scrc indoor Comp #3 rc Hobbies Naperville - Jetboat - 03-14-2008
couple miles... From Joliet prolly faster to take I355 to I88 get off @ 59, only a couple blocks south of I88 on 59
scrc indoor Comp #3 rc Hobbies Naperville - Ponch - 03-14-2008
Ok....
So I googled the address from RC Hobbies site. It says that it is a little south of ogden ave, and a couple blocks south of the naperville HT.
Correct? I thought it was north of there.

Matt,
Just take RT 59 NORTH from the Naperville Hobbytown.....then look for WENDY's on your RIGHT about 2 miles down. Turn into the Wendy's and it is behind it.
scrc indoor Comp #3 rc Hobbies Naperville - Jetboat - 03-14-2008
yeah, google getting you lost!!!! It NORTH of HT. From my house, if I take 355-88-59 its about 30-35 mins...via 59 its closer to an hr because of the mall...just fyi.

My brother and I both wish we could make it. But, we both have to work so take good pictures.
scrc indoor Comp #3 rc Hobbies Naperville - Jeep_Guy - 03-15-2008
Should be a GREAT day.....good comp location....hopefully no broken trucks......Wendy's Spicy BACONATTOR to start the afternoon. ROCK ON!!!
Matt, I should be there by Noon (leaving the house at 11:15).....that should be enough time to get that radio set up before everything starts.

man, I was working on this thing till 2:45am this morning. Everything "should" be good to go. I'm a little worried about my battery pack. Anyone ever tried soldering a pack together with a 60watt iron lol. It dosen't work too well. I ended up heating the tip with a propane torch and trying to work very quickly lol. What a mess. 4 hours to assemble a pack geesh. Time to call cheapbatterypacks.com. Hopefully I didn't destroy a 55.00 pack lol I charged it up and it said it had 9.880 volts so I'm guess ing I didn't destroy any batteries lol
I'm gonna be pissed if this thing breaks on the first rock lol

scrc indoor Comp #3 rc Hobbies Naperville - AddictedtoNITRO - 03-15-2008
woohoo. Thanks for a great time guys. (even though I broke) Hopefully I can do this again soon. Now I know all my weak points lol
First let me say that I completely forgot that I brought my camera until it was too late. Then I broke so my share of pics is minimal but here they are. Hopefully next time I can get some more of everybody. Sorry guys.

scrc indoor Comp #3 rc Hobbies Naperville - Jetboat - 03-16-2008
nope, just by hand, I think I used to much locktight when I put them on but, I was tired of the hex spinning.
I did manage to get the wifes Talon done, kept it pretty basic no dig or anything fancy....Now just have to get her to compete.

Keep in mind, some people upgrade too much, causing more problems in unexpected areas...

Hey , I just wanted to say that those guys running RC Hobbies are great guys. To take the space and time in their store shows their devotion to the hobby and their customers. My little one wanted one of those helicopters on a stick things that was $2 and he was going to give it to her, very nice but im trying to teach her things cost money. They made us feel very welcome. Allison had no problem driving the crawler through the store and possibly drove the owner nuts.
We had a great time! Thanks.
