Ok....

So I googled the address from RC Hobbies site. It says that it is a little south of ogden ave, and a couple blocks south of the naperville HT.

Correct? I thought it was north of there.

Matt,
Just take RT 59 NORTH from the Naperville Hobbytown.....then look for WENDY's on your RIGHT about 2 miles down. Turn into the Wendy's and it is behind it.

Josh, thanks for the tip about the Wendy's. That will be my landmark, so it better be there

Few miles, just look for the Wendy's.


did you hear that they are going to start showing porno movies at the gas pumps
so you can see someone else getting screwed at the same time
I went into the gas station today and asked for
five dollars worth of gas......The clerk farted and gave me a receipt.

Should be a GREAT day.....good comp location....hopefully no broken trucks......Wendy's Spicy BACONATTOR to start the afternoon. ROCK ON!!!

Matt, I should be there by Noon (leaving the house at 11:15).....that should be enough time to get that radio set up before everything starts.

man, I was working on this thing till 2:45am this morning. Everything "should" be good to go. I'm a little worried about my battery pack. Anyone ever tried soldering a pack together with a 60watt iron lol. It dosen't work too well. I ended up heating the tip with a propane torch and trying to work very quickly lol. What a mess. 4 hours to assemble a pack geesh. Time to call cheapbatterypacks.com. Hopefully I didn't destroy a 55.00 pack lol I charged it up and it said it had 9.880 volts so I'm guess ing I didn't destroy any batteries lol
I'm gonna be pissed if this thing breaks on the first rock lol

woohoo. Thanks for a great time guys. (even though I broke) Hopefully I can do this again soon. Now I know all my weak points lol

First let me say that I completely forgot that I brought my camera until it was too late. Then I broke so my share of pics is minimal but here they are. Hopefully next time I can get some more of everybody. Sorry guys.








Mx kevin actually pulled outta this twist up lol

Jeff (jetboat) sorry about ragging on your rig all day lol... At least you finished!!!

Kevin...good job dude.

Javier... Nice job bud. Glad to see that jeep working well for you. What broke on the rear axle after the comp?

Awesome day.

Horrible quote from today, way overused lol
