What are these screw holes for ?????

[cbreaker]

i fell ya man I'm just above you in MA it sucks here its supposed to be in the teens tonight and we just had a recent snow storm like 2 or 3 days ago that i have to freaking wait to melt to bash again

Yea, the snow trash ruined the weekend. There's not a lot of it left but it's just so damned cold. I mean, sure, they run fine in the cold but I'm tired of shivering! And the ground is still really wet, those three hour cleanups after every single run get old.

Where in Massachusetts are you? I've been looking for tracks in the area, the only one I know of is in Taunton at the Silver City Galleria.

Markallen: I wouldn't want to sell either, thanks for the inquiry. I have a brand new kit in storage that I have been saving for a rainy day. It will be one of those "This was my first monster truck" kind of things. I think I saw them for sell on RCUniverse.com at one of their vendors.

GilBeQuick: Running in sand is like running any where else, just make sure things are ready for it. I didn't have any problems with additional wear of anything, although I didn't have days in the sand. I have my aircleaner secured very well so no worries there. I also shoe goo my bulkheads to the chasis to help keep dirt out. Another thing to try is balloons around your universals where the dog bone goes into the cup.
I know people say that it can be very abrasive, but I think it is less damaging than jumping your car or truck fifty feet and twenty feet high. I see and hear some people doing things that look real cool, but just about destroy their vehicle every time it is done. I don't mind doing a few jumps at the track, but I won't try to jump a road or a house.

That is pretty damn cool. I would have never guessed. Anyone make mud flaps?

LOL! Funny you should ask, as a matter of fact they do make mud flaps!

Now before everyone attacks me with "What the He11", they're a little different than some would emagine!

I have to go through some pics. to find them, but I will post them so everyone can see what they look like!

Roadrash13, did you just use a flat piece? Or did you try to bend it at all so that it "dumps" the crud out of the wheel? I think I'm going to make a set of these

You know I thought about that, but flat seems to work just fine as the wheel spinning apears to through pretty much all the debris out fo the wheel anyway! If it can't stick, it doesn't hang in there long..

I'm having probs. with my camera right at this moment, but as soon as I get it figured out I'll toss some pics. up here!
