You haven't been here long enough to see the abuse I get for cleaning and waxing my rigs.

Wow great work detailing her! What a gorgeous rig, you've developed a mental issue called RCOCD it's not fatal but it is permenent. after i get these new tires i am going to buy a shell and have it custom painted by my buddy who does tattoos.

LMAO! That's classic!

Sounds good, I was looking into carbon fibre dipping my whole body shell, then I was going to add electric tape stripes.

Okay, now try to KEEP it that way. Not only can I help with your tune-up, but I can recommend cleaning products and wax.

Now don't turn any more newbies to the "dark-side" or should I say "waxed-side"-no innuendo intended.

It took a while, but it went over the 2 grand mark.

That it is rather a lot. Now how much on wax?

I'm still making payments to Johnson's Wax Co.

Thanks. One more part needed and that's the servo/Receiver box in either bright silver or orange anodized. Another $95 for that piece, but I think that should do it.
By the way, I now get bulk discounts from Turtle Wax for purchasing in the 55 gallon drum size.

I don't have enough wax.

God forbid what would happen if you owned a wax factory...

 

[Kris407]

let me guess Rolex... your hero is Mr. Miyagi

 

[Rolex]

Wax on, wax off.

 

[Greywolf74]

Wax on, wax off.

Yeah....except you seem to only wax off

okay so to continue on with the throttle problem i originally had... the buggy has driven good for the last few times but today after tuning it in for a few minutes it was stalling on the idle again. the front clutch bearing had broken and siezed onto the crank shaft so everything was turning together. i got it apart and will be buying a bearing kit from my LHS and a new clutch just for fun. i will post the upgrade soon.

 

[Paul]

Damn. Well at least it was just a bearing. What clutch kit are you gonna get?

 

[Kris407]

i haven't looked yet, i need something good but i am not racing.
