hard"thumbsup"

BTW, if you need something to be there at a certain time only pick UPS. Everything else fails more often then not.

Thanks, Zach. I'm sure everything will be cool. I'm just stressed getting everything together at the last minute and would prefer to socialize in Montana instead of wrenching the whole time! :ror: I tell ya, flying really complicates things way more than I'd anticipated! USPS is doing their part to deliver the motor. The package just wasn't dropped off in time due to an apparent misunderstanding. On the bright side, at least my Class 1 rig is scheduled to be delivered to The Hobby Garage today. "thumbsup"

Regarding motors, I'll be running the 14t, but will have 10t and 7t pullers as backups thanks to some great buddies who have my back!

Sounds like me getting ready for Scale Nats every year. Up all night building and packing and heading out on no sleep. :ror:

It'll all work out somehow Tommy. Besides, you can work in the shop and socialize at the same time, lord knows I've done it. "thumbsup":ror:

It's 11:30pm. I just finished packing up most of my gear. We leave for the airport in six hours. But Oly is back together and ready to ROCK!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Now I just need to pray the motor stays cool enough and I don't have another meltdown!! :roll:

Thanks, y'all! Yep, I painted up a new body at the last minute. More details later, but Oly and the Boring Yota are now in Montana!!

Whew, long day!! I appreciate all the kind words, fellas. Hopefully tomorrow the rigs will both hold together. It's been a great experience so far and it's really cool to meet so many folks from the forum! Now I'm off to bed for some much needed rest!
