I never left, just put down the controllers for a while, been racing unlimited speedway karts, I still lurk to keep an eye on all of you though

So was Jim Deiter the first to use the side shock setup in a pro10 style car?

Milk, was just checking out your builds, very nice! Reminds me of my L2.5

Better late than never. Have a good weekend, Jay!


Okay, back to what I was doing.

Lurk Lurk Lurk Lurk Lurk

Just stopped in to lurk, but thought I'd say hi. I hung up RC's for a little while, still have everything, but the 1 year old, and kart racing keeps the plate pretty full. Hope all is well in the land of brittle nylon! http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c63/pbrallstar/5E114914-D23F-4DC7-BDE5-57BD3C41...

I brined my bird for the first time this year and I'll tell ya what, never going to not brine my turkey again! it was incredible!!!!

I accidentally had a CR500 for a little while, non PV. It was violent at the very least. I say accidentally because I was racing 500cc winged outlaw karts at the time and the CR & KX were the engines of choice. I saw a local ad for a '91 cr 500 for a price I couldn't refuse, I was just going to ...

Thanks guys, His name is Desmond Chelsea Cook, (the name came to me when Desmond Dekkar came on my iTunes) he was born August 31st. I think his first RC will be a tamiya (I've been looking for an excuse to buy one, maybe a NIB falcon which was my first.) http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c63/pbralls...

You guys all behaving around here??? I haven't checked up on you guys lately!

Hope everyone is doing well, I had a baby boy a couple weeks ago so I put down the kart for the rest of the season and hopefully I can pick up my controller for the winter indoor season.

that's like using bars of gold for doorstops.....

Honestly with the lowering, especially for an edm body, I like the stock CE front tower, and then just cutting down the rear tower for .71 rear shocks. that was what I used to do on my cars and IMHO it worked the best. I've never used the JG kit, but I remember the rear tower looking similar, and in...

Great Work Jake!

Most of the parts on that care are from Kranzel's. You can still buy almost all the parts as well.

I always ran a stock front CE tower and a cut down rear tower so I could run .71 shocks. From there it's just rubbing on setup. I have a good thread on here somewhere with lots of pics of my rc10 based edm's

I would just build a cool period shelfer, I don't think I'd get too hung up on the "box art" aspect of it, unless you can do it 100%. These old 235mm pan cars are really awesome to have in a collection, so just build it "cool". I love my 10L2.5 way more than I thought I would, st...

Dirt oval is my primary form of racing, I run mod sprint, 13.5 sprint, nitro sprint, and 10.5 edm on a pretty regular basis. I fill the gaps with paved oval 17.5 pan car and 13.5 non wing sprint car. here's an example of a WOIN style 2.25 terminator with some rare period parts that I built. It went ...
