Thanks.. i called. . Mine not in yet. ..

Btw: traffic sucks...

 

Goin there tomorrow for sum parts for my emaxx. Nate thinks he can take me lol!

 

could u tell me how much paint costs when u guys go?

 

Should be about $4-5 a can.

 

I know I can

I just went today and didn't even look at the prices. But usually about $6 a can. If you doing 1 color then get 2 cans. And if you do a light color like silver, yellow, or a metallic then get a can of white to put on last.

 

My co worker brought it couple times. The pork just melts in your mouth and the egg is a winner. After u eat that gotta take an afternoon nap.

 

sweet i need to go get some... oh and how do you guys cut the finders and stuff on these bodies... i suck with scissors when it comes to small stuff like that...

 

There are lexan scissors, and a body reamer in a set that you can get from hobbietatt. takes some time and practice, just cut less than needed then do a final cut. You can always cut more, but cannot replace once its cut!

 

Almost got a rat rod body the other day

 

Brandon - Where did you get your LCAs from?? I ran into a tree earlier and broke mine...

 

Trcc has rpm. I just saw stock at hobbitat

 

Went down to Hobbytat today. Very knowledgable people who explain... (not like that unhappy guy at the other place).

Got a whole lesson about batteries and such, bought a 2c Lipo from them as well as a Onyx Balance Charger. The battery was pretty much retail (or close), and the charger I could have gotten off Amazon for 10-15 less, but I didn't mind giving them the business cause the took their time to explain things out to me.

I did respectfully ask if they would match the price on a Stampede ($25-$30 less on Amazon or Tower hobby) but they nicely said no, and that their prices are pretty much tower hobby plus shipping. Only thing is that Tower Hobby has free shipping.. If they would have come down, I would have had a hard time not picking one up.. I may just wait till the Colorado trip and send one over there for us to play with.

Came home to run to the park with my son and my nephew.. Showing him how at first, I do this..


lol... Now need to run to TRCC tomorrow to pickup some LCAs and get them installed so we can play on Saturday.. They whole reason why I wanted another battery in the first place..

 

I keep a few spares for a good resson

 

If trcc doesn't have something in stock. you can Special order it. Special orders are 25% off i think they told me. If you order it before Tuesday it'll be there by Friday.

 

Now kids, let uncle show you what not to do..

You haven't broken an RPM arm yet, have you?

They have a lifetime warranty yeah?

 

Ones almost tore up. Broke stock fronts first day. By the time I send the to rpm, I'd already get another set. Not like they're expensive. Rpm is worth every cent

 

People say boiling the stock parts will make them more flexible, and less prone to snapping.
But I'd rather get RPM anyway.

 

My truck





Extra parts are always good

 

Nice!!!!

 

Very nice!
Those are great wheels and tires too. Heavy, but wide and stable.
