[http://www.rcuniverse.com/magazine/article\_display.cfm?article\_id=423](http://www.rcuniverse.com/magazine/article_display.cfm?article_id=423)

Smashed it into a telephon pole off course my 1st time racing it. I landed the jump from several feet in the air, but failed to make the corner, jumped the pipe and nailed the pole with the head. Bent the chassis a little and bent the cooling fins on the head. Still ran fine after too:D

Nitro is fun.  
Not as clean and easy as electric but still fun and take more of a beating.

Nice,

I just bought like $40 of parts FML… lol, 2 glow plugs, new clutch shoes and springs(it was dragging on my RS4 MT) New Motor mount screws since they were stripped from the previous owner… Also broke the plastic carb arm from a rough landing earlier today, even though it was safe under the body(it was cold out, probably the cause)…ordered a metal one. Also a fuel filter since I just had to rebuild my carb on my RS4 MT. I am also awaiting 2 dogbones so the RS4 MT will be AWD again, should be better in the snow.

Wish list:

Tires for the RS4 MT - $40+  
Savage Flux Diff for the front of my savage since my new motor blew up the original. - $45.

Shit adds up even though most parts are less then $5.00

My friend is trying to get me to race there…  
He will even lend me one of his cars.  
Nerney will have to wait until after the new year though… It’s a PITA to try and have a hobby with 2 small kids I already  
do not get enough time with.
