Beers and Buggies, again...

[Kim-n-Dean]

Gonna be smoking some Rib-eyes and tearing up the yard again this Saturday (8/30). Bring your cars and helis. Park flyers are okay, but you'll have to go to the park next to my house. Too many trees in my yard for planes.

I should have time to build a pretty decent ramp. Wish I could get the specs for the ramps Traxxas uses at their shows. They're the perfect angle for backflips. Kim wants to get some mini-boulders for rock crawlin'. Might have time to do that, too. She also wants to build a ramp to jump the creek between my house and the park. I don't know about that one, our trucks aren't waterproof. It would be fun to watch, though.

Let's party!!!

So bring my 4wd buggie and tear up your sod while I hold a cold Pabst Blue Ribbon? AWESOME!

[Kim-n-Dean]

Just built a pretty cool ramp. Curved and adjustable height. Gotta run out real quick, I'll post some pics when I get back.

[Kim-n-Dean]

Kim's elliptical blew up a few years ago, just finally getting around to throwing it away. I went out this morning to build a ramp and all those pieces on the elliptical started to talk to me. Here's what I cam up with. Completely adjustable, too. The chains hook onto the legs to set the height. Should be able to back-flip off of this...

[Kim-n-Dean]

Why? I have four-wheel-drive!!

[Bueller]

I cut mine short and it's like driving on carpet.
I am hoping this little rain goes away here soon, I want to go torment prairie dogs.

[konichd]

I have one of these, unfortunately not the best basher :(

[mdub]

Cool video.

Hahahaha I wish. I bounced better at that age when things went bad.

[Bueller]

There isn't a lot of "action" driving an RC, the adrenaline comes from being on the edge of destroying an expensive toy, such as a $400 heli in a tree. :lol:
Thought I escaped with only breaking the wheelie bar on the E Maxx until I looked closer at the nitro truck and found the two lower arms broken. Calling around and no one stocks those and there isn't any aftermarket shit for that truck yet. So now the Nitro stays home for vacation.

I thought we had our best jump session when the camera was on the side of the ramp. Did that footage not turn-out? You also shot some stuff from under the deck.

They're currently 15% off on parts. That's where we had to go yesterday for our parts (I don't think you're supposed to be jumping nitro trucks). Also, Fay Myers and Pep Boys carry Traxxas parts.

Have you tried this?

[mdub]

When I had a jato. I destroyed sooo many parts on that machine. Played with it for 3 yrs. sold it for 90 bucks. And it was not whole. Have the losi , but not too thrilled due to Ross system is not durable. Want to get the that revo next. After having both a traxxas and losi. I'll go back to traxxas..

[One-ops]

Colpar didn't have those ?

[Bueller]

Found them @ RC Hobbies, truck is whole again :)

I should check this section more often, I love RC bashing. I was way into these things for a while and had tons of cool cars. I had a Stampede, Rustler, Slash, Ruckus, and the Ken Block Rally car. I used to bash these things all the time. I was into helis for a while as well but they got too hard to fly and they crash pretty hard!

Have you guys ever gone to Wheel Park at Illiff and Chambers, they have a decent dirt RC track there, but I liked to mob on the skateboard park ramps with my Ruckus.

I want to hit the BMX track and skateboard ramp area, but they'd probably get pissed when we leave oil in our tracks. 2-stroke, ya know... I'll be going to check out the RC track,though. Sweet!!!!

[UHATEIT]

Yeah it's the one in the first picture, there is a full shaded tower to stand in, it is near the skateboard ramps and the roller hockey rinks on the south side of the park. It wasnt that well maintained when I was there I think due to heavy rains, but it has been a while since I went back up there as I sold all my RC's to help with teh downpayment on buying a house a year ago.
