Eli is god, those who race know what I mean.

Yeah, he's been local to mean for years. It is a blessing.

1/8th gas, he's trying to suck me into changing.

I used to have an Xray T1 that was awsome on carpet. My carpet racing was short live though. Some people in the hobby are cry baby ********.

I've been having tons of fun at practice nights with my 1/12 scale Jammin, CRT.5 on 1/8th tracks. Truggys are fun as hell and now I want a full size one. I would race but I dont have any one that will pit for me. My son is still to young.

I have way too may RC's at the moment. I'm going to be selling my race prepped LST2, if anyone is intrested. I'm goint to let it go cheap. I'm asking $400 shipped with no reciever / x-mitter. I've dumped over $1300 all together into it but we all know this hobby is'nt an investment.

If any one is intrested PM me for pictures. The upgrade list is too long :P

Julio, thats a good find! I hade never seen that link before. I had a psrts list and an idea on how to do it, but a visual allways helps.
,
Dont get the HPi wheels. Proline makes a set of bead locks now that are bad *** and, by what I have read, you will go through al ot of tires untill you find the rite ones for your driving. Having a set of bead locks will help with that. Besides, glueing tires sucks!! Also Team Losi makes crawler tires now and they just won the Nats. They are supposed to be the altimate compound for crawling.

Check out this forim. Tons of info and every one seems very helpful.http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/

I still havent got mine because they were back orderd. I should be getting it some time next week though....hopefully. We'll have to get together and "crawl" some time.


[b]**EDIT** I just got an email conferming my delivery for Wed. of next week...**
