Snow Bash Saturday January 28th! - squirrel - 01-26-2006
don't even trip about the water! I have run my buggy in the snow many times and the servos are fine! I just ballooned the reciever.
Snow Bash Saturday January 28th! - BottledBeast - 01-26-2006
well im gonna have to bring myself a baloon with me
Snow Bash Saturday January 28th! - squirrel - 01-26-2006
Why not just do it at home? It takes about 3 seconds! And you won't have to worry about it then!
You guys need to check out my new pit bag! Total cost is like $3 and it holds both starterboxes, my buggy and losi, 8 tires, 1 JR xs3! The thing is huge, with wheels!!!!!
Snow Bash Saturday January 28th! - BottledBeast - 01-26-2006

LOL, no I had the bad laying around the house from when I played sports. The cost is going to come front the wood I need to buy to rienforce it.

I threw my stock revo boxes back on so that I have some protection lol....
Snow Bash Saturday January 28th! - FreeRideFrosty - 01-26-2006
My revo boxes are in the landfill. After talking to gabe he said that every time one of his ervos has stopped working he just waited for it to dry out and it worked fine. I will try to balloon my reciever but since it is siliconed to my chassis it may be interesting. Oh well... LoL

I thought "balloons" were for protection......boxes are for putting things in. :wavey:

Takes about 20 mins. I'll PM the directions here in a minute.

this is gonna be alot of driving for me saturday...i wake up and drive 20min to dans..then to wherever he needs to go then to the bash..then from the bash to aurora...lol
Snow Bash Saturday January 28th! - FreeRideFrosty - 01-26-2006
Drew I am not sure if I will have the ramp picked up before you get to my place or not. If I do we will just chill at my place for a little bit, if not you can ride with me to get the ramp as it is kind of the other way from the bash. I am not too far from you and I am only a little bit out of the way of the bash... (Can't help you on the aurora part.)
Snow Bash Saturday January 28th! - Tex - 01-26-2006
I'm not sure about whos all planning on hitting the ramp but I'm not. I'm racing Sunday and may not even drive the revo at all Sat.
Snow Bash Saturday January 28th! - FreeRideFrosty - 01-26-2006
It will depend on how much cash I have... If it is nice out I will probably at least hit it small. If I will have time to get to the shop if I break something I may jump big... I will play it by ear.
Snow Bash Saturday January 28th! - squirrel - 01-26-2006
See this is where I step in and laugh at you guys! I live in Bolingbrook, napervilles ghetto stepchild! It would basically be on my way! lol. J/k I don't think that ramp will fit in the explorer!!!!I'll be at the bash around noon so. . . !
Snow Bash Saturday January 28th! - BottledBeast - 01-26-2006
aight thats fine....is the truck a standard cab or extended??
Snow Bash Saturday January 28th! - Ponch - 01-26-2006
Hey Dan....want me to bring an x-factor ramp too?/will it fit in the truck too? I know it'll all fit in our super huge truck lol...J/W...
Yeah, so if the gates are open, then we head to where the october bash was, and if they're not we bust out the bolt cutters?....Um...I mean....We bash from in the little lot out front?
If we do bash out front...Then I think we should throw the ramps up in the street and land in the grass....easy to hit then, and easy on the trucks.
I think if I don't sell the buggy by then I might bring it and see how far/high I can get with it. Anyone being camera man?
Snow Bash Saturday January 28th! - FreeRideFrosty - 01-26-2006
extended... I will probably put all of the RC stuff in the bed and get it all tied down since my buddy may be coming with (thubbed one) that way we have the back seat. When we get to hooters I will flip the seat up as I will have matt and his RC stuff as well. (that way we can have it locked up) You are following though right??
Snow Bash Saturday January 28th! - Ponch - 01-26-2006
Yeah, I'm still in for hooters and a ride to there and home. You figure out how much gas cash I'm shelling out yet? lol....
Snow Bash Saturday January 28th! - BottledBeast - 01-26-2006
yea im following..i was just wondering becuase my buddy joe is comming with me and if i gotta ride with u to get the ramp i was just making sure thier is room for all of us
Snow Bash Saturday January 28th! - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 01-26-2006
The Dave ramp is 36" wide and a full 8' long with a long lead in transition and fully adjustable from nearly flat to nearly vertical. You can find some angle to hit with soft landings, I'm sure. Trucks don't take an abrupt whack when they hit it unless you have it cranked up steeply. Even then it pretty smooth. Just bring your largest fishing net and catch the trucks before they slam violently into the ground...............I mean land.
PS: you guys will remember to bring this thing back after Hooters and 1000 beers, right??? :beer:
Snow Bash Saturday January 28th! - FreeRideFrosty - 01-26-2006
Since it is 8 feet long (and my dad's truck doesn't have the long 8 foot bed... we have the 6 1/2 foot one) then I guess we will need to run it upside down with the long part hanging out or something...
Matt... bring what you want. It should all fit. If not we will sell it. LoL No... it should all fit.
Drew... yeah there is room if you guys end up riding with to get the ramp...
