:lol::lol: Touche Mr. Lincpimp, touche :rofl:

C'mon Harold, you know I don't speak spanish...

but in a tight situation you've got a french tongue... ba-dum ching:rofl:

I think you better post some actual build shots before this goes any farther Harold,weve learned too much intimate info about you and Lincs love life already...

Sounds like you are drooling on the keyboard. One hand web surfer!!! Or should I call you Hand Solo, cavity commander of the rear brigade!

And my tongue is not french, it is neither hairy nor smells like old socks.

Yeah,nothing quite like a furry yellow guy and the sound of squeeling wheelchair tires to get me drooling...and how did you know my nickname?

I saw a special on Bravo, they were doing a documentary on drag queens and your stage show featured highly on their "must see" list. I was trying to watch top chef, but I just could not believe how ugly the drag queens were, kinda like a train wreck, you just can't look away.

Thats funny
 

Thats funny, because the rest of us just change the channel. So Harold have you made any real progress on your build yet? I know you cannot just sit there looking at these parts without getting out a couple of allen drivers and testing out the fitment of some of those parts. Share some pics with us so James will calm down a little bit. He is like a crazed animal in a cage. If you just toss him a treat he quiets down except for the muffled knawing noises as he munches down on your bone.:lol:

After reading your posts Jerry, I cannot help but imagine what mental images you get going. I bet you get all sweaty and excited too, and have to rush off to the restroom with your jergens...

Easy on the French there lincpuppet. How's the little family doing?

Is the build done? Are we there yet? Where's the vids? Pics of the carnage after a 20' jump per chance?

Eh? French Canadians are cool with me!!! But being british there will always be something between me and the european french!!! Not really just making jokes!!!

Family is fine, she makes me-faces all the time, so funny to see someone else with my mannerisms!!!

Harold is too busy trying to come up with replys to my jokes. He does not have time to build rc.

Parts list is looking great Harold, anxious to see the assembly get started.

So get yor hands off Hippies rump and start putting the screws into some CF instead ?

I'm busy selling off parts to pay for the build. Oh, and I'm on bedrest healing a pressure sore. As soon as those things are done I will get building.

Same here :intello:

Get well soon Harold.

boing boing boing

No baggies? Dissapointing. They might get dusty dude.

I built something!
 

I made a carbon fiber wing out of an old wheelchair back.

Tell us how those shocks work out,I e seen them ALOT but haven't heard anything about them. but why didn't you just upgrade your stock shocks? Phatdad shafts,threshold seals fast eddy bleeders and darksoul orings make a damn near indestructible shock,probably costs more but in the long run it might save you some cash.

THANK YOU josh9mille!!!!!!
 

josh9mille powder coated my RCM 5b conversion kit black!:yes:

i bite thy thumb at thee

what stock shocks? This is a ground up build!:intello:

I got these shipped to me for $100. Way cheaper than stock shocks. They have beefy looking shafts and look well built.

It seems like limiting straps are the key to keep shocks healthy. As long as they don't bottom out they last.

Forgot you didn't start with a RTR,let's hope the seals hold up as well.my venture into aftermarket shocks (RC4WD) didn't go so well.

The first run should pretty much tell the story.

How do you plan to drive a box of NIB parts?

Are you going to put it in the back of your Ferd F-teenthousand?

Whatever dude. You're an F-teenthousand:na:

I know, cause when people say I can't so something you know know what I say?! I say they are an idiot.

And the sale starts in Trucktober and ends in Truckvemeber.

Never give up
 

Never give in Harold, or he will win. You just keep doing what your doing. We shall see your 5b running soon enough. Take your time and build it right. I love how your collecting the parts for this thing. Everything hand picked to make it your way. That way there are no surprizes. It looks interesting so far. Glad your feeling better.

The last option parts arrive
 

Carbon fiber tank brace, carbon fiber rear shock support, turtle front shock brace, suspension limiting cables, darksoul meaty servo mount, and a threshold servo saver spring support, and a full force r/c carbon disk aluminum pad brake set. Carbon disks and aluminum pads are the hot setup, just be sure to sand the glossy off the disk so fibers are exposed to grab aluminum!

Steering is the biggest complaint when it comes to the baja. I have done three things to address and eliminate problems.

1. http://www.davesmotors.com/s.nl/c.88...t.A/id.7916/.f This raises the linkage mounting point putting it inline with the servo horn.

2. http://www.davesmotors.com/s.nl/c.88...t.A/id.7870/.f This toughens the saver and keeps it in adjustment

3. http://www.davesmotors.com/s.nl/c.88...t.A/id.6226/.f This does the most to remedy the steering. In stock form at full left turn the servo horn hits the chassis limiting left steering throw. Normally the meaty mount is installed on the switch side of the radio box. If you install it on the non switch side it centers the servo more, avoiding the annoying servo horn hitting the chassis. My steering will be spot on!

I ordered an entire knock-off 5b to get the rest of the parts that aren't aftermarket. That should arrive at the end of the week, then I can start building!:yes:

Skip the CF motor brace - Its not going to work with Mikes kit without severely limiting your battery options.

You are going to have to cut it down so you might as well use the stock alum.

hOLY CRAPPER WHAT A BUILD CANT WAIT TO SEE IT DONE AND RUNNING I CANT EVEN GET MY BULKHEADS CORRECT ON MY G4 BUILD AND YOUR DOING THIS FROM SCRATCH. WILL I WEIGH CONSIDERABLY LESS CAUSE OF THE CARBON FIBER?

Um your uh caPs lock is stuck on?

her name is Black Betty
