Reminder: Winter Rebuilding

[hamster huey]

Well its been under 50 degrees here for over a week sometimes with rain. I am planning on tearing down both of my Ramps, my rc8be, rc8te, and sc8e during mid to end November. I have little to no spending money Nov to April because my job is seasonal. Rebuilding is a cheap way to still enjoy the hobby. The cold is here a month earlier than normal and it rains almost all spring here so it looks like my rc season is over earlier than expected. Nov/Dec/Jan/Feb/Mar is a great time for all of us to get ready for the new season. I will be straightening my chassis, oiling bearings, inspecting everything for damage, installing new wheels/tires, checking the suspension, changing diff/shock oils, dissassembling/cleaning everything. May be adding a front/rear chassis brace to the ramps (money permitting). Next spring all of my cars will be like new and ready to go!

smart move. I have the ability to run damn near all year round and I rebuild when I break stuff. You have an advantage over me. It never gets too cold around hear only too wet sometimes.

I did not forget the Ramp MT tires make good snow tires. If I run anything rc this winter it will be my Ramps but thats it. None of my associateds are h20 friendly. There are smaller h20 proof cars but smaller=cant go in as deep as snow as the Ramp. I cant wait to see everyones winter vids!

I like my Winter playland here in Texas LOL mostly sunny - partly cloudy and 60,s most of the winter season. That's my kind of winter , I have done the Indiana winters when I was a kid. You all can keep that S$#w white powder up there.
