BTW I'm at 12.5lbs without the body or mounts.

Can't wait to see how yours turns out. I put my MMM combo back into the buggy until I can at least lower the battery and maybe add the kershaw extension kit to it. And maybe that 10s ESC!

That sounds about right for the WB. I should have the xl rear driveshaft in this week, and plan to get the 15" wb savage done by then... Need to spend some time at work after hours to get the tvps finished!

You do have alot on your plate. Sounds like you and me both need a shop at home. The less time we have to spend at work the better, even if it isn't "real" work.

Very true. If I go home I just play on the pc and watch tv... Sometimes I play golf or bolwing on the wii... Or some Matt Hoffman on Dreamcast.

I will try to get alot done this week. At least with rc! I have a feeling that I will be drunk this weekend, only turn 29 once!

Yeah, the wife is taking me out to dinner, gotta love hibachi, and I am sure the sake will flow like wine and the women will flock instinctively like the salmon of Capistrano! Or something like that.

I may take Sat off and work on rc all day! Get you guys some well deserved pics!
