lol sorry about the laughing, but probably a funny sight to watch you do that franiticly, and all over your fresh build, sorry to hear about your mgm tho!

TDC57 06.30.2008 03:58 AM

No worries.. "thinking back" It was one of the moments when you wish you had the Video running (for sure!)..

MGM should have it replaced and back in my hands in about 4-5 weeks. Probably before the 2nd batch of MMM are released.. (sorry, lets not go their)..

That really sucks! All that waiting for me to finish the mounts and then this :surprised:. I sure hope you can get an ESC or two before the bash!

Gee 07.01.2008 02:41 AM

The RC Gods have a strange sense of humor at times. At least that's what I convinced myself after they fried two of my esc in a matter a week. I'm sure I heard laughing when I found the second one smoking. It's good to have the old noble steed there when you need it. The evo is the one it seems I can always fall back on when the rest are breaking down one after the other.

One more + to toss one back Shaun. The ESC didn't go up in smoke in the house. Takes weeks to get that burnt electrical smell out. Bottoms up!

To-date I've got $3,135.85 if my records are correct.. Minus tax and shipping (those don’t count towards the value)

Have a great one and thanks for looking..

P.S.
Yes I know I've spent way to much money on it!

the big question is...how much the wife thinks you spent on it...:lol:...oh honey its only about $200 RC stuff all looks the same to women.....:lol:

TDC57 07.13.2008 02:13 AM

She knows nothing..( a few hundred more or less). If she ever knew how much I’ve got in my builds it would jump start her menopause..:lol::lol::yes:

GEVO UPDATE!

So I Just got back from camping and have some hard core bashing video to show for it!. I took my Gevo Rock & Tree climbing and beat the beans out of it at the lake over several days, the video is a little long but most of the cool crashes come at the end of the video (sorry)..

Rock Climbing vid: “Nothing too spectacular”

Beating the beans out of it at the lake: Cool Crashes!... :intello:

Thanks for your time and have a great one..

Shaun.

Nice video. One piece of advice - if you are going to continue to drive like me, you'd better put a lid on that thing or you are going to break something $$$.:lol:

JERRY2KONE 08.13.2008 10:18 PM

Fun
 
Well it looks like you had some fun delivering that beating. Nice to see your rig running so well. I hope to be doing soimething similar very soon. We are now moved into our home in Korea, but still waiting on all of our stuff to arrive. Then I will post up some photos for you to. Nice work as usual Shaun. :lol::intello::party:

Gee 08.14.2008 01:55 AM

Nice to see the Gevo roll up it sleeves and get into it. How does the carbon fiber bottom hold up against scratches. I know you intentionally ran right over one of those rocks in the bashing video.
:lol:

Thanks for the compliments, Actually I had a lid but for it, but cracked it “big time” tree climbing two days before I got to the lake. Luckily I didn’t hurt really anything on it but broke a battery strap.. This GM can defiantly take a beating..

Thanks for your time Sir and may I say that is ONE BAD A$$ truck you have there, but I need to ask the question, what kind of miles per gallon to get and what your paying for diesel (?) it’s almost $5.00 a gallon here..

Good morning Jerry!.. It’s great to hear from you! And it’s even better to hear that your close you posting about your builds, defiantly looking forward to leaning a thing or two from the master.. it’s also nice that hear that your home safe.. How are the kids (?)..

I had a great time beating the beans out of it!.. I'm finally to the point where I forgot how much money it cost me and now I just want to beat it till to breaks.. It’s really been an outstanding truck and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great build and a strong truck to go GM..

Thanks for your time Sir and have a great day..

Shaun.

:lol:


Hay GEEEEEEEEE what happen Sir..
Thanks… the GEVO is defiantly working the front of the rotation lately, it just a workhouse / given that it will run and take a beating.. I'm really, really starting to have a great time with it!. I gave up on saving it looks (I’ve got old pictures for that) so it’s time to get it real dirty, starched & dented up.. I'm treating my scratches as marks of honor now, so with that said look at how badly I'm tearing up the CF on it.. HHaaaa haaa…
