Well after running Carlos's at the Harvest I decided to find one to use for a bacck-up buggy. I got one on e-bay then realised it was an RTR and not the Pro kit. Man I was dissappointed about that since now I have to spend some more money on a couple of upgrades.
Any way's I decided to go through the car and freshen everything up on it before I use it while I waited for parts to come in and it's a pain in the ass to get the diffs out unlike Hoboa which is only 6 screws. I got into the front diff and it was dry on the outside no grease what soever on the ring and pinion gears. I opened up the diff case and expecting to see some diff fluid inside (that's what manual shows plus Pro-Kits have fluid in them) but all I found was some grease.
To make a long story short I'm glad this is just a back-up to my HYPER since the Hyper drives great is easy to set-up and it is different from what every one else has. |

Dave,
You need to drive what everyone else is driving, so you can get parts at the track!! Hope all is well. Work hard nitro hard.    |

Dave, what's going on, you coming down this weekend? Bring the losi and get rid of that hobo, I mean hoboa. Just joking the hyper is a great vehicle, just hard to get parts when you really want them. |

Well the Lousy or losi is just about completed. and as for going down this weekend I see Marty is going down so I want to see if he might have room for me and my girlfriend. She really likes the HOBO so no making fun of it, any ways she got her very first 1st. place win with it 2 weeks ago in Reno. So now it's time for her to step up and try Rescue, I think it might be an easier track for her to run on anyways.
Be ready there just may be ONE more L O U S E ' on the track sunday. |

Ut Oh I've been caught. It seems that my WIFE LURKS these pages throughout the day while at work becouse she don't trust me home alone during the day.
So who is your girlfriend?????? I saw on Empire that you are thinking of going to Rescue with her? "so I want to see if he might have room for me and my girlfriend."

So for now on when talking about my girl friend we will have to use code. I'll send everyone a copy of it in an e-mail but DON"T tell my wife.

Well I took it out on the maiden voyage today and it it was doing very well. I had it dialed in for the heats and then when it came around for the main I didn't back out the droop any and I had some problems becouse the track was blown to smitherines and it was tossing me everywhere. Lesson learned, do NOT use much droop on real bumpy rough tracks with pot holes the size of truggy's becouse it just won't work. Had a blast but I'll kepp running the HYPER as my main ride and keep the 8ight for the back-up. |
