    I know I am new here,but I have been toying with the idea of having a weekly race in Medford-using public property,changing race sights as needed.I ran my LST at a baseball infield a few weeks ago,aside from the dust,the dirt was groomed and almost rock free.-people could stand behind the fence/dug out,and run some real speed safely.A couple of water filled milk jugs,for turn posts,and you've got a track.-anyone interested??-any ideas?-

    I'll bring a 4wd slash and an 18t brushless-I don't have very many packs for them-my LST needs a $25.00 servo-just need to make a list, so I don't forget it the next trip to the r/c shop.----I WILL BRING MY GOPRO  sooo-the more the better!

    I got "displaced" at 6:30pm.It seems as though they need that area for baseball practic=I made a few laps,w/ both cars,and it was pretty dusty-I hung out til I was booted-sorry if I missed anyone,I would have been willing to relocate.

    we'll have to do that JROCK-a trip to Anderson Butte w/ the gopro would be cool too-maybe Saturday I'll go pick up that servo for my LST basher.

    I had fun chewed up a spur gear on my nitro rustler to prove its speed just ask ACP its fast. Then my T-maxx was being temperamental would not let me tune it. all while a stray dog chased us around are migshift oval track. Thin I broke out my little truck and ran it till it died. Liked meeting people into the hobby/Addiction as much as I am. Thanks guys had a lot of fun. 8) ;D ;D ;D 8) Fixing my rustler tonight and going to Tune my T-Maxx tomorrow. I think I might need to replace my fuel line. It runs fine till it hits high rpm.  ??? :eek: ???

    really enjoyed the company and advise on tunning =will be looking into some tires and springs ;) 
      bad news:somehow I messed up the video :-X
    good news:Lscottd almost got a new dog-it literally chased after his car when he left : ;D ,and I am sure Lscottd made some owner to the dog happy, when Lscottd reunited them.
    ...every person I have met from this group has been "good people"=looking forward to the next outing,Lscottd and cripplek=thanks for the company :)
