Another day with the Master of Disaster

[SkyMaxx]

It was a really freaking cold day. I drove for about an hour to meet with El Pirata (aka Master of Disaster) and his room mate. It was worth it when on the first pull my Fantom fired right up (EP and John spent about ten minutes to never trying to get theirs running). I proceeded to take mine through its paces and then hit the jump. Nice landings on three of four jumps...the fourth landing...grrrrrr

My day ended after about a 1/3 of a tank of gas on the fourth jump. Let's just say that cold weather and plastic do not mix. I now have a really freakin' good excuse to go out and pick up those Hardcore Racing bulkheads I've been eyeballing for about a year. Yup, that's right. I didn't quite pull out of the tail first landing that I watched in agonizing slow motion...my T-Maxx landed ass first and that was all she wrote. Took the bulkhead right apart. The bulkhead brace and bumper bracket portion sheared right off. The middle section split like a piece of safety glass (all shattered with no separation). The plastic skid plate was also toast.

As for John...his busted 2.5 Maxx with the TRX Pro .15 never had a chance...old engine sitting idle for far too long drained his EZ Start battery before he could really get it running. EP, his .21 Maxx kept trying to eat his clutch until he took it apart and went leading edge on the shoes. By the time he got things going again, his daughter was saying, "Poppee, where's the bathroom? Poppee, when are we going home? Poppee...." At that point I stopped my wrenching and so did EP. We left for warmer locations.

Maybe next time, huh, EP?

BTW here are a couple of shots of the remnants of my two bulkheads and skid plate (thanks EP for donating your old bulkheads to my cause, I'll return them when I get my Al ones from Hardcore Racing):

Bits and pieces:

Screw in place to show the shattered portion of the bulkhead:

You would think a "Naval Flight Officer" would know how to fly and land his T-Maxx properly...... guess not.

 

[SkyMaxx]

And you would think a :llama: would know when to leave well enough alone...guess not =devil

 

[FLATTOP]

And you would think that a veteran member of this board like yourself would know that the "Llama" shots have gotten old.

Nice try "crash master"

Oh yeah, tough "break" about your maxx. :ha

 

[SkyMaxx]

As a veteran member of this forum I KNOW that :llama: shots are old...that was the whole point. It has become obvious to me that sarcasm is lost on you. :ha

Give it up...your tired attempts will get you no where...

 

[FastEddy]

You described what it looked like and how you felt but what about the sound?

Just thought Id ask.

Look at the bright side, NEW PARTS

 

[SkyMaxx]

No sound...except the silence after the motor stalled and the loud Ah SHI...when I realized what I had just witnessed.

Who are you calling "Boy"? Am I to understand this, the master of the :spam wars is giving advice on relations?

BTW X, unless you are referring to a body of water or some kind of constricted face, I think the proper spelling for that word you used might be "straight". So prior to giving advice on relations, and busting other peoples chops on the proper use of the language...LEARN IT YOURSELF.

I have yet to own a little crack baby. But I'm starting to get the itch...=devil

They are expensive especially when I sell all your sheit at the pawn shop to by me some more

I am just gonna start sending you all my threads so that you can spell check them and for me. X

 

[SkyMaxx]

That's okay X, I've seen you own3d before. No need to demonstrate it again.

Please don't send me all of your posts. I see enough spam as it is from Mayhem, Maxxcrazy88 and his kin. On top of that, I just don't have the time to proof read all of your posts. It would take far too much time on my part to read and correct all the errors. I'll just let you rail away on those with English skills that are far worse than your own, but beware of the pot and kettle syndrome.

As for owning the crack baby, I've reconsidered. I have three immature mouths to feed in my house already; I don't need another one (especially one with a bad habit or two or three...)

 

[x_789]

Dang I thought I was gonna be able to supplement my income with by selling your tv and stereo.. Oh well its not the first time I was let down before.

As far as a battle with the master of the English Language I would never choose to fight you on your own ground. I would have to find some way to drag you down to my level .

P.S. can you explain this

I'll just let you rail away on those will English skills that are far worse than your own,

Pot did you say pot? X

Here I surrender

X, you should not tip your hand in public view

NOW HEAR THIS......NOW HEAR THIS....... If anyone want's to do battle with X, here is my advise.....never argue with an idiot (or in X's case, an as$hole) he will only drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Kettle, I hear you loud and clear. I appreciate the catch on the typo. Consider it fixed.

And now about your surrender, I expect formal terms...

 

[x_789]

Ok do me like Schwarzkopf did at the end of desert storm line up tanks on both sides of the canyon and then fly Apaches over head as far as the eye can see so I know what just kicked my ass from here to Israel. X


Also the pot was meant as the leafy kind. X

 

[SkyMaxx]

LOL...I just remembered why I like you...you crack me up. (and no that is not the rock, powder, or narcotic related kind).
