Dudes..................I have a serious nitro jonez goin' on! It's been 3
weeks since I lit up one of my vehix. I hate July-September! Busy season
at work, and my goddamn grass needs mowed twice a week, so zero time for
nitro. Arrrrrggghhhhhh! I can't wait till fall! I actually run my stuff
more in the fall and winter than I do during the spring and summer.

You guys gettin' enough run time to feed your need for speed?

No :(

But then I've been feeding my need for speed via bombing downhill on my
mountain bike :)

I did attempt to get out there last w/e, charged up a set of transmitter
batts and a couple of receiver packs, but thats as far as I got. The
weather was awesome but I was just too busy with jobbies...

This w/e wont be a goer either as I swap out the gearbox in my mates car.
Poo. Might bring the Inferno with me for a razz in the paddock, that car
hasn't seen fuel for way to long, plus I need to use up these batteries I've
charged up :)

Cheers Dre

Me neither! Although I'm fairly new to this whole thing I do kind of
feel the speed bug already. Weather in Sydney has been failry rainy
this winter (unusual) so that been a downer the last couple weekends.
Plus I've been busy moving in with my girlfriend, that continues this
weekend. Now I know most of you must be thinking "Christ don't do it!"
but she's fairly cool about the whole thing and enjoys her time to
herself when I'm out arcing up the nitro. I'm hoping to get it out
(the car that is) this weekend on Saturday arvo.

Cheers

Hey, a fellow Aussie :)

I'm in Tassie and surprisingly the weather has been great lately!

Speaking of, I'm spewing I didn't take the bike to work with me today,
leaving early (in a minute actually) so it would have been real nice to use
the last hour and a half of light to hit the trails, oh well, next time!

Cheers Dre

Me neither, but then, I've been feeding my need for speed on a 600
sportsbike. Christ it's fast (for someone who's only ever ridden a 125 and
driven a Peugeot 206 XSi).

Nope.
Work,Yardwork, Family...
Still trying to find time to piece together something that doesn't leak
nitro fuel out the front bearings or rear backplate...
Had a little time to work on the S-25 motor last night and a backplate screw
stripped out..RRGGGGHHH
Had to Dremel a slot in the screw and backplate just to get it apart...
Maybe, just maybe I will have something together for my day off work on
Thursday..

I finally got some play time in and managed to FUBAR both the buggy and the
truggy, so I'm benched whilst waiting for parts. The buggy was normal wear
and tear (clutch shoes wore out), the truggy got blasted by my bud's MGT and
broke the right steering knuckle. My fault really; I was taunting him,
zipping around him in circles and figure eights, outmanouvering him, until
he stopped and threw it in reverse (I forgot about that!) which rapidy
turned my line of annoyance into his line of attack. BAM! It was pretty
spectacular. He drove away unscathed. Goddamn thing is a hog.
