finally broke it good.

[hatethmpr]

so as the title says. i or i should say we broke it pretty good this weekend. tore the right side lower arm off near the bulkhead. snapped one side right around the bolt. the rear broke futher out on the arm.
also bent the tie rod arm. but i think i can have it back up and running tomorrow thanks to Chase60. sent along an extra set of rpm arms with the 3908 i bought off him. ill get pics up later this week.

[minirevobasher]

You broke the rpm arms?

[hatethmpr]

dear lord no. just the stock black arm. i have a replacement arm for one side. upper and lower rpm. have to take all of this upgrading slow. the gf thinks all my spare time is involved around my rc truck and not my kids.

Get used to it buddy, my gf hates my hobby, but of course they always learn to live with it, seeing as my kitchen table is a workbench 95% of the time.

[hatethmpr]

yeah. we dont have our own place. but when we do. i wont be in the kitchen with it. ill be in the garage. and im hoping that her son (another dad) will get into the sport too. but when it comes time for my baby girl to get into it. she will like it. shes already more like me that her mom.
on another note it looks like it may be trutrack time for the rear very soon. along with getting the front done with rpm arms.

[rc guy14]

might aswell throw some true tracks on their, and if i had a garage i would use it =p

[bazookamaxx]

I have a garage, I find its useful to store stuff in and park your car, but nothing beats the coffee table covered in rc parts while enjoying the air conditioner and watching tv as your lady hisses at you

[PowerToTheMaxx]

Basement works good, don’t need to AC it because it’s cooler than everything else, and it has a TV and a stereo and it’s buried so the neighbors don’t complain about the Metallica and Nirvana, and it doesn’t interfere with the social life.

[bazookamaxx]

ok im getting a basement, time to start packing again, tired of people complaining about for whom the bell tolls at 3am

[PowerToTheMaxx]

I play Electric Bass, so not only is there the music but the rattiling windows and bass vibration.

[hatethmpr]

when i do get a house i think i may have 2 work areas... i work on my own vehicles also. plus getting the family's asking about fixing this or that on their cars. but i like the idea of ac and the loud music.

[minirevobasher]

Hahahahahahaha. I got the true track, and it works well. Im picking up my rpm arms thursday and another shock tower. The true track is a must have. No more toe links(i broke mine, thats why i got true track). Do you got the 3906?03?05?

[PowerToTheMaxx]

When my GPa lived in Pontiac he had a window AC installed in his garage so he could work on his full size cars, and their next door neighbor didnt have AC in his house so all summmer their neighbor would sit in his bed with the window open, with the sweat dripping off his nose and listen to my GPA's window AC run.

[hatethmpr]

thought about that too. but if its not insulated and sealed well it wont work. plus i think i need a massive garage. i already have a s10 blazer to fix for my step son. but i know that i will be receiving a 2nd gen mr2. so im going to need a place to store them.

but i also have a couple of pictures to get on here. [IMG][/IMG]

yes that is a delorean storage shelf...

[minirevobasher]

Lol. You have all the parts to fix it?

[hatethmpr]

other than the glue yes. it may not be pretty. but i have them.

[hatethmpr]

also have some bashing shots before it broke.
[IMG][/IMG]little man running it.

[minirevobasher]

I got a perfect bashing jump with a perfect landing. Ill sow pictures tomorrow

[Wolfslash16]

Wow.... Back up a sec there, did you say DELOREAN storage shelf?!? The stainless steal car, like in the movie Back to the Future?!? If so, lets so some pics of the baby UNCOVERED!!!!

[minirevobasher]

Put a 2.4 on that bad boy

[hatethmpr]

yes, yes, and ill upload some later dont have them with me. they are at home. but yes i do have pics of it uncovered.
and the pics of us jumping were just down at a family gathering. and if i can find a 2.4 rx like the one i have in my 3908. ill use that for both trucks till i can get another tx to hook to this.

[minirevobasher]

The tqi can control up to 20 cars. Or there is a cheap one off of hobby partz for $40 and it controls up to 20 also.

[hatethmpr]

gotta clear the spending with the other half.

[minirevobasher]

[PowerToTheMaxx]

Haha. Good thing i dont have a girlfriend, and im not old enough to get married.

[hatethmpr]

mini, im almost 30. so as we save for a house, i have to consider the spending i do.

but on a new note, my steering seems to be a bit off with the new lower arm and toe link. doesnt want to turn all the way to one side. but i also broke one of the sides of the front bulkhead and cracked the other. now i know integy makes some crap parts but i have the 3908 with the bulkheads in it. i was thinking i could pull those. i dont really want to part this truck out to keep my 3905 running for both me and my stepson. so is there a decent bulkhead to buy that wont tweak or break easy? could you guys point me in the right direction?

Maxx, i have my daily driver of a 97 grand prix. my s10 blazer that is in pieces. the girlfriend and her family have the odd assortment. 99 bravada, 99 jeep grand cherokee, 01 ram full size, the delorean.
my family has a 58 mercedes 240d? a 64 skylark, plus the daily drivers.
my uncle has some more interesting cars, 91 mr2, 01 transam firebird pacecar from iroc, 69 beetle, 84 volvo, 60 something 190d, and a 69 skylark convertible, and a 97 chevy 1500.

I believe you can find aluminum front bulkheads and rear ones on ebay for a total price of $50 shipped. I think acncm is the name.
Cars: I have a 99 honda accord and a 90 toyota 4x4 LOL
My parents have: 11 gmc 1500 denali SO AWESOME (my dads)
my mom has a 08 nissan 3.5se maxima(hauls balls)
Im jeoulous.

[hatethmpr]

mini, the accord should rip too.
i think i need to look into rpm and see if they have anything. even at work i have a lhs less then 5 min from me. which is super nice. and they carry some of the parts.

Cool. My lhs has NO Emaxx parts.

[PowerToTheMaxx]

MY LHS has some parts but never the ones I need.

We have a '83 Porsche 944, '73 Olds Delta 88 Royall Convertible (dual chrome half-pipe exhaust, glass packs, chrome spoke wheels, and now a cracked exhaust manifold ), '06 Chrysler Pacifica touring and a '04 Malibu classic

Ya same here. My LHS has random crap that rarely ever breaks for the emaxx. I have actually never seen a emaxx in my LHS before.

[hatethmpr]

Power, seems like you have some fun toys there.

went to the lhs on lunch. dont have a bulkhead... but they can get it by friday. thinking about doing it. or just putting the dual titans in the 3980 and running the 2.4 but i have to explain to the girlfriend that i bought it without her knowing.... thats not gonna be good.

Yup, although I aint got nothin on my cousin, hes got a 69 and a 74 Camero, a '04 Hummer H2 and a Blazer, plus a Tmaxx 2.5 and a Slayer 4x4 3.3

Life sucks cause to get the manifold off the olds, you have to take the head off. That engine has never been takin apart. Im not sure its the orrigional engine either. Its a 350, but the car has dual exaust, and that was only an option on the 455, but the exaust is aftermarket. Somewere in my basement i have all the papers, but they could take a while to find...

is that a 350 rocket engine? the motor says somewhere on it 350R. and do you have to pull the head or can you pull the inner fender? would taht work better?

and i didnt order a new bulk yet. and when i do i think im just going to go to stock plastic. i dont want to push for anythign else to break with a 7 year old driving it too.

i see. I think im just going to get a couple of stock spares since i dont seem to brake any and literally all i do is set up my jump in my backyard and jump. I dont understand how people brake these so easily. Do you have the 3905 model?
