    RCNT Winter Bash '04

    damn JR that sucks about the airport. Where are missing parts right now? Were you able to take them back to your house or do you have to collect them at the airport?

    RCNT Winter Bash '04

    Have fun at your bash guys. It's a shame that it wasn't possible for me to come out this time around. Some track time right about now would be awsome. The winter is sucky dry spell... another 4ish months I keep saying to myself. Have Fun :D

    Do You Really Need a Kanai or $800 Buggy to Win?

    Humboldt, Other than your first sentance and the last one, that was really well put together well and worth the trouble to take you off the ignore list. I can't agree with you more. I make no claims to knowing anything about buggy racing. Next season, that's all going to change. I've...

    Do You Really Need a Kanai or $800 Buggy to Win?

    Right there is one guy I wish I could put no my ignore list. This here is good bit of bullshit: Eddy you obviously don't even read the buggy threads. The Lightning Pro is not on the same level as the mbx5 and the k2's and k3's. I think Jeff put it best when he said "it's a slightly...

    Winter engine temps?

    Man, now I need a new body, new tires, new gas tank and not to mention I caught the oven on fire cause the nitro i left in the tank caught fire. Good advice man.... :angry: SIKE!

    engine choice

    I too have an 8-port Race. I got mine with a pull start (Ho Bao makes it). I got the Ho Bao instructions. I followed them like an idiot without checking the OFNA 8-port break-in instructions. My instructions did not include the heat cycle. I also didn't know about putting you piston BDC...

    Do You Really Need a Kanai or $800 Buggy to Win?

    I hope everyone realizes this is his motivation. "It's not entertaining enough to just talk about RC. That boring. So lets start poop and flame one another. That's a poop load of fun!" There must be a more friendly way to have fun. I'm putting him back on ignore...

    Do You Really Need a Kanai or $800 Buggy to Win?

    EnginemoddinRob... that's funny poop. Let me point out that HB doesn't have any Lightning Pro buggys at his track. He doesn't know what the fiddlesticks he's talking about and his BS comes only out of his ignorance and pride. He'll never change and no one here will correct him. The simple...

    Winter engine temps?

    That's actually really good information. You won't get much better of an answer than what you know. I was running my buggy in 30 degree temps in the fall. I had to retune it for the cold temps and once I did, it was running 190's or so. The only thing that concerns me is that the engine...

    Uh-oh.... starter box problems?

    yeah I think you hosed it. I've read on this forum that the single motor high torque boxes turn those high compression engines over better than the motor setups. I believe it was one of the Dynamite boxes that someone recommended. I own the mugen 1/8th scale box. It works pretty good but...

    "New" buggy from Hot Bodies

    yeah, i guessed that. That price thing changes the closer it gets to release. I think it's a kit, but it has an engine pictured. If it's a kit and priced well, I may pick one up. sucks that it's still purple. :puke:

    EBMods .26 Takes 2nd place at Dirt Oval Nationals

    I will let you know what happens. Around these parts, the RC tracks are covered with snow. This new engine is going to be my baby so it won't see nitro until it warms up outside. Also, I can't say that I'm an expert at this. Nine months later and I still feel like a newie in the Nitro RC...

    "New" buggy from Hot Bodies

    EBMods .26 Takes 2nd place at Dirt Oval Nationals

    Eddy, I think that's a valid concern. This is the Internet and just about anything can be spoofed and changed. Ed himself has no time or motivation go around pretending to be other people. He's a straight forward honest guy. Anyone that knows him will tell you that. If you really want the...

    EBMods .26 Takes 2nd place at Dirt Oval Nationals

    My bad. I should have scribed to my own thread. LOL sorry I was up at the shop on Saturday. I asked your questions. 1.) He still goes Picco .26 and Wasp .26 engines. He does not recall talking to "nitroboy". I think it was a misunderstanding or something 2.) He only works on new or...

    Newbie needs advice on purchase

    From reading your post, you might be looking at the wrong hobby. The Nitro RC Car and Truck hobby goes something like this: run it... break it... fix it... run it... break it... fix it... run it... Also, tuning the engine is a pain in the butt. You'll have to do this after break in and...

    ASCI Codes

    you forgot a closing "}" bracket on your void main() :hehe:

    Pilot shaft?

    The only difference is the shaft itself. The threads are the same. You can use an adapter if your RC requires a pilot shaft and your engine doesn't have one. If you engine has a pilot shaft and it doesn't fit on your RC because of the unneed shaft, some people are known to cut the pilot part...

    Nos????

    The JagRC RC NOS system hasn't shipped yet. They are supposed to be shipping this month. I don't know if anyone here has ordered one, but I'm tempted to fiddle with it. Anyway, it's hard to compare a product that hasn't shipped yet. :D

    How much do you spend on RC on-line???

    I like to use my LHS whenever possible. On big items, it really erks me to pay $20-$30 on sales tax. Buying online w/ shipping is sometimes better than paying the retail price + tax. Sometimes, it just a matter of availability. If the LHS doesn't have it, they have to order it. I have to...
