Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Going To need to do this in the upcoming months

 

Nice! Make sure to hammer down your pinch welds as well

 

And then silicone the fuck out of them.

 

Oh, @Gply this pic just reminded me. @Bentrodder said he has an offer you can't refuse for those Toyos

 

I'm listening

 

OTPHJs aren't that hard to refuse sometimes...

 

I recently sold my 5 RC cars and 5 bens full of extra parts to a buddy at work. After 15yrs of playing and spending a TON of $ I find myself back in the garage wrench on my sons car. I thought I was done with these money pits

BTW @BudMan thanks again for the beers

 

Ughhh, I was debating buying a nitro RC car but figured Ive already got enough money sinks. haha

 

This. lol

Just buy something expensive.. it will deter you from wanting to buy anything for a while.... ask me how I know.

 

Dude they are hella fun but unfortunately it became not enough for me real quick. My first one was a rc-10gt. I paid $370 for it and before I knew it I had 1500 into. It just snow balled from there. I probably had 5k invested in my 5 cars

Edit: did I mention the hours upon hours rebuilding motors, tranny's, shocks

 

My buddy had one in high school and it was a blast. That thing easily did like 50mph.

 

Haha yeah, got to buy tires!

 

I cut the pinch welf every six inches or so then used these
And A BFH. I used the flat jawed locking pliers to get the bend started. If you want to use them @DannyBFresco, you're more then welcome to. Just like everyone said be very liberal with the sealant. Sandwich the sealant and put it on top

 

I have been into RC since I was 10 years old. Done it all from flying to racing to competetion rock crawling. Still have to many cars, trucks and planes. I can't even imagine how many tens of thousands of dollars I have had wrapped up into it over the years.

 

And thats why Im not buying one... between my truck, guns and girlfriend ive got plenty Im spending money on lately
