Try not to make it so easy for us know-it-all blow hards...
ill try,harder,next time,to make it,not so easy,..........
See, we all have our short commings.
Punctuation isnt your strong point. Commas and periods work well in moderation.
See ya at the track bruce where we seem to tolerate each other just fine. Too bad online isnt the same way.

I did some checking. I was able to find a site where suspension components were available. I may just have to stock up on common parts that get broken, control arms, knuckles etc in case of breakage on raceday. Its seems a lot of components may be shared with the eb4. I really won't know for sure unless I actually start comparing part numbers, but it would be a hell of a lot easier just to put the two side by side and compare them.

OK I did a little checking...Apparently this was Thunder Tigers first 1/8 buggy and it was a copy of the Mugen athlete...so maybe Mugen parts might fit this thing too.

Hey G-force, did you go to LTHS?
New/old kid on the block. - Gforce - 01-15-2007
Nope I was a Fenwick Friar...class of '91
New/old kid on the block. - mikeh - 01-15-2007
Before my time. Class of '87. Ever visit Wiola Park?
New/old kid on the block. - Gforce - 01-15-2007
Can't say that I have. Where is it?
New/old kid on the block. - Gforce - 01-15-2007
Wait a minute...how can class of 91 be before your time if you were class of 87???
New/old kid on the block. - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 01-15-2007
lol i was wondering that too
New/old kid on the block. - mikeh - 01-16-2007
Opps, senior moment, I meant after my time. I lived and grew up in LaGrange. ANd I lived accross from Wiola Park in the vicinity of 47th and Brainard. I just dont meet too many new Lagrangers these days. But if you want to be in the LaGrange Pet Parade as a Lawn Ranger, let me know. Me and my brothers and friends march every year. Drinking heavily is not manditory, but highly encouraged.

Well I just recieved the car via UPS. It seems to be in good shape. HAs a
.21 motor on it. I won't know if its any good until I take things apart and check it out. Technically all I need now is a starter box, nitro and a glow plug igniter. I am gonna try to get the stuff needed by Sunday. Dunno if I'll be ready to race, but I am gonna try to get it up and running at least for a few practice runs around the track. I'll post pics up later.

I'm always shocked at how guys don't meticulously clean, inspect and prep their vehicles before selling them.

What are the screws on the wing for? And I hope the red dots everywhere aren't red thread lock or you're never getting those philips heads out. lol.
Oh and if it doesn't steer all that well, I'd bet it's because of that servo saver on the servo. Take it off and get a nice aluminum one ($6) and you'll be good to go.

Dunno if that red dots are trhread lock or not. They are not as visible to the naked eye. For some reason they pop in the flash of the camera.
New/old kid on the block. - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 01-18-2007

New/old kid on the block. - Gforce - 01-18-2007
