Well, the batmobile lives with a 4.5R velocity bl setup. Don't know how fast it goes cause it keeps spinning out as soon as i get passed half throttle no matter how slowly i roll into it it starts spinning out. It looks cool though.

have you checked the suspension? it sounds like your loosing traction and unloading on one wheel. if thats not it is there any way of adding more down force?
man i wish i could be there right now! but i need to rip my max trany apart and find out why it isn shift to second, heck i cant even find the adjust screw in the trany! and my hyper flung the rear diffs drive cup. so it will be a lil bit befor ethey are both rockin again. im also working a double today, but the OT should pay for all my parts and then some!
Same 'ol Fun!

I broke my buggy... 3 times!! first time on a bad launch off the ramp the car went airborn sideways and ended up landing on the left front corner which broke the front arm and upper hinge pin... . I fixed it all in a 20 mins though. Then later hit the tree and when it came down it broke a rear suspension arm... fixed that too. then I lost a CB bearing which I fixed up as well. ended up going home still running. Got lots of video of my stupidness and 50+ foot jumps though.. lol!

Well, its saturday again, and i'm looking forward to finishing break-in on my new OS .30vg for the Jammin buggy. I'm not really concerned because the closest I get to racing is an open practice at LH so I don't have to worry about any rules.
As far as other cars, I only thing I'll bring the Jato, not sure if I wanna lug the maxx out. I'd take the batmobile but its simply so low to the ground that it can't be driven with the little pebels out there.

Is anyone up for ordering food again? Really hits the spot when you are there all day. 
Also, the joys of break-in, got 3 tanks out of a glow plug before it fouled out and wouldn't run without the igniter on there.
2 more tanks and it'll be ready for tuning! ![[Image: burnout.gif]](http://mywebpages.comcast.net/wjrneo2/burnout.gif)
*edit: It LIVES!!! And its freaking FAST!!! Its mind blowing the difference between the Force .26 and the OS .30vg. It actually WHEELIED!!! Granted its got a center diff so it should be impossible really, but it hit a small pebel and the front end lifted and it rode on the back wheels and wing!

Well I'll be there but the buggy is down. Center diff locked up this afternoon. It split a spider gear and had a pretty good notch in the diff cup from the cross pins. I don't have any spare diff cups at the moment and don't have the cash to pick one up. The GT is getting some changes. Going back to the 2 speed with the optional gearing but I'm waiting on new spur gears for that.. soooo.. all I have is the RC18t.
I'll be at the bash earlier since the RC18 will fit in the car no problem with the amp and guitar in there.

Today was a slow day, not alot of people. And most of us there had broken cars. :joy:
Of the Day Tim was the star as he jumped the buggy many times. Rob showed up but ended up with a stripped gear in the Revo (stupid plastic gear crap).
But Tim was enjoying with joys of Flight with an 1/8th scale buggy. I was moping with a no compression OS .30vg that still could power the buggy faster than the Force .26 could go even with no compression and shutting down at 190 to 200* as compression was completely lost..
But there they be. Some sweet head-on pics, and Tim even tried to nail me with the buggy! I'll post that video later. mash: J/K, I was standing right in front of the ramp for head on pics so I would have deserved it had i gotten hit.

Sorry Bill!
I haven't earned my pilot buggy wings like You and John yet!
I'm not a tree stalker yet!
I kept getting out of control before I hit the ramp.
No damage on it though!!!!!!!
I didn't break anything yesterday!:joy:
Not use to such touchy steering yet.:o:
The 1/8 Monster trucks drive quite different than these do and these accelerate alot quicker!
Somebody buy Thirdgen's stuff!!!!! He needs to fix his Jammin'

Well, thanks to the weather it looks like we won't be making it out there. Rain doesn't look like its going to let up. Calling for constant form of rain all day long.
Today is a day of rest and fixing.
