Oh am I getting a little anxious to get a H8. Im gonna order it next week and then put the electronics into my Mini-T which I am selling. Then i'm going to get a Mamba 25 ESC, AON 4900 or GH 3600 BL (depends if i can get AON), Hitec HS-225MG, 8 cell battery pack and bearings. Then when I get more money I will get Kyosho Oil filled shocks, HPI pirelli rally tires, Pro-line 10 spoke rims, Mugen super grease, Tamiya AW grease, Alum. Knuckles, Alum, torque bars, Alum. rear hubs, CVD's.

Oil filled shocks, and ball bearings should be your first priority...There's no point in having a fast motor if you can't keep the wheels on the ground. :)

I know, but my LHS doesn't have any parts for the H8 yet, they have the cars, the BL systems and that's it. Also I want to put the electronics from the H8 into the Mini-T so I can sell it faster. But I will be getting the Oil filled shock for sure. :)

Man...You're so damn lucky...How old are you?...I've spent like $450 on the Mini Inferno and it's upgrades and maintenance, all of that, from the money I earned and made. :)

Im only 17, but my parents have very seldomly helped me out with my racing vechicles (B4 FT, T4, AD2, TTR S3, TC3). I had saved up and worked at the LHS for the last 3 years, so that's what helps me out the most and the fact that they sponsor me aswell. My parents only pay for my race fees and food for the weekend. They don't even attend any of my races, I go with the guys who own the LHS. And plus she owes me $200 so an AON Brushless package will cover that.

...bearings you will need...sorry didnt read the first page so you have probably got those already...Be aware that the little screws might fall out of the BOTTOM of your front knuckles quite early on; Some do and some dont but you will lose them eventually...a piece of decent tape over the hole will at least save the screws when they fall out ;)

Whoa. Im a very very very very very lucky kiddo I must say.

I pay for maybe 25% of my RC stuff. My Mom reallly really helps me out alot, she totally understands that this will give me many skills and even help my social skills and things! I really really owe my racing success and knowledge to my mom.

When I say I have the best mom in the world I really mean it and I really do!!

She comes to races, and talks to the pros and wants to learn, she even is starting to understand what I talk about when I say "Diff" and "Conrod"

She talked to Barry Baker and Todd Hodge when they were in town, my mom was talking to them and everything!



Well good luck on the Half8! Hope its here on time!

Sideshow

Just 4 days ago :)

Hey, do you guys bring in Kyosho stuff? Like parts for the half 8?

thedirt
08-28-2005, 03:01 AM
Oh Yea, sweet. But to tell you something (maybe you know) heartbreaking, they just came out with an M11. Anyways, were going to be bringing in half 8 parts, especially since im going to have one :D . We can order alot of things, i don't know about things like Atomic and 3 racing but GPM, Kyosho parts we can get. We haven't got much in yet as the one there is out there hasn't broken anything yet (and he (J.E. on this site) has beat the thing to a pulp :D (sorry)). But we will be getting hop-ups (oil filled shocks, alum. things, etc.) as wel as stock parts once we know what to get (knuckles, arms,shock towers, outdrives, hubs, wing stay, etc.)

Sideshow
08-28-2005, 03:25 AM
Yeah I know theres a M11..not much different from M8 so yeah.

My M8 and Spektrum costed me 300$ from a friend..Wicked deal.



Yeah, Ive been doing everything though ebay so far. If I need somthing Ill see if you guys got it :)


How much longer until you get you half eight?

She says there coming on thurs. so the minute the come back ill be ripping throught the boxes. :D I also got a hitec 225mg coming. and then i may rob back my mini-t wheel bearings for the wheels. And hopefully I can get my my to buy me an AON package, but i also need her to order me a few new engines from trinity (i got sponsored by them, and i guess i should really have there name in my signature :o ) which will cost about $400 and then i need a pipe and 2 elec motors. You need a 13t for this winter on-road racing? I got a orion 13Tx2 brand new ( 1 race weekend at our leg) and im selling a Factory Team TC3. If you need ( i need to sell them) contact me( you got msn) also i will bring them to calgarys big race.

Sideshow

08-29-2005, 02:25 AM
Cool, well we'll have to see you this winter as i don't think we will be seeing you guys again unless your going to Calgarys big race. We aren't going to the final because we can drive the same distance south and race with the big boys again. Were going back to Cali to race at the Reedy Truck Race. :D :D Should be a hoot. Blue groove track :D :D

Sideshow
08-29-2005, 02:31 AM
Yeah you guys are only like a hour from the border or so?

I think we will be doing calgarys race, not too sure.


Anyway, let me know when your H8 comes
