82 degrees and sunny Sat so what we all doing. I'm available all day atm.

[frddyj]

lemme check the work schedule, see what time 4 me. Magoo mentioned something about noon.

[Magoo]

Noon sounds good, but I think I am going to get ready as soon as I wake up. I would like to be there around 11. But planning on noon is a good idea. Also I am going to see if a friend of mine can make it as well.

[AllanQ]

[frddyj]

lol my back. ... i wish dont hate me caz im bootiful. hate the game not the playa.lol

[Magoo]

So, Bank, his son, my friend and I were the only ones that showed up before 3:00 last Saturday. We had a great time. The BMX people left the track by about 1:45. That is when the fun really began. Before that we were up on the recently cleared out area. I believe that they have done some work to it as sections were kind of smoothed out. But anyway getting to the BMX track. I hate it in that so far any place I have been sucks now. But that is my own problem hehe. My 4.6 stocker was handling all the jumps and table tops like a champ. I was so impressed with myself and my truck. I have never really jumped it above my head before Saturday. To be expected though, I have some damage to report. I was getting a little ****y and thought I could do some of the stuff I saw Bank do. Well that is when I landed on my shock tower and forced the roll bar into the cooling tower. Well this is what I am thinking happened as I did not see it land. This caused my mill to shift and chew up the spur gear. needless to say it ended my day. Also with all the hard landings I was doing, I busted one of the bumper screws casuing my a-arm pin to walk its self out. did not lose any parts but kept having to put them back together. anyway here are some pictures of the cooling head. I think I was really lucky that it just moved it and not break.

[redneck]

nice carnage

[frddyj]

ya, thats decent wreckage for a 1st time Magoo. good thing it was a savage caz if you got another brand of MT, chances are it wouldve been destroyed.

thats how you learn the truck tho, bash it, have fun, run into problems & then find solutions on this forum.



VVV careful doing that bud, this guy is a bit crazzy

...thought I could do some of the stuff I saw Bank do....

Completely agree! Bank wants to launch off the high banking turn that is next to the parking lot, into the parking lot.

[frddyj]

kk, vid cam is ready. reps for your damage btw.

[Bankrupter]

Well Magoo you must comment on my Picco as you are the only one who has seen it run in true conditions. (Robin is getting mad at me for not being a poster boy... LOL jj )

I am not bashing this coming weekend. Have to spread moms ashes. IDK it is a 50/50 may still happen but count me out for now.

The following weekend may be a issue too. I may run late on a satellite install in CT. If so Ill be absent again. Must fund the picco with peace offering parts. I have been told it keeps the half tank club gods at bay ...

[Magoo]

I might not be the best person for making a comment on your Picco Bank. I don't have much exposure to different engines. But I will do my best. That thing ripped!! You pull the throttle trigger and the truck is gone. It sounded great throughout the whole power band.

I do have an addendum to my damage report though. I cracked my engine mount, my engine plate and bent my left TVP. I don't think I will get the parts until I get back from my vacation. So I am won't be going back to the BMX track until middle May. But I will be back!!!

[Magoo]

I got my parts from the SMF store on Saturday. Unfortunately I was unable to install them until Sunday night. But the important thing is that they are INSTALLED! Anyway, now all I need is the new era 125cc tank and I will be good to go!. The install of the FLM engine plate and mount was easy. Well maybe if I had the proper tools for the mount. Thoes bolts stink when you use a small bent alan wrench. Other then some hand cramps the install went great! Here are some pics of the installed parts and engine. Sorry for the low light pic. I am sure there will be plenty of light for me to get better pics the next time I go bashing!

Magoo

[Magoo]

Update: Ok, its been a while and have added a few more things. Got my fuel tank and a pull-start. I went with the ofna pullstart. I also got an axial fuel filter as well. Here are some pictures of them. Also on the last pic, you will see the forum sticker!! Gotta give props to the family!!!

[frddyj]

kool jeff. lookin 4ward to bash tomm

[Bankrupter]

What time guys ?

[frddyj]

130-2ish for me

[Magoo]

[frddyj]

Vis has a family gig at 4 but gonna try to stop by for a few minutes.

Basher-T might show (hes not been feeling well).

i know bank talk to jud but not sure if he's coming or not.

ne way if its just me you & bank, we'll have 6 trucks between us.

[Magoo]

Cool cool, I will see you there. gonna have to get some good vid of bank's CF savage!

[frddyj]

*** Update ***

frddyj sav went around the huge puddle,
vis sav drove into the huge puddle (may have shut down, i dint see)
magoo sav went into the huge puddle,
somehow magoo ended up on his back in the huge puddle.

:dunno:

[Magoo]

when clay gets wet it gets slippery. I tried to get to my truck as fast as I could. it was upside down in the puddle still running. Luckily the air filter got wet, but water did not get into the engine. I would rather have my butt soaked and muddy from falling into the puddle than deal with a wet mill. Man was that funny though. Good times good times.

