Re: Rocket Lunchbox
No I think he's onto something , there's some weird airodynamic thing with blunt objects and the sound barrier , gonna be a winner for sure

If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.
A problem shared is a problem halved but an advantage shared is no advantage at all.

Re: Rocket Lunchbox
Weather here sux, got it all ready, but over my better judgement the
One talked me into not running that E engine and wait for the smaller engines...but did put a 20t pinion on it and baselined it with no rocket...it's got a Tamiya BZ motor in it..surprisingly it ran 33mph...alot faster than I was expecting...big torque too, still pulls wheelies

Re: Rocket Lunchbox
After Tooky's Cindi Lauper confession I don't think your rep is the one in question.

That'll buff out.

Re: Rocket Lunchbox
It's not really destroyed..the truck still runs great, maybe better than before on the motor...I ordered a new engine mount cause the front half got blown off..I realistically can have it ready for another test hit in 30 to 45 mins..with a new windshield and clear coat (Thumbs hates clear coat even tho his Dominator is cleared) that body will look great..not cleaning the truck till after it's successful...what if the next "D" blowsFrankentruck wrote: ↑Tue May 06, 2025 5:15 pmThat'll buff out.
