It's expensive alright ??

Said by the king of expens ?.
doesn't take long to dump a pile into one of these rigs! I stopped keeping track long ago. "Upgrading" is half the fun.

Oh it's bout to even crazier (expense wise) for me ???

Me too. If you look expenses, then everything seems like a waste and it ruins the fun. So don't get caught up In that stuff and send it ??

 

[DougStar]

Need cash to bash?????

 

[Striikar]

I received a nice little box today

 

[Striikar]

Postlady,brought me parts to get front suspension mocked up.
Also a bunch of parts I can't use.

2: sets / Elcon Rear upper wishbone set - hpi baja - PN#EM80507

1: Full front hydraulic brake setup. Cheap,cheap version.
Think AreaRC or something similar.

Was thinking of moving parts to comp/ Evo chassis but like the way the sportsline is coming out.
Thinking it's better for parking lots and such..

Things to do:
Drill holes for,alloy receiver plate,front brake reservoir/post,gas tank.
Mount throttle bracket.
Need to build & put in alloy rear suspension.
Thinking of switching in obr_29.5 instead of using in 465mm chassis?.

Are those alloy knockoff carb insulators worth it?. I've heard they work very well.
( RB Innovations Carburetor Heat Insulator Block w/ Diaphragm Filter).
$18-20 vs $50
I know I'm forgetting a lot but,some progress is being made- albeit slowly.

Grandpa was a smoker all his life and died around 70 or something cuz of lung cancer when before he was healthy and fit (ish). You are right!

I'm VERY BROKEN!!.
The last 20 hrs,I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. I took up the hobby to have something else to try to focus on. You'd be stunned the amount of health issues I have unfortunately.
I do appreciate you guys a lot as you keep giving me ammo to make fun of You all.?
It makes me feel alot better.?

Z,I wasn't a smoker but growing up in the 80's,you got a ton of second hand smoke. Thank goodness that's NOT one of my health issues.
