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. Tekno EB48.4 HobbyWing XR8 Sanwa M12

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.

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

I did manage to get the wifes Talon done, kept it pretty basic no dig or anything fancy....Now just have to get her to compete.

Hey , I just wanted to say that those guys running RC Hobbies are great guys. To take the space and time in their store shows their devotion to the hobby and their customers. My little one wanted one of those helicopters on a stick things that was $2 and he was going to give it to her, very nice but im trying to teach her things cost money. They made us feel very welcome. Allison had no problem driving the crawler through the store and possibly drove the owner nuts. We had a great time! Thanks.
