9:30! was that cause of the rona thing and online learing? cause I'm over like damn i think my elementary school started at 8:50 or some crap like that. I'm like missing the last 5 minutes of Mighty Max cause i have to leave for school, try to get some kickball in before class actually started.
i don't remember what time we got out, roughly 2:30.

No it was an all year thing. Actually, I think we did start school at 8:30-8:45 and on Wednesdays we had late start here it started at 9:30.

I have a "set" of Bald Eagle MC Truck slicks for my rustler. All the tires are the same part number, 8304.

One pair I got in August of 23 and the other pair I got in March of 24. Don't ask me why.

Just took them off because I originally glued them up terribly. And I just noticed that 1 pair (the original pair I got, I think) has these inserts and the second pair I got came with the inserts with the tabs on them. Is this why my original pair had more traction than the 2nd pair? The original pair, the inserts are softer and have contact between the foam and tire. The 2nd pair I got with...

Since the owner sold it,it's gone downhill. So much so I noticed tge crawler body they had has the same accessories as the 10.3, problem with the molds and bodies not being able to have paint stick and a few other things. Not too impressed with whorizons direction lately. So much so I'm thinking about a traxxas.

unless you had radar on it at the point of impact i don't believe that MPH. it doesn't take 70 do that, i did it on a RC10T3 doing maybe 30mph (stock arms, and it wasn't a parked car, it was a pole on a backstop of a baseball field)

You can't even call them Pro-Line anymore. The umbrella corporation has them now, so they aren't even a thing anymore.