[Visionary]

lol... I wasn't there for that.. but I did land my truck in water, justin disconnected my battery instantly.. Came home, blew it off with compressor and let it sit for a while.. Plugged in battery last night and servos are perfect

[frddyj]

[Magoo]

Ok, tomorrow is the big day! make sure you got everything charged up and ready to rock!! I am going to bring a cooler for water. The weather says it's going to be a hot one so be prepared. Does anyone have a portable grill? we could do burgers and dogs. nothing to extravagant but what are peoples thoughts on this?

[frddyj]

i have a sweet portable Webber Baby Q, but id rather (& have to) focus all my time on bashin & wrenchin caz it will be my last for a while.

[Pope]

Why don't I live in MASS.

[Mattholew]

.............

[Magoo]

Sounds good frddy. I will meet you at HF around 1:00 or so. I was just thinking grill would make it so if we stay for a long time (which I think is the plan) we would be able to do dinner. and I don't think anyone is going to be going full on full time. Plus we have to have video going too!! but I don't really care a fast food place is across the street from HF and that is not that far away. So see you tomorrow!!

[Visionary]

fired up the K today...only ran for like 5 min because my stupid batteries were dead in my remote :(... Should be a fun one

[Magoo]

Opps, I meant Saturday...hehe

[Jon]

ill see your all there! going to be the best bash yet lol.

[frddyj]

yesterday was by far the best bash yet. i say this caz we had a good turn-out of peeps and ive seen some things ive never seen before.

**special note to flux users**

im still not 100% clear on what happened but i strongly suggest that you get rid of the AM set up & get a 2.4Ghz Tx/Rx that has built in fail safe so it cuts power if you lose bind.


any video you've seen or story you've heard about this truck on 6s lipo cannot begin to describe the power it has when you see it in person.


i watched this thing tear itself apart, throw parts many feet away, destroy some parts & try to eat bank. i ran from it as fast as i could.


its the fun-est truck ive ever seen, but can also be dangerous. keep lil kids away.

i will post some vid later today.

[Magoo]

I second everything that Frddyj just said! I was not down by the cars when they first turned it on but I saw the aftermath and wow. There were holes in the dirt parking lot like fire crackers went off. too bad the camera was not rolling for it... but I did see it when they got it back in working order at the track. All I can say is CRAZY POWER. I have never seen anything like it. Keep away from small children.

[frddyj]

here is a very short clip of the tire blowing off.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFcwLFgdy6c

[Visionary]

lol... Hopefully i'll get to see that again soon :).. Nice work badd

[Bankrupter]

I saw it eat me

[Jon]

good times lol

[frddyj]

***language advisory***

here is the vid of badd's 1st flux run http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmX5i5Fvr3A

[Pope]

Alright I am working on making the 7 hour drive up to come bash with you guys maybe the end of sept maybe begining of oct.

[frddyj]

Alright I am working on making the 7 hour drive up to come bash with you guys maybe the end of sept maybe begining of oct.

well that would rock kinda hard. pick up baddasz_savage on your way through CT.

[Pope]

well that would rock kinda hard. pick up baddasz_savage on your way through CT.

That's the plan. Maybe I can even get AJ to come along.

[Magoo]

As I talked in shout with Bankrupter and Frddyj; my header gasket tore and caused an air leak. Well went to the LHS and got a new one. When I replaced that I noticed a crack in my fairly new (10-15 tanks) FLM mount! I have no idea how it happend. lucky the engine has not budged. My mesh is still good. Gonna have to order up a new one from SMF ASAP.

[Judicator]

I told you you had an airleak Magoo! No one listens to Jud! pffft I'm going back to wow

[Magoo]

I believed you man! I just did not think that it was coming from the engine. I was thinking it was the fuel lines. Plus I was not looking forward to pulling apart my mill. Glad it was just the gasket. well have not tested it yet. But I will this weekend.

[Magoo]

I just emailed Fast Lane Machines to see if there is anything that can be done about my FLM Motor Mount. I hope I get an answer today!

[Magoo]

Got an email back from FLM. They said that it wont be a problem. just need to send it to them with five bucks and my shipping addy and I got a new one. The question is, is it worth the down time.. maybe what I will do is buy a second one and then send the first one in for warranty.

[Jon]

lets start setting up another bash here fellas im getting ansy.... if noone is busy 22nd let me know!

[frddyj]

im busy that day =<.... also its my dad's bday, thinkin of getting him a super cub. or a mini super-cub.

[Visionary]

I'm also busy that day.. busy that whole weekend gah :(

[Magoo]

Sorry badd I also am busy that weekend. I really want to see that truck of yours in action too. :(

Also I found out that it was not even the gasket that was casing my air leak... I went and ran it last night and found that the seal on the fuel tank cover is bad. So I am going to have to figure something out. gonna try to pull off that gasket and see if a hardware shop as something that will work. Let you know what I come up with.

[Jon]

ok guys im thinking next bash sep 5th who's in?

[Bankrupter]

MA basher club is closed till next year. Fred should be alive to run things by then

[frddyj]
