alright for the past week i have been getting pretty board cause most of the time when i want to run the car the crew is either at work or other things of importance and couldnt really figure out where to run with jumps or anything seeing that just last sunday we transported the 6ft beast ramp and mini 3 ft to another house.

So i was fullin around watchin some old videos and poop and i had come across my old aggressive inline video at an old skatepark. So it gave me an idea and i drove by there today. well i told him my intentions and he said if its a slow day he will let me use all the ramps and course to try to run my car. so it should get interesting tomarrow after work.
 
Sounds sweet, try to get some pics or a video if you can. If not have a blast anyway.
 
There is a really small skatepark here with only a few ramps. I have been wanting to take one of the trucks over there for quite a while. I hope you don't destroy anything!!

can we say copy and paste? that took 1 minute of my time. just havin a little fun guys
 
One time I brought my old Electric Evader ST to a skatepark...lots of fun. Except for one time, I was going to try to jump a quarter pipe handle bar, (this is what it looked like)

I then hit the handle bar, causing it to flip and spin in the air, and I ended up cracking the front bumber. But I have to say, ... it was fun.
 
Zandor, just point and wipe. It sticks better.

NOW back to the topic, when bored just fire up the r/c! Situation resolved.
 
If you can't drive it, that means it 's just broken and needs to be fixed. If you're out of fuel, buy some more. There's always a place to run, even if it's by yourself. I've done it and had a blast. Food and beverage of your choice. r/c fired up and nitro filling your lungs ... what a great situation. Even just fixing her up or even cleaning it gets rid of boredom.
 
ok, ... how bout this one. This past memorial weekend, my rc10gt is at the lhs being fixed. I only have one radio, and it is with them with the rc10gt. The lhs was not open from saturday through monday, reopening on tuesday. So then what would I do, I can't even clean my car for fun.
 
That's a situation you could've prevented. Next time, fix it yourself. It's not that hard. Plus, if you do it yourself, you'll learn the car for the next time. Once you get the car back, make sure you have the Manual and tear down the entire car.
 
the problem is, is that I bought the car used from the lhs. If I fix it myself, I would probably screw up, and plus they would make me pay for parts. Since it is an engine problem (compression loss). I would repinch the piston/sleeve, but 2 of the heatsink screws are stripped. Also, it has been broken since I bought it, they said they will look at it.
 
What I do when I'm bored usually goes bewteen a few things. Rcing, Dirtbike/4 wheelin, Playstation 2, sitting on the comp.. Nothing to exciting..
 
For me, depending on the engine you have, I would just buy a new engine. Sometimes, it's just better to start new. especially if it's a second hand r/c. Breaking in a new engine just lights a spark in my heart. Gotta love it. It's like Christmas all over again! Well, you have RCNT to keep you busy.
