First Post! Woo
You’re old.
you suck B
As does his choice in music. WOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAHHHHH OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH OOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
wow. not everyone at once!!
It’s like a football stadium in here, can’t hear myself think!
and she said……………………
i think i need to post that pic of Brian that I said I never would
Yes, you do. You also need to explain yourself for the pic Bri-bri posted earlier.
He did look pretty cool right? I mean that zike is sweet!
that is his scooter, bike, stair master thing. it is a bitch to ride. he couldn’t do it because of dunlopitis
.
Has the definition of “cool” changed lately? I’ll have to check out Urban Dictionary and get back to you.
lol.. I never said I wouldn’t post it.
So Brian, what’s your itinerary for RCX? Gonna do that high five pete v contest?
Cubby said I probably shouldn’t get my self kicked out so quickly. Since they had security escort RC Car out last time.. I may keep on the DL.
Especially since my ‘press credentials’ have apparently not been approved/accepted.
Get in an argument with the president of a major manufacturer on the show floor.
Also… RC Car? I thought they shuttered. Or am I thinking of someone else?
It was RC Car.
And yea.. I plan on at least one good argument.
Ok.. I just got a PR for an aluminum 1/5 body. Comments??
no
So fiesty tonight Wrench! Everything ok there buddy? I ask cause I care.
He hasn’t been getting out and bashing much.. ever since they closed our favorite track!
It’s probably pretty heavy unless it’s as thin as a pop can, in that case it’s just as durable.
it’s 2.5 pounds.
biggest issue.. again.. cost. I know how much aluminum costs.. and I’m pretty sure it’s not $400 for a 4×4 sheet
my thoughts.. it looks fricking sweet. Cubby says it will SUCK to paint.. I was thinking it will be cool once it’s covered in dents and stuff.. after me and Bill get a hold of it.. it will look like a demolition derby car in real live! I think a shiny metal paint job could be pretty rad.
acid etched flames would be cool
I was here by my self last week.
I’m at the wrong track!!!!!
The postability is broken
Jim! I saw your Micro smart Car pic on that boat.. do they only make red? WTF..
did you see the convertible death trap?
I saw it.. yea.. I’d feel safer in a go kart.
The red ones are faster than the other colors, so we got on the boat first.
ROFL
did I stay up for this?
Yes you did, Captain Cranky Pants.
thats Sargent to you!! lmao
Suddenly I don’t feel so old.. Wrench’s quote of the day ‘get off my grass you lousy kids!’
do you want me to call you at 4 when I get up? i will. a lot.
I also got a pr on a 4D plane.. what’s a 4D plane you ask? It has variable pitch on the propeller blades! So theoretically you could fly in reverse.. like a heli
Tried flying one of those in RealFlight once… it wasn’t easy.
The real trick on a 4D plane will be to go from forward to reverse while in horizontal flight.
I was thinking it would be good for me.. since I crash a lot.. right before I crash.. adjust the prop.. so instead of going nose down.. I’m going back up!
we need a real chat
It’s on the list..
It’s not on any list I’ve seen.
What’s with the avatar Jeff?
he likes men
I like cake
Only the bears. The bigger and hairier, the better.
It’s my exit photo from IHobby 2010.
he’s doing the ‘micro man’ pose!
http://www.bigsquidrc.com/pictures/bsrc/full/jeff_hoy.jpg
or he was happy to get away from WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH
I miss pre-grizzly adams jeff
you like it when he had a smooth face? you are rite Jeff. twinks
No, that is pre-WOOOOOOOOAAAAHHHHH OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH…
I can tell you like cake B. and bacon.
And Twinks… err… twinkies I mean…
lmfao!!!
1050 strip bacon burger! http://www.10news.com/news/30921904/detail.html
Why not use the chat feature on the BSRC ustream channel?
cuz then we’d have to see wrench in his PJ’s and bunny slippers live!
or you in your perry boxers with a ho ho in your mouth like a cigar
the home page shows 0 comments. lol
I see 59. What kind of crack are you smoking that you’re only seeing 0s everywhere?
if you hit the home button, on the post it says 0 comments
Mine does not.. you need to hit refresh… not sure why.. but the page does not update like it used to.. refresh button needs to be hit now and then.
Wrench.. you get those tires off yet? I was thinking you could just dremel the nut..
So what’s the issue with that? Are the wheel nuts like super-thread-locked on or something? I still don’t understand it.
the wheel nut comes off, the tire will not come off the wheel post
The nuts have these little ‘fins’ on the back.. and the rims have fins the other way.. this is supposed to keep them from loosening and falling off.. BUT if they get put on tight.. it’s physically impossible to turn the nut because the fins won’t budget on either.
I seriously had out the biggest tools I could find to pry mine off
So… how did they get them on in the first place?
Wait… what?
Brian’s idea of a big tool, isn’t. lol
He thinks a 4 inch crescent wrench is 6 inches.
For the nut.. you just crank them on.. the fins sort of go opposite ways.. so going on they spin ok.. coming off.. it’s like they go against the ‘grain’
Is the wheel stuck on the axal or is the tire stuck on the rim? which is it?
Same reason women can’t parallel park.. for years men have been telling them this is 10 inches.. and turns out they only had 4 inches of space behind them. Wham
its called knurled Brian
his rim is stuck on the axle.
rim is stuck to the axel
Don’t go gettin all technical there Bill. For future reference, it’s the thing on the thing, with the bumps and stuff.
That sounds like a personal problem.
knurled – yea.. that’s a word I have never used. Sounds canadian. Isn’t it a sport? Knurling?
Have you tried a mallet or gear puller?
When all else fails, get a bigger hammer.
ooh, sounds like a good tale here.
yea.. bills like fused itself somehow
Shhh
tried a hammer. stopped before i broke the rim
…that doesn’t at all sound like the Wrench I know…
you need a BIGGER hammer. More mass and inertia is a good thing
later guys.. I need to get back to work also…
Thanks for stopping in everyone!
I’m out. later ya’ll
Bye.
I has a confessions to makes. I haven’t driven an RC car since my Redcat review…
what?!? Ack!!
And you have the backyard track! WTF
The bash park is being overrun with weeds from under utilization. It’s penciled in on the schedule to get everything back in shape and start driving again.
good.. get on that!
Ok’.. im out
g’night all
Bye .
nite
Bye
I guess I’m done too then. Since I’m all alone. Go watch this music video: http://youtu.be/2rlYPb2plaY?t=16s
This was the most useless chat ever, yet oddly entertaining. That music video was pretty crazy, I’ve never heard of them, but I’m not exactly “in the know” anymore. I played in a rockabilly band, good times
