Yeah, thats it. Except we bash in the first parking lot on the right. Its the most open with the least traffic. And when the snow and ice let up we have a huge field to bash in for ramps and stuff.

I'm considering going, but I may hit the Super Chevy Vette show in chicago on sunday. Don't know yet. If I don't then I'll be out.

Also... This spot is probably temporary because they closed the usual grove behind the hospital for the winter. When the season starts the grove with the boat launches linked to above is the busiest one and gets completely packed with traffic. Still too cold for my tastes so I won't be there.

Yeah, after it warms up and they open up our usual grove we'll be back at the original spot off Biesterfield rd near Alexian Bros. Hospital.

Its been transplanted into the truggy. Needs a 15th clutch bell though to really use it right, its got the 17th on it and I'd rather run the 15th with lighter springs. I need to pick those up soon.

In a few weeks I'll have the replacement 528xr for the buggy again. And I will start building my Brushless 1/8th rally car. Should be wicked when its done.

I had a blast Sunday. Here is a basic recap of the day....

I finally got her dialed in and actually learned how to tune the motor. I could have leaned it out more, but figured it was best to play it safe my first day out. I had her running consistantly at 210.

I was one of the few who didn't break a thing. I did land a jump flat and knocked the motor off a bit and had to reset the gear mesh and I lost a jesus clip on the rear end. That was minor compared to some of the others that were there.

Evoboy brought 5 truggies with him and left with only one still functional. Another guy with an RS4 crashed with a truggie and totaled his car beyond repair. The truggie was ok and another guy had a runaway and hit a curb head on...the front end was fine...it was the rear end that got messed up bad???????

All in all I got some serious air, had a couple cartwheel landings, but I did land a barrel roll when I hit the ramp wrong...I was amazed at that. I hope the guy with the camera got it on film. It was cool as hell. The highlight of the day was when Thirdgengta landed a jump with his LSP and rode a wheelie the entire length of the parking lot. All I could say was "Sweeeeet!"

I must say Sportwerks makes a durable buggy. I really abused the heck out of it today. I have new brakes and a tank on order and will be out again as soon as I have them installed. Very soon I will be taking it to the LHR and see how it does in a race setting...But I want my hyper 7 port first or maybe I'll go with a go tech 5 port (been hearing good things about those on RC Universe)...still thinking about it..

Oh yeah I almost forgot. After punting and empty gallon of O'donnels fuel with the buggy on accident(I forgot momentarily when the car is coming towards you right is left and left is right), we invented a new game. RC Bowling! Next week we are setting up the O'Donnels bottles like bowling pins and keeping score. I just don't want to be Pin Bitch.
