Why did you sell it? They are great bang for the buck as long as you don’t lose your head and start replacing everything.

Are we meeting at CrossGates again this Sunday?

I have been out for a while… work shifts changed, saved money and bought a new bike, and I am closing on my house on the 7th… so this weekend may or may not work for me… I really wont know untill sat or sunday morning. Who is down for sure… if there will be someone going, I will make a much better effort to show up! lol.

I have not messed with the on road set up since 2 weeks ago… It is a 4wd 10th nitro. It wont drive right. If you hold a steady turn it will swerve back and forth. It seems like one of the 3 diffs are loading and un loading loading and unloading. I took the belt off and ran rwd only and I coulnt even launch it straight… the rear dif just un loads. I think I need to take it a apart and add stiffer fluid to it.

I will bring my 1/8th scale thought, just gota throw a new glow plug in it and it will be good to go.
