Will be there on the 2nd. Just finished the paint today on the new AX10. Turned out pretty sweet for my first trim and paint.

Just a reminder about the meeting,
This Saturday 1pm hobbytown in Naperville

I am going to try to get there early so I can setup chairs/tables and do some remodeling on the course. For those of you I dont know, it will be good to meet you, for those that I know it will be good to see you again. Think of things that you would like to have brought up for discussion and bring your trucks to work on/ get tips on.

Hey Jetboat (or whomever this may concern)

Any idea how long the informational part will last on Saturday?
My dousche boss scheduled me for a 4-7 shift Saturday. I would have to be out of the HT by 3:15 at the latest...

Thanks
Matt

The meeting/bashing yesterday was GREAT!! I am so new to the hobby that I really needed to see/experience a course and other trucks. I also thank the guys that explained the different DIG setups and suspension designs. The conversations were very helpful.

That all being said, I ordered a RC4WD R2D, servo mounts, and bent links. From the looks of things, that is the next logical progression. I look forward to the next comp to try it all out....that is as long as all the parts arrive in time.

Everybody that has not joined as of yet, do so. This is a good group of people that are very informative. The initial plans are very nice, and the locations are very accomodating and well thought out. I look forward to the next event.

I had to watch the kids all day while the wife worked. I wanted to go. We need like a newsletter or something so those of us that can't come all the time know the rules etc. Just an option.

Do you need to come to all of the outings? I really don't think I'm ready to compete yet as I haven't even got the truck yet lol. Plus I would think I need to hear the rules. I'm definatly gonna try and get out to watch and observe though!

You dont have to make it to all of the meetings/outings but you need to try to make to as many as you can (at least some meetings)
