I am have been working on a new body for a while, a replica of the pu$$y wagon from Kill Bill 1. still looking for a decent set of wheels to match and the body style is a little off but close enough i guess.

there's a couple of indoor tracks around town,
they have exhaust fans & only let the nitro's run a couple days a week.
really LOUD. earplugs recommended
i also go to a old farmers barn out in bfe.
he keeps his livestock in one side & lets us race on the other.
really tight track,
they race bmx on saturday's & r/c's on sundays.
really large , you can haul ass.

I've been to an indoor gocart racetrack, called "slick-cart racetrack" or somthing, had a slick cement floor which allowed you to drift around the turns...it was way fun. They just had a bunch of vents and fans on all the time and it was fine, smelled unusual when behind someone though, i bet they used fuel scent to cover up the bad smell of exauts, because it was kinda appealing but seemed like you'd get knocked out if you breathed it in long enough.....hehe
just gotta have a breeze and you'll be fine, which means big fans....big holes in the wall...etc...

Well I was going to bid on the complete RS4 rally on ebay, but my girl went and bought me a brand new one! She's the greatest! I guess they weren't as hard to find as I thought they would be. I'm almost done assembling it, but I'm having trouble putting in 2 of the spring pins for the hubs. Does anyone have any tips to getting them in?

Joey, when I go back to houston in a couple weeks I'm gonna grab my savage. So on my way back to Greenville maybe we can run them when I come through there.

We'll run them. I'll put you to shame with the brushless truck too. Maybe we can both put my neighbor's E-Maxx to shame.

Hey guys....I've been wanting to get into r/c's for a while and have been looking around,...i'm still a noob but is they pretty much everything I need to get started?

I know I'll need nitro and batteries and little odds and ends.....the fuel filler and such...and other then that...that web page is for the R/C truck built and assembled & the radio controller correct?

Hey what's up guys! I'm back from the dead That is, if anyone even noticed I was gone... I was trying to avoid this forum so that I wouldn't spend any more money on my truck Well, I was bored, so I dropped by again, and was surprised to see that this thread is still alive! Since everyone loves pictures, here's a pic of what my R/C car looks like right now. I've tried to stop spending money on that too, but parts always break Can you tell I have monster truck envy? Yeah, it's not a Toyota, but toyota bodies are impossible to find.
