    Howdy y’all!

  9. Rick proclaimed on this day:

    I jumped back into RC cars last Spring (built an RC10 in the early 80′s with my lunch money). Bought a Traxxas Summit. It is bullet proof and very fun to bash. Have a e-revo, e-revo 1/16, XO-1, Savage XS…..fun hobby.

    • Brian said this nonsense:

      U sound like our kinda basher! Where ya from? Going to make the Big Squid Summer Bash next week?

    • TMohr proclaimed on this day:

      lots of Traxxas in your stable… they have some good stuff now days…

  10. Rick commented thusly:

    The link to the article in the jump post is broken….http://issuu.com/hobbytown/docs/hobbyoutlook2

  11. Manny proclaimed on this day:

    Rick did you go nuts with the summit and go brushless?

  12. Rick broke a vow of silence to say:

    I live in a NW burbs. I travel for work so I’m 50/50 on making it to the bash.

    • Brian's mouth spewed forth:

      No jumping in people’s heads please…
      But I would like to see you attempt a tandem jump

    • Jeff said:

      You’re assuming they’ll stay together long enough to make it to the ramps!

    • TMohr attempted to articulate the following, but failed:

      You’d never hit his head, your truggies would get trapped in his Grissly Adams facial hair…

  14. TMohr opened their gaping maw and spake:

    cool sand video Bill….. wish you were a bit closer though…

  15. Rick said:

    I didn’t go brushless on the Summitt. The only thing I’ve done is bought some new tires. I tried Trenchers on the Summitt but they are too tall.. The stock tires are great but wear out quick.

  16. Rick attempted to articulate the following, but failed:

    Thanks for the ramp link. I missed that article. Need to build one.

    • Brian commented thusly:

      We need to update with ‘Add lots of handles.. makes it easier to carry. It’s a bit bulky.

  17. TMohr said this nonsense:

    Brian- is there outdoor AC power, or is the AC power only indoors at the bash next weekend?

    • Brian attempted to articulate the following, but failed:

      We had some outdoor power ran last time.. but it’s just off some big extensions.. a little sketchy cuz they run through the parking lot and keep getting run over :)

  18. TMohr attempted to articulate the following, but failed:

    And you get in any trigger time lately Jeff, or ya been working too much?

  19. Brian opened their gaping maw and spake:

    Does this link work?
    http://www.bigsquidrc.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Pro-Line-50-Truck-11.jpg
    It’s a upcoming pic from a ‘how to’ Manny is working on. If it works.. you guys can get a sneak peak.. :)

  20. Rick said:

    Keep up the good work at Big Squid! Best!

  21. Jeff commented thusly:

    I think I’m supposed to be balancing my books right now. Checkin out. Night all. I love you xerxes, you’re dreamy.

  22. Brian proclaimed on this day:

    Bill2D needs the Bill3D hat Cam!

  23. Brian said this nonsense:

    you run the 2.8 Trenchers Bill? The ones for the stampede on the summit?

  24. Manny attempted to articulate the following, but failed:

    So have we set any gound rules for the Demo Derby??? Can I rig a flame thrower?

    • Brian said:

      As long as you state you have a flamethrower.. and don’t burn any kids.. I think it’s allowed :)
      Safety first!

  25. Brian broke a vow of silence to say:

    Craig: Are you making the bash? Bringing your friend? Is that Sumo table portable? Or do Bill and I need to whip one together this weekend.
    Bill??

  26. BSRC_Wrech commented thusly:

    I’m out. Later ya’ll

  27. Manny said:

    I didnt know Snow White was into RC???

  28. Manny proclaimed on this day:

    I have no clue what SnW stands for and its te cleanest thing I could come up with…Dooh

    • TMohr said:

      SLot and Wing is one of the best known hobby shops in the midwest, partly because of its location in Champaign, partly because they have so much discount stuff from the big two, and partly because of just how the store is set up. You gotta see that place to believe it.

  29. Brian proclaimed on this day:

    ok guys.. I need to get back to work!
    Have a good evening.. thanks for stopping by!!

    • TMohr's mouth spewed forth:

      I’m out too guys, see ya guys on the 9th.

    • jimbo74 said:

      how did you guys get the animus parts? i can’t find them anywhere

      • Brian said:

        We got them early from Firelands/Helion .. but I’m pretty sure our Hobby Town in Orland Park had many of them in stock last week.

  30. Manny attempted to articulate the following, but failed:

    They cant be that bad Brian they are giving you some BSRC love right on their main page

    • Brian attempted to articulate the following, but failed:

      It’s a crazy cool store.. I was just giving Craig a hard time, trying to get him to come to the BSRC bash.

  31. jimbo74 commented thusly:

    orland park’s hobbytown does not list the alloy upgrades on their site…. sadly, i can’t find them listed at any hobbytown usa site

  32. Manny broke a vow of silence to say:

    Brian if you are still lurking I just hot dropped another one for you

  33. Manny proclaimed on this day:

    What upgrades are you looking for Jimbo?
