In 1977 "Don't cry for me Argentina" spent 7 weeks at #1 in Australia

I just went through a similar thing, the new shocks are 13mm.... I originally wanted 12x23 but had to get the 13x23.

Without elaborating too much....

Very high grip/ carpet = Gear diff
Low/Med grip/ dirt = Ball diff

Bummer they didn't include the Bandit door decal

I always thought that nitro buggy looked cool

That's coming along nicely, looking pretty slick

That's basically how Cliff did it

I think you should run the softest t-bar on the street that you can find as traction on the street is generally always lacking. If you start picking up the inside front wheel or have too much rear traction then start to look at going to a stiffer t-bar

NiCd's generally aren't affected by being stored for long periods in a discharged state. Old race packs used to be stored with battery bugs attached to keep them fully discharged. The NiCd is far better than the NiMh for devices that rarely get used. NiMh on the other hand would be ruined by sitting...

Zap each individual cell but be careful, just quick touches are all you need. I've never had a cell explode personally but beware that they can, I think an old weak cell would take a lot of abuse.

Your battery pack is only as good as your weakest cell.

The hobby isn't the same as it was in the late 80's and 90's. It has become way more corporate and lost the magic that it once had. I'm just glad I grew up in the hobby when I did.

I'm jealous of you guys with tracks.....

My "future" track when I eventually buy all the pvc or lumber, plow discs and related accessories..

My wife found some old photos from 1999... most are crap as the old Kodak disposable camera wasn't very good at action shots or photos taken in the shade.

Sort of related but sort of not..... I found it funny anyways, and the people were probably wondering why I was taking a photo of their sign.
