I was running a Serpent 1/8 for awhile.  And ran 1/10 and 1/12 on carpet in the winters.

I'm no Stan.  That guy seems much smarter.  I'm just a retard who used to race a lot for the last 20 years that got shipped off to China so I can pay my bills.

By the way, you guys need to get that economy going again so I can come home soon.

I would say most crap built in China is absolute shit and will break in a week.  But with American or western quality control, the Chinese stuff can be quite good and cheap.  Would be interesting to see how Stan progresses.

Everything is installed and on.

My slash will now do wicked wheel stands whenever I pull the trigger (yeah, I know, loosen the slipper).

I have a 120A esc, Tacon 5000kv 7t and sky lipo 4000mah 20c batteries.

Motor is running around 160 deg with 19/90 gearing.

I need to change the gearing I just need to figure out what would be best for the track.

I ended up buying another truck this past weekend.  My friend sold me a savage with a .26 picco for a 100 bucks.  I couldn't pass it up.  The motor was broken in and he put two tanks through it then it sat for a couple of years.  I got it going but then the throttle servo crapped out.  So as I'm swapping servos I drop my RTR radio that I was going to use that came out of my SC10 and it broke so I ended up getting a new spectrum dx3 that I'm going to use in my race sc10 and my bash savage now.  I can't wait till the rain stops so I can try it out.  My first nitro RC and i'm hoping I don't blow it.

Good buy if the engine was stored properly. Good luck on tuning.

Here's what I did this week.

I am not responsible for the paint job. It looks like it was done with a brush and house paint.

I did manage to slick out the set of double d's on the back. I put the dirt hawgs from my nitro rustler on instead just so i could keep it going. New sets of calibers are otw.

They are doing a Short Course night race tonight at the track. I'm hoping I get to go, but not holding my breath.

I've moved up to the big boy group of  racers at the local track (which has been moved and rebuilt.)

I'm also in the process of adding a 1/8 buggy wing to my rustler for shits and giggles.

That track looks awesome!

 

I traveled to a differant track a little bit ago. Not sure if I should link to their website or not. I don't have any pictures but I had a great time. Best racing I have done all year.

They have installed air-lines and waterlines as well as several elctrical outlets around the track. We just finished those up today actually.

Still have a couple of light poles to put up, but after that we have a huge *edit Labor day raace. Bunch of named sponsors lots o loot I hope.

Alot of the guys at the track seem to play games as well. I had a car body somewhere with 2old2play.com on it a couple years ago. I should probably get a new body done up.
