Good to here your all comin out I will have the cameras' rollin'. We need some good footage to make a few vids this weekend.
The more insane the better!
To bad we don't have a wooden picnic table close by that would make a huge ramp if some one had a sheet of 1/4 inch plywood.
Look out!
John , you might clear the tree completly.

I'm in the process of fixing the brakes on (2 )of the savages and Changing a few more parts to the .21 savage.wait till ya see this!

Well, the batmobile lives with a 4.5R velocity bl setup. Don't know how fast it goes cause it keeps spinning out as soon as i get passed half throttle no matter how slowly i roll into it it starts spinning out. It looks cool though.

have you checked the suspension? it sounds like your loosing traction and unloading on one wheel. if thats not it is there any way of adding more down force?

man i wish i could be there right now! but i need to rip my max trany apart and find out why it isn shift to second, heck i cant even find the adjust screw in the trany! and my hyper flung the rear diffs drive cup. so it will be a lil bit befor ethey are both rockin again. im also working a double today, but the OT should pay for all my parts and then some!

Thirdgen89GTA · (#129 (**permalink**))

There is no rear suspension, its like a pan car chassis, but extended. Not even a shock back there.

BTW, I had your DVD's out there today. You should come by and pick them up. ^_^

id would have loved to but.... im still at work! man over time is gonna look good on the next check!

is your chassis tweeked? try flipping the wheels to the opposite sides.

any pics, crazy crashes, sweet jumps..... from today?
who all showed up?

I broke my buggy... 3 times!! first time on a bad launch off the ramp the car went airborn sideways and ended up landing on the left front corner which broke the front arm and upper hinge pin... . I fixed it all in a 20 mins though. Then later hit the tree and when it came down it broke a rear suspension arm... fixed that too. then I lost a CB bearing which I fixed up as well. ended up going home still running. Got lots of video of my stupidness and 50+ foot jumps though.. lol!

Here is a sick vid of the buggy in action 50 ft. jump!!!!!!!!!!!!
We measured it 2- 25 ft tape measures and he almost hit the tree dead on!.

Well, its saturday again, and i'm looking forward to finishing break-in on my new OS .30vg for the Jammin buggy. I'm not really concerned because the closest I get to racing is an open practice at LH so I don't have to worry about any rules.

As far as other cars, I only thing I'll bring the Jato, not sure if I wanna lug the maxx out. I'd take the batmobile but its simply so low to the ground that it can't be driven with the little pebels out there.

rusty savage · (#136 (**permalink**))

sorry guys cant make it this weekend. i have to go to a chanel 11 meet and greet for my kid then my boss is bringing me and a few other guys to a sox game. get a vid for that 30 in the buggy!

SixVi6-Camaro · (#137 (**permalink**))

I'll be there later like around 2 or so. I got to pick up my Guitar and amp from my friends house in AH and drop it off at home then load up the Rc's and go.

Thirdgen89GTA · (#138 (**permalink**))

Is anyone up for ordering food again? Really hits the spot when you are there all day.

Also, the joys of break-in, got 3 tanks out of a glow plug before it fouled out and wouldn't run without the igniter on there.

2 more tanks and it'll be ready for tuning!

*edit: It LIVES!!! And its freaking FAST!!! Its mind blowing the difference between the Force .26 and the OS .30vg. It actually WHEELIED!!! Granted its got a center diff so it should be impossible really, but it hit a small pebel and the front end lifted and it rode on the back wheels and wing!

SixVi6-Camaro · (#139 (**permalink**))

Well I'll be there but the buggy is down. Center diff locked up this afternoon. It split a spider gear and had a pretty good notch in the diff cup from the cross pins. I don't have any spare diff cups at the moment and don't have the cash to pick one up. The GT is getting some changes. Going back to the 2 speed with the optional gearing but I'm waiting on new spur gears for that.. soooo.. all I have is the RC18t.

I'll be at the bash earlier since the RC18 will fit in the car no problem with the amp and guitar in there.

Great see ya all there today.

I won't be there Labor day weekend.

Going to see the owner of RCMX in Nebraska.

Thirdgen is going with us so he won't be out next week either.
But I will be back the follwing Sunday.
