well my day started off pretty good i went to a buddies house about 2.5 hrs away for a bash day that was the good part, and it went down hill quite quickly after that. even though i have a tweaked chassis i still went out so that was the beginning of my problems but i just wanted to run but heres where the other problems started. first i found out that one of my wheels is busted and luckily my buddy had another set of wheels so were good there, then my revo wouldn't shift into second gear so we tore the entire tranny down to see what was wrong and it was the primary clutch inside the tranny that was so far out of whack it wouldn't work.. .so we got that fixed and it was running great, then it stalled out, and the ez-start motor seized up or sumtin, so we put a 3.3 pull starter on my picco and got it running again. Thats just the beginning, then we get to the bash site and we are just runnin the hell out of our trucks, then i decide to do a hill climb up a steeper part of the hill than i was running before i get to the top and down she comes head over heels lands on the wheels and i try to get it moving again and it wont move, come to find out that my damn pushrod came apart so i get that fixed(so i think) and go running again and it falls apart again get it fixed and it stays together. Then we decide to go somewhere else and run, and this place had a jump, this has bad idea written all over it but i'm all for it, so as i'm running and jumping my pushrod comes apart again i get it fixed and start running again and the last jump. . .oh yeah i forgot i landed my first backflip i was soooo stoked, but ne wayz back to the subject at hand. . .my last jump of the night (un planned) i landed on the bumper of my truck and broke the shock. So all in all a good day of bashing but ALOT of broken parts and problems. .. so that was my bash day, hope you enjoyed reading it but revo is up and running again

heres the 2 vids from the bash day

Hey Rob that looked alot of fun and any day to run nitro is a good day despite the drive or problems and sometimes due to the drive and problems lol
 
this was my best one see what i can do alot of hard hits. crash and painfull landings to get it right. no broken parts a few weeks later the bearings went.

Nice air HPIBASHER. I got about 6' of air off air coming out of a ditch at my in-laws last year. I nailed the landing twice, but on the second I busted the rear bellhousing, rear srtut tower, blew 1 shock, bent another, and broke a stub axle. This was also my first experience with rebuilding my t-maxx.

I need to find a camera crew to follow me and help me get some action shots.
