lug he doesn't play for the saints.

i know he plays for the giants, <- best team ever and since he doesn't get the win payton doesn't get it either

the lug

Payton didn't even shake hands, if you asked me thats just bad sportsmanship. I kinda lost what little respect for him that I had after that...

I have gotten a total of 10 hours of sleep in the past week guys...

AP classes have been brutal!

I am finally sitting down at my workbench with an rc in front of me for the first time since October

I got a new project evader buggy check my thread out

I havn't soldered in a few weeks and I got my scx10 and a new lipo. I have become a big fan of electrical tape! (i just like that smiley)

Schwenzo

HAHAHA i always make electrial tape look super hack, heat shrink will really make you look pro IMO...

the lug

Yeah the whole electrical tape thing is super easy, and yeah shrink wrap just looks factory, especially when you get the same color as the wires. All that finally stopped for me today, I got a 40watt iron and some solder and flux from radioshack. Nothing big, just an 8 dollar iron, but its really good! I like it better than my old hobbico one. So now that I've spent a solid hour soldering up a bunch of batteries ans esc's. I CAN REST!!!! (thats how i feel right now)

Schwenzo

hahaha nice, yeahh i got a $8 60W hobbico thats really nice nothing on a hakko which are a dream to use but its solid and it has a long tips so you can keep cutting int down and exposing new tip

the lug

Yeah thats what I did on my old one. I've finally ran outta tip though, so it was fine for a replacement.

Schwenzo

i have another tip kicking around soo when i run outa this one... i think i'll end up just ordering more tips cuz i don't wanna spend the $ for a real good pen

the lug

I think I'm gonna splurge and get a set of rc tools. I like the pro-line ones and the mugen sets. I have a losi 4pc. set and its REALLY nice.

That is the worst, cause all you can do is lie down and do nothing, but.....

I GOT MY PERMIT TODAY

I only got 2 questions wrong, and i went driving as well. I'm not good at the whole slowing down and turning thing...at least the tires werent squealing . Now if I could only get a new battery for my car.

Haha, yeah driving is a bit tricky at first. The first car I drove was my dads 4 door tahoe... You dont realize how much of a tank that truck is until you drive it! Now I'm a very good driver, so good in fact that my traffic instructor gave me a waiver. Now to get my license all I have to do is give them my waiver and permit and whela! No test OR driving!

Schwenzo

hopefully going for my licence tommorow YAY, but yesterday me and my dad discovered out 06 explorer has excelent traction control... its hard to do burnouts and such with that on a lake... he was teaching me what it felt like to be "out of control" it was very fun indeeded but you lost power soon after you lost traction like you pushy gas and it no worky and the snow was a tad sticky but it was still pretty slick....

the lug

Yeah thats pretty much gone in my dads truck, we have fun doing all kinds of powerslides in winter with the 4wd off.

Schwenzo

reyzo your lucky you dont have to take the test.

My brother is the only one with 4wd in his ranger and well he doesnt use it much because he likes to drift in the snow.

Unfotunately my moms 00 taurus has a sticky gas pedal so you launch quickly and its not smooth at all, not very fun.

Hopefully it snows again when my car is running so I can practice "skid control"

Haha, thats how my drivers ed cars were, old chevy cavaliers with gas pedals that had no response till you pressed it enough to do a burn out, and then they'd yell at you!!!

I hated drivers ed...

Schwenzo

muscle, just praticing isn't good enough, as you will learn more when you are in a crash or spin on the road. I only say that as it is a better over all lesson, but playing in a parking lot works just fine.

Also I dirve a fwd car, but I will slide it around turn just for fun. A few weeks ago when the road were clear (it is rare this time of the year will all the snow) I took a turn really hard and went sidways though it (it wasn't a drift, more of just a big slide). Although I like to push the car to the point where the tires make noise (my roads are narrow and it is hard to tell if there is another car comming or not durring the day time, so it isn't a good idea to get out of your lane (of course I will still cross the yellow line to apex the turn)).


Reyzo, that is because they don't want you to go too fast. Although it is way harder to drive a car like that or one that has a stiff pedal as it is hard to fine tune your speed with out giving the car too much gas. lol

I get a to write a paper on the science behind being a professional rc car driver =P Can't wait to go all out on this one, ill post it up here once its all done

Yeah I know what you mean evil3, but still, it'd be nice to have a decent car for that of all things. My moms car is a full time 4wd(its a rice burning toyota though...) so it NEVER slides, not even if you try your hardest. I've come to the conclusion that it will traction roll before you get it to slide... Its almost like it has a locked rear diff...

and micrro t master- best of luck to ya bro!
