i would be down for a day trip considering ill have my little ones.
what do they want for the conversion? choas wanted like 450...thank god i got the hook up!!
get one matt..they are super fun and close to scale. races are every third friday night and sunday... its racing i can actually afford lol

 

where's the RC track? at the airport?

the reason i havent picked up the conversion is beacuse solo wants $800 for it... i know, rip off. but it also includes heim steering conversion, but i already have that. the solo kit uses 7/8 heims which is what i have now, so i need to call up solo and see how much it would be for the uniballs and adapter piece they fab up... still prob going to be $400-ish...

you can see the conversion piece in their ad here... feel like taking on a small fab project?

ya by the airport in cam. damn solo thats crazy!! ya man i could have the machine shop i use cut the plates.. i get discounts on fk uniballs too. fairly straight foreword.... shit just have him cut a bunch and we can start selling em hahha

 

haha, i'm sure solo wont mind

i'm at the airport almost every week at least once or twice... i'm getting back into BMX and might start racing again...

i'll text ya about pismo to find a spot to meet up in v-town and a time

 

sounds good

 

for you Matt!! maybe that will help the decision haha

 

sorry guys im bored....one of my scrap metal pieces

 

Dude I used to race there years ago! I used to do the dirt oval truck and off-road track races...but many years since. Some people got some crazy (expensive) pits, but they helped me get my stuff goin then...I remember my first race I was all over the track running people off, I was havin fun and everyone was so pissed! some serious racers out there, you learn the curve haha....

 

submarine man haven't seen you in a while jk haha... ya there are some crazy pits out there...best part is beating those guys while im working off my tailgate...its one of only kinds of races that can be won on a minimal budget...and demo derby too i guess. driver skill will prevail.. not fun getting beat by someone just because they have a bigger budget. speaking of demo derby...its tomorrow night ..anyone going??

 

Hey Bfoster how you like your Goodyear MTR Kevlars? I like the non-symettric tread look plus looks lil more agressive than A/T. It doesnt seem as agressive as some M/Ts tho, like in between...

How is your mileage difference/driving from stock so far?

 

i gotta say man, i dunno if im gonna ever choose another tire, dont know how many miles ill get out of them though. i feel my milage is about the same, there not much bigger than my stockers, maybe 1-2mpg because of the tread, not loud on the road, handle good, but offroad OMFG (100% necessary) they are amazing except sand. sand they suck in. in the dirt i dont think ive seen a better traction-ing tire and in the mud too there really good

 

Hah nice ...i like the necessity...sounds good. Sucks theyre not good in sand. I might have to consider having two sets one day lol..

I hope to hit pismo (sand) up few times a year hopefully so maybe ill stick with the bfg A/T. Plus I drive A LOT. I'm at 25k miles on my '11 already, i should try to stay away from MTs LOL....damn! I'm hoping the 285 jump won't mess with my plenty driving....

 

What about the Hankook Dynapro MT?

 

They seem alright, but shouldnt I stay away from MT's?

 

Damnit Brian, now I'm lookin at Hankooks too!..LOL...

The HK ATM(RF10) seems to do well against the bfg A/T, and its cheaper? Hm...

 

Lol , the AT look good to. But I might go with threadwright next, they has a bfg look alike and iheard a much of good reviews on them.

 

how about km2 tires???

 

cooper?

 

He doesn't want Mts cause he drive a lot.... by a lot I mean a lot lol right Eddy?

 

question... if i put spidertrax wheels spaces on the front along with ext travel COs would i have to get new fenders or would stock be fine? im running 265s if that makes any difference
