I’m going to pick mine up around 4:30. I think I’m just going to pick up the charger and battery there. Maybe they will cut me a deal if I buy it all at once. There goes another $500 on a Christmas present for myself… ---

I was actually on there last night trying to figure out where I was going to start with the upgrades and if there was a particular order in which they should be applied. I found alot of good stuff, but I need to pick mine up and see what it has and what it will need. Maybe you can give me some input on what to look for? ---

> [@bobbyg1243](#): > > I bought the brushless, is that different than the RTR motor? If you got the RTR brushless kit (i did at first) it comes with a Reedy brushless motor. Mine burned out the first week, I guess its a common problem on the RTR kits, so I just upgraded the motor and esc right away. ---

I’ll be out tomorrow night practicing at Glenwood if anyone wants to help me out. I’m new to all this and I have no idea what I’m doing. I still can’t figure out all the battery charge/discharge features and how to do it. Also there is a ton of controls on the controller itself that I have no idea what they do. ---

So I spent the night watching football, having a few drinks and working on this for a while: ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/2010-12-13_20-22-55_573.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/2010-12-13_20-22-55_573.jpg) ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/2010-12-13_20-25-53_68.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/2010-12-13_20-25-53_68.jpg) ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/2010-12-13_20-23-25_668.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/2010-12-13_20-23-25_668.jpg) I was working on installing the camera that I use for my helmet cam for snowboarding and mountain biking. Most of the time was spent fixing the bracket for the camera since I broke it when I took a spill on the bike. ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/2010-12-13_23-16-03_400.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/2010-12-13_23-16-03_400.jpg) ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/2010-12-13_23-13-22_212.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/2010-12-13_23-13-22_212.jpg) My temporary mount: ![http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/2010-12-13_23-12-54_354.jpg](http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c204/bobbyg1243/2010-12-13_23-12-54_354.jpg) I’m going to finish everything tomorrow before I head out to test it for the first time.
