Woodridge Jumps - 11/11/05

[RobH]

Another bash where I was RC-less, but squirrellives let me use his buggy... and I broke it. Here are the pics, enjoy.











































The following pics are from the hill climb... You can't tell in the pics, but it was pretty damn steep, and rough as hell.

Rob,

Awesome night shots. Sorry for getting there so late and not having time to BS with the guys I didn't meet at Berwyn. Sorry, not trying to be rude, just short on time is all.

Rob, I needed a picture of the stump the Revo pulled out of the berm right when I got there

I'll put on the traction tires next time we go there. That hill climb isn't that tough !!!

Now to go fix that a-arm once and for all.

Good job guys, nice bashin'

[DAVEC-NITRO-RS4]

I really appreciated the help getting pulled out of the bushes every 10 seconds!!!
Buggy power really rips up the jumps. I need more power, Scotty!!!
os18tm? hmmmmm, Santa?

if its still there next time, I'll get a pic.





Anyone know where I can get moly grease, and a syringe?

[Tex]

just slide a small screw driver under the boot, lift it up and squirt some AE black grease in there

that's what I always used although it may heat up with friction, not sure.

Moly grease (which I have a 2lb tub off) for sure DOES NOT heat up with friction.

this is getting to be disturbing......

it says it on the outside of the package.... It's mainly for packing wheel bearings on 1:1 cars and other uses as well

Here you go

From I-355 exit at 75th street.
75th street west to Woodridge Drive (White Hen on NE corner).
Turn right and follow Woodridge Drive about 1/3 mile to 71st Street.
Either turn left and park on 71st, or go a little further and pull into the mulch area on the right.
Directly across from 71st you will see a narrow bike trail running into the wooded area. Immediately inside the treeline is the area with the big jumps.

Thanks, I really appreciate that

Fujifilm Finepix A210, 3.2mp. its about $130 at most places online, my grandparents bought it on sale for me for like $80.

The closeups on this camera amaze me:

Who owns the yellow MAXX,and what wing are you using? Looks good

Thats UE-Maxx's predator/supermaxx. He runs dace wingmount towers, mugen wingstay and brace, and im pretty sure its a pro-line wing. It could be a mugen wing, they look pretty close, and are both durable.

Thanks for the info! That's about 3 blocks from my house!! I have to go check it out. I take my kid to the park there, and usually bash on the playground or in the parking lot! Never wandered into the woods over there! Looks like I found a place to test out the Matrix! Now if only I could get the temps under 300!

Yea, the closeups are great also! I have a sony cam, and the closeups suck!

Thanks again!

UE-Maxx, if you are going to go back, let me know. I'll bring all my stock arms and knuckles and driveshafts so breaking one doesnt end your day.



here is a video squirrel took on his phone: http://www.chitownrc.com/gallery/misc.ph...file&i=533

[squirrel]

nice rob!!!! i didn't think you could do that!!!! i'm gonna send you another vid it's what we did to tony at work!!! you da man rob!


btw tony did that a while back!!! looked cooler in person!

[TowShen]

ya and the buggy kept running afta that!

[FreeRideFrosty]

Hehe... I like the pic of my unbreakable Revo... oh well. Better luck next time. I did manage to make the hill climb and hit quite a few jumps before that dreadful snap...

[Green Hornet]

nice picts, looked like a lot of fun

[UE-Maxx]

Rob that picture is great with the buggy body on your truck. With a wing it would look even cooler.

Thats cool if you bring your stock arms and knuckles. I planned on doing that because I don't plan on getting aluminum arms (RacerX).

Let me know when the next time you guys are going up there. I will definately want to go.
