If you were going to get into RACING, not fun running, off road. And you already have a MT. Would you gear up to run a TRUGGY or 1/8 scale 4wd BUGGY?

And when you answer, vote for your favorite chassis choice and motor.

This is a nitro question so keep electrics out of it.

I know you guys are going to say *caugh bullshit caugh* but this babe worked here about 6 months ago, we were pretty good friends (still got her cell phone number);

Associated Press Wrote:Mechanic Allegedly Taints Co-Workers' Coffee With Urine
Prosecutor: Co-Workers Captured Suspect On Tape

POSTED: 2:12 pm CDT August 25, 2005
AKRON, Ohio -- A postal worker has been charged with putting urine in the coffee of co-workers.

Thomas Shaheen, 49, of suburban Springfield Township, who works as a vehicle mechanic for the U.S. Postal Service, was charged Aug. 5 with two misdemeanor counts of adulteration of food or placing harmful objects in food.

He was ordered to appear in Akron Municipal Court on Monday.

Prosecutors said workers believed Shaheen poured urine into a coffee pot in a break room on July 5 and again July 6. Suspecting a problem, workers started their own investigation.

"Employees did put a video camera in, and that's how they were able to put a stop to what he was doing," Akron Prosecutor Douglas Powley said.

None of Shaheen's co-workers was physically harmed.

Shaheen could not be reached for comment. Repeated calls to his home went unanswered Thursday. A message was left for his attorney, Paul F. Adamson.

Shaheen has been a postal employee for 11 years, said David Van Allen, a postal service spokesman.

Customization and trucks go hand and hand. If you're rolling a stock truck you're not really into the whole truck scene. Savage owners have lots of options to turn the stocker into something more creative. HPI is now offering budding custome truckers the ability to customize their chassi with a pair of anodized chassis. But these aren't your regular one color jobs, but a two-tone with flame anodizing. It's currently available in two color combos.

I saw this on the grid, they are giving this guy a hard time on his overpriced auction. He keeps referring to it as a classic and said the kit alone is worth 800.00 before engine radio etc.

I got a good laugh out of it.

This may be a dumb question but here goes...

Just got it finished... Mugen MBX4 + JT Racing Truggy conversion + Collari .30 :joy:

I know I'm a burnout but that's not what this is about

I think I may be burned out with my RC hobby. I don't feel like maintaining them at all and really I could care less about bashing or racing anymore. I wonder if this is my "peak" or "rock bottom" in the hobby. I feel kinda burned out on it lately. Plus even after getting a job recently, I still have no money (I was making about the same amount on unemployment). Basically I have two race RC's and no will or money to maintain/race them.

Have any of you guys ever felt like getting out of the hobby, seriously?

:wavey:

Ok, I got my spektrum receiver back today, I go to run my maxx, I was just doin some high speed passes and wheelies through my lawn and such..

While I was making a turn, the engine with WOT for about 7 seconds not moving... how much damage did I do? The head was smoking afterwords.

How is this even possible? The carb was in the idle position the entire time, yet it was screamin full RPM not moving. (Thank god the spur stripped or my maxx would have went full speed into a neighbors BMW)

The truggy is just sitting and gathering dust I've decided to sell it. since the showme showdown its just sat on the shelf all dirty and still the the broke shock end and loose motor mount. I have no motovation to work on it so I fixed the front shock and went through it today.

I'm selling it as a rolling chassis just as you see it in the pics below. I partially dissasembled it and cleaned the major parts. this is a Kanai 2 truggy with an Al rear brace, Lunsford Ti front brace, Al C hubs in the front, Universals all round, Ti front turnbuckles. I installed Hot Bodies Lighting Satdium Pro Ring and Pinion gears (10/43 Vs. standard buggy 13/43 ring and pinions) so you can run standard buggy 13t clutchbell with the large tires no problem. You can also easily run buggy tires and raise the CB to a 16 tooth making it a simple CB, tire, and body swap away from running Unlimited and 1/8 buggy classes with the same RC. Servos (stock Futaba and JR 590), RX pack, and 2 bodies as well as the wheels shown are included. With some good grippy tires and a big ol' .28 on board this truggy would rip around the track.

the only known problems are a slightly tweaked front shock tower, and the wing is barley holding on.

to run it will need radio gear, engine, header, pipe, and motor mounts. (motor mounts that were on there were striped so I tossed them.) It has served me well and the only problems I had was a broken front shock from forgeting to set the front droop and a broken rear arm from jumping it at a CSRC event and landing on the right rear on a jump which sent it 40ft into the air. lol.

Also adding the set of Panther KDLP tires's on yellow Dom wheels as seen in my Sig.

I'm asking $200 obo for it. No trades. It goes on fleabay on sunday night if it doesnt' sell. Thanks for looking!
