I Love Going Home For Lunch

[HPIguy]

More to come as they arrive..........

Hell ya I love getting packages, its better than christmas

 

[robmob]

Packages by the front door is like XMas morning. Little piece of paper stuck to your door that tells you they are sorry they missed you because they need a signature. Not so much. LOL

 

[HPI-Killer]

Lmao that's the worst feeling in the world

Yep, same here, it's like a reward for surviving another day at the cube farm. Living in a really small town has a few advantages, my UPS guy knows me by name, so he'll just call me to make sure it's OK to leave it, and to give me a heads up. He usually pulls the door mat over it, or hides it behind the bike for me.

Everybody loves candy

I took the easy route and bought the kill switch instead of building one, work and school are crazy right now, so I needed the time worse than the money. Hopefully get it installed tomorrow night.

Came home for lunch today also. All my stuff showed up just in time. I get to run my Baja tomorrow with all my new goodies in 80 degree weather, hell yeah!!

 

[HPIguy]

I have a couple more small items that I'll be getting, but for the most part, this is it for a while. Warm weather is here, tax season is rapidly winding down, and it's time to shift my attention and finances towards thing's that require a helmet (aside from riding the bus

Silverback Ultra HD lipped bead lock rings. After mounting up my Hostiles, I should have gotten the inner rings too, oh well, next order I guess.

Also, I was inspired by Olds mod for the dang amount of grass and crap that the flywheel fan pulls in. A little window screen folded over and doubled up, and some goop, I already had both here on hand, so it was free.

Looks good. I too am awaiting on a package from DDM. Hostile MX hard compond tires and a silencer for my ddm v1 pipe. Its scaring my 2 year old boy when it gets close to him. He's not scared of my t max or jato. Figure the silencer should be good. On when I want it quiet, off when I want to make a little noise. Now if winter would just leave....

The good news about the Baja is that cold weather doesn't affect them nearly as much as the nitro powered stuff.

 

[rgreen]

Yea I know they work good in the cold, I've had mine out a few times. But limited to were I can go due to all the snow on the ground, plus I don't like all the clean up after its full of snow. Just find it more fun in the summer. This is my first 1/5 scale rc, and am looking forward to running it once the snow is gone. Although the spring flood forcast is telling me I should have bought a 1/5 scale boat instead!!! Lol

 

[hamz9561]

Pontoons and paddles for the Baja, maybe?

 

[HPIguy]

^^

Speaking of water, I decided to break in that new drill I bought today by tearing the Baja down to check the tranny and diff (the drill was so much easier), and I'm glad I did. I think the PO was planning on a flood, cause the entire tranny case was packed full of grease.

Nasty

Aaaah, much better

I cleaned and re filled my diff with 5K fluid, which I think is too light, but I'm going to wait till I make an order to get something heavier.

I was shocked at how beefy and nice the stock diff is

I also made some suspension changes to help try and get the car to rotate in the corner. While I was in there, I used Rob's idea and trimmed about 3mm off the rear sway bar as well. I have a few more big things that I want, then I can just kick back and enjoy it.

 

[fastflee]

Thats looking better some nice hop ups also!!!

 

[HPIguy]

Thanks flee!! More on the way, I'm addicted to DDM!

 

[CosmosGoat]

The DDM deal of the day will get you.

I see all the pictures of the packages which are very nice and my opinion is this in these packages is that these packages are the good enough.
