Re: Picked this up tonight - Cadillac
Haha! No, just the 3rd. I'm still trying to decide which car I want to run in 2wd. I made them too nice and now I don't want to run either of them.
I thought about finishing up the red rc10 I was building for the '09 event. I was still sick back then and couldn't make it so i kinda lost interest in completing it. It's close though.... and the body is already painted. I have the rear shocks, just really need turnbuckles and some bearings.

Re: Picked this up tonight - Cadillac
Don't say such things!
Would you sell your chassis cut down services? I wouldn't mind a slick chassis like that for VONATs.

Re: Picked this up tonight - Cadillac
Well, I had money set aside for the trip. Then I ended up having my gallbladder removed at the end of March. Missed a few weeks of work and needed the money for bills. I haven't been able to but any of it back yet because now the hospital bills are coming in. And my dog has cost me like $500 the last couple weeks at the vet. Already being a 1/3 of the way through July, and now since the race moved to MA I'll need an extra night at the hotel. Right now..... it's not looking all that good.

Re: Picked this up tonight - Cadillac
Oh man, that sucks... Should start a gofundme page.
If I wasn't in such bad shape at my house (with home renovations), I'd ask the "boss" if you could crash in our guest room... but that's a staging room for renovations now...
Although i'm still 45min from RCE.

Re: Picked this up tonight - Cadillac
No gofundme stuff for me.
My cousin lives in Littleton (30 min from the track). Worse comes to worst, I'll see if the wife and I can crash there for a few days. They moved up there 2 years ago, and from what I hear, they have more than enough room. Just don't want to have to do that.

Re: Picked this up tonight - Cadillac
OK, got this thing close to roller status the last couple of days. I still need to tackle the trans but that shouldn't take long. I also made a front bumper for it. I'm not spending a whole lot of time or money on it. Just kinda throwing it together with what I have laying around here to have something to run on Saturday at the Vonats.

Re: Picked this up tonight - Cadillac
Looking good. Yeah, I was thinking I need to get something to run the other day too. But I figure I should finish one car before beginning the next.

Re: Picked this up tonight - Cadillac
My 2wd for Sunday has been ready for months. Then I built another one because I didn't want to beat it up. Now I don't want to beat that one up either. Don't think I have the money to do another one that's not quite as nice. ![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

Re: Picked this up tonight - Cadillac
hahaha. know that feeling... That's how i justified my 5th Worlds ReRe kit... I needed one that could just be a runner and wasn't a "project build"... I may also use the same reason should I have a chance at another kit... ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

Re: Picked this up tonight - Cadillac
Alright, It's basically ready. Ignore the tire/wheels, just needed to rip it around a little bit after the electronics install.
Speaking of the electronics, goin' old school. Using my trusty old KO EX-5 radio system and Tekin 411p that I got back in '91. I'm hoping the esc doesn't go "poof" during the 8 minute main with the lipo.
I have to bend up some wing wire and mount a wing yet.

Re: Picked this up tonight - Cadillac
you really need to paint up some bodies for people. You've got the 'vintage' eye for it. That kind of vintage look is was what I was hopin Andy would get back into. That looks great btw...
