I plan on getting into town around midnight Friday. Brian I will call you on your cell when I get into Reno, and see if you are up for hitting the tables and some drinks.

I'm hoping we can hit the track by 8 or 9 and start running before the weather gets too hot.

Since the track will be occupied by the locals at 4, we can head back to downtown at that time and grab a nice dinner. We can figure the rest of the party out then. :wasted:

OH I will be up...And ready to party.I hope LOL.
Do you have my cell#.I will pm you it.

Hey dom are you bringing a starter box?
Or is any one?
I really don't want to ship mine If I don't have too.
OH and a battery charger..I can bring mine...But is there power at the track?

I have a starterbox for both of our mbx5s, and one for the hyper. There is no power at the track. Eddy can you bring your inverter? I can run my Triton off the car battery if need be. I'll also bring a power supply to charge packs back at the hotel room.

Brian who are you shipping your buggy to?

Brian, If you want to ship everything to my place that's cool. You know Dom, he will be going by this HUGE flea market (Denios) on the way up to Reno,You know which one it is Dom, And when he needs parts, or when the urge hits him, he will do almost anything for more rc parts. He has been selling alot off the site, as you have seen, So I would think twice about sending anything down his way.:hehe:

Either that or I was going to try the Josh Cyrul "house jump" with Z's Prospec.

On second thought I already tried that with your buggy before you got it. Did you notice the slight drift to the left from the chassis being tweaked?
 
Hey dan...Is it going to cost me 100$ to get a cab from the air port to the hotel?
 
Check with the hotel, they may have a free shuttle. Remember the hotel isnt making any money off of you until you get there. Its in their best interest to get you there ASAP.
 
Z..fasteddy is right, If you call the hotel and let them know what time your flight arrives they will send a shuttle for you. That's how it was a while back when some friends came in. I will double check and see if they still provide the service.

Dang!! That's what it is. I just thought with these high end buggys you have to follow behind it walking swiftly to the right to keep it on track!
 
Hey Dan were is the hobby shop you go to..
When I get there I want to go there when I get in to town.
You want to meet up there?
 
PM sent to the major players regarding cell numbers.

Looks like there will be 5 or 6 of us. Seems about right for the West Coast.

I can't even bring my flask.
 
Found out some news from our new local shop today. You can get fuel from this guy for smoken prices.

20% Sidewinder $18.99
20% Odonnell $20.99

30% Sidewinder $27.99

These are all 1 gallon prices. Never ran Sidewinder fuel, so don't know about that one. This way, the guys flying in will have some idea of fuel cost. Cause I know there not gonna let you take it on the plane. If you want the 30% you are going to have to order soon, so it will be here for the weekend bash. He says he can get it in about 3 days depending on what time of day he orders it. His name is Marc and you can reach him @ HCM (Helicoptors,Cars and More) 1231 Barring Blvd in the Smiths Shopping Center Sparks, Nv 775 355-7744
 
I am for sure coming up on Friday the 8th now instead of the next morning. I added the 8th to my room reservation to make things easier on myself.

I will be leaving Napa by 7:00 (shooting for 6:00) at the latest and should be in Reno around 10:00 or so.

Less than a week to go.
