So today I was so excited. Found a bolt to replace the missing one from my silenced Dominator V2 pipe... put a new switch on top of the radio box because the one on the front is impossible to reach with my sausage fingers (this one has an extra attachment so I can charge without opening the radio box.
Had my closest RC friends standing by waiting to see the radar and see if I went past that 50MPH goal I have set.
She started in 3 pulls with her finely tuned Walbro 990 and away she went around the parking lot to get warmed up. I took her all the way to the end and commanded her to ludicrus speed as she came by me. As she passes by, I turn to follow her and find that one of the latecomers had stopped his Blazer right in the path of my pretty Dunerunner.
So the damage is not as bad as I expected. New A Frame, new Diff cup, CVD, and I need a chasis now.
I think I can get away with running 2WD after I swap the A Frame out. That will get me back on the road until the order I just placed with RC Dad gets here
The worst part of this whole mess though is that my buddy was holding the radar gun, saw the accident, and said to me " I clocked it at: ZERO"
A-Hole... ha ha ha
