First runs this year

[Mick Mars]

Weather finally good, got some runtime on couple trucks !!! Got the MOD body on the 5t 2.0, really like it.Missed the full body with the 30 degree north body , witch was still good after 3 years just showing signs of age, kinda like me......62 soon.....Old faithful 5t poped on 3rd pull with choke on, opened choke first pull fired up , never fails to amaze me. Last year filled tank with my gas brew and some Stabil as always. Sat 5 months.... Both raminators same procedures. Raminator no.2 ,stock motor, bartalone pipe took some yanking to fire . Had to put fresh plug in it but it ran great also. Other than idle speed, I don't recall ever touching mixture screws on either truck. Going to try the adjustable carb I bought last year sometime on it this season. Dbxle 2.0 still tearing up the yard but needs new batteries, still thinking about letting it go......cheap... Close to 2500,oo dollars in it but just not happy with run times. Tomorrow going to be Joker raminator day, Taylor's 50 will probably fire easily like last 2 years and proceed to make my heart beat and wallet empty. Hope everyone has a good holiday and enjoy the summer!!!!

Shad0man, good to hear from you, FG Paul also. Just putting the dbxl-e 2.0 situation to rest, found a hobby shop, Browns hobby shop in Ohio, about an hours drive that was willing to trade or buy it. They have a great 1/ 10 scale track and indoor carpet setup.Very nice gentleman, Jeff is owner, gave me the grand tour!!!. Not huge shop but more than adequate. Mostly 1/10 scale, traxxas, but again worth stopping in for a visit. They are on Facebook and racing weekly. Anyway buggy is gone, got a fair price that will go into the next adventure!!!!
