Guy, your killing me here.....!
I was almost going to ask if you actually used a real dictionary....saw one of those a while back!

This was actually the first time we used them. The ramps worked ok. Tried them as singles at first....that wasn't such a good idea. After we put them side by side they worked great. We'll pick up a couple more - Sports Authority had them for 29 bucks apiece. They stack together for storage, and fit in my outside storage easily.

Oh man you gotta build your own ramps! Not quite as neat, but way bigger!

The answer is no. And yes, mine is faster.

Yeah, those would be nice. But we dont have anywhere to leave them. Have to be portable.

I made my own but it's not something I would want take home to mother. A bit on the heavy side and the language of a sailor. Be nice to thow something in and take with you that doesn't require oversized springs on the rig.

Jeff, I do have a Novak HV 4.5 motor if you are interested in one for your new/old emaxx.

That was actually the first time I used the internet for a dictonary. Couldn't resist cutting and pasting it.

You can build them with hinges. Then fold them shut when you are finished. The benefit to this would be an ajustable incline.

The comments were funny, but i don't see anything wrong with titans. Before i made the brushless jump, I had one of the fastest MT's in my area, with titans. Of course this was in the TRX .15 pro days as well. I ran each motor on a P.S. for 30 minutes at half voltage, oiled the bushings after cleaning and used prolong oil on the commutator (kind of like the tribotech trick used on stock motors. I could pull the fastest Tmaxx down the straight


Work because i gotta, play because i wanna

People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise

I wouldn't try this with a brushless system. I'll be using titans when it gets nasty outside this winter. [IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG]

Time for high pressure wash! A car wash works well, but beware the strange looks you'll get!

You laugh, but I did that once. I put my muddy nitro Revo in a car wash bay, but ran to the change machine to get quarters. I get back and there was an old lady in a Buick waiting her turn. The puzzlement on her face as she peered over her steering wheel at the itty-bitty truck in the bay was priceless.

You are lucky she even saw it and did not run it over!

Yeah, that's true. I don't even know why she was waiting as there were two other bays available. Must have been her favorite or just an "old person" thing...
