Sup guys, don't post much on this forum, but I gotta chime in on this one.

2. The guy who owned the truck that crashed. He ran his
truck knowing full well that there was no frequency system
in place.
Tech, I kinda see your point, but I'm gonna disagree as well.
I think there are two people mainly to blame for this one. And the owner of the truck is not one of them.
What if, that was one of us, let's say I turned on my truck first, watched the servos for movement, and it was all good. fired up the TX and started doing some warm-ups. Lined up for a race and BAM the fing thing is WOT on course for a wall. I know there was no frequency board, but I had a experience at Leisure hours once where someone turned on their radio in the pits and sent me Hyper 7 WOT into the wall at the end of the track. My point being, yes we all knew that there was no clips for frequency, but everyone there took a chance. Everything was fine until someones truck was severly damaged. By the way it looked, I'm guessing somewhere in the 400 dollar range. The same thing happened to Jim at the last MJ, we had to find his JT in the woods, cause someone decided....." UH I guess I'm the only one in the world that runs CH. 666"
Enough of my babbling, I hope this reply makes some sense.
Firesprink, glad to hear the hack job on the diff worked. !!!!!!!!
Congrats on the long jump
Tech, congrats on your jump.
And saved the best for last, Trip.........Good race.
I will get you one day. =)
