New Addition to Fleet and having problems...
 

OK, I just got a new addition to my fleet. Weighs exactly 8lbs 1oz, so it's not that heavy. But I just can't seem to get it working right.

It works fine for a little while, but then starts making funny sounds, and even leaks at odd times. When it does this, it smells kinda bad.

Movement is rather sporadic as well.

I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong? Gearing maybe?

Here's a pic of the setup.

congratulations. Hope mum and baby are doing well

Thanks!

Yes, they are both doing very well. Birth was Monday (11/24/2008) afternoon at 3:54PM.

Might explain my reduced presence here...

:yipi:congratz Brian!

Awesome, glad they are doing well :yes:


Now wheres the 1527 fit in all this? :lol:

Congrats Brian ....Beautiful baby

Excellent build! I think it is your best one yet!! Those need lots of fuel, rest between runs and respond better if you play with them often. Congrats!

Congratulations man! Better than me... i was born premature and weighed 4lb something... :whip: :surprised:

Is that an ofna or losi ? j/k congrats man I need to have myself a baby before I start farting dust, congrats again on the healthy baby

I guess it has no fan :lol: joke...

Congratulation Brian

Check out this site that some dude put together. Might help with the gearinghttp://www.scriptasylum.com/rc_speed/_gear_calc.html. :) Congrats!!!

Oh that guy that make that site is really the bestest person ever.

That's great. You got so much to look forward to. It a totally different hobby. Full time that is. Another reason to give thanks this year. Glad all is well.

congrats man.

Weyyy! Congratulations man.:party:

If you thought bleeding shock absorbers was messy, you ain't seen nothin'...:rofl: :wink:

Brian...congrads! I can remember like it was yesterday that my daughter was that small...sometimes I wish that she still was...:whistle: They grow up too fast!
Best of luck w/your new addition to your fleet!

Cuter than the baby Jesus. :yes:

Congrats, Brian But I bet it still blows hot air once and awhile

Congratulations to you both. :)

Congrats Brian on your newborn! Whats his/her name?

Thanks guys! She is definitely a sweetie! Her name is Riley. It was either that or Scarlet, but Riley is better IMO. If was a boy, the name would have been Calvin (after my favorite comic character).

I also have a 10 year old boy, and remember when he was small too.

They DO grow up so fast (and yet sometimes not fast enough).

I suppose I should move this thread into the General Discussion forum, but thought the initial post made more sense in this forum as a joke. :smile:

Probably a Traxxas. It's a beginner model, RTR, and needs a lot of maintenance. :mdr:

Congrats BrianG! :smile:

Congrats!

I don't see any problems with that setup. Looks perfect to me.

Congrat's Brian! But am I confusing you with someone else - I thought you just got divorced about a year ago?

Does it run on LiPo? Just don't break it, you can't really fix it without spending a ton of money. Remember you have to wash it really well every time you get it dirty. They start to smell bad when you don't wash them :wink: Congrads!

Well, actually, the divorce was "final" on May 14th of '08. :oops: :whistle:

But, she said she wanted the divorce in June of '07 (just after I got a much better paying job - how convenient). She just hung around the house to get free room and board until I finally told her to leave. There's a reason she's listed in my phone contacts as "parasite".

It's funny though; she was a wallet drain while married (I covered all expenses - she covered her gambling :sarcastic:), and she's still draining my wallet while divorced. And of course she got custody of my boy, but she only wants it for the money. I've got numerous documentation on her for a court custody reversal.

That said, I started seeing other people around summertime and found someone MUCH better. Let me re-phrase that: MUCH MUCH MUCH better. After a while we decided we wanted a baby and since we weren't getting any younger (I'm 35, she's 31), we'd better do it soon if at all. And the rest is history.

There, now you have all the sordid details...

Very good decision on the name!!!:yes:

Scarlets is the name of a local strip club here ... :whistle:

As for the name "Calvin" ....I have two shelty's named calvin and hobbes....

....LOVE that comic....wonder if thats the one you were talking about:neutral:


anyway, cute kid!

best of luck brother....get some sleep.

Yup, Calvin and Hobbes (no "i" :wink:) was my favorite. I was actually quite mad when I found out that Bill Watterson (author) wasn't going to do it anymore.

Me too. I wonder if RCers and...no...it must be a kid thing.

I have everyone of his collection books. Anytime I am in a bookstore I look to see if something new came out but alast...


The "killer snowmen" and the "bike" are my favorite strips.

congrats man, I like the name

Congrats on the baby Brian! You'll get the hang of the new hobby soon enough. :wink:

Congratulations for your new RileyG

(fixed the spelling:oops:)

Yeah, I was bummed when I found out he was done.

I was told it was because he had allowed the rights to a company that sold the likeness to the sticker company that designed Calvin peeing on stuff.

I think that was urban legend. I think he was just done.

Too bad.....


I recently picked this up;

I already had the whole collection, but I had to have this too ....

congrats

I have a 3yr old son, and am holding an e-revo, e-muggy and slash for him till he gets old enough to play with them.....

Congratulations Brian! :party:

Good looking girl you got there. Congrats!!!

Congrats! i think i have a fix for you, my wife started this company due to lack of product on the market for our little girl. Pm me and i will send you a free care package of hand-made bows and paci holders. her only request is a pic so she can put it on her site www.babybowsonline.com

Congrats, I just had my 2nd one just 4 weeks ago. She is growing fast.

I like the name. What is the name of your 10 yr old? How about your children Finnster? I like to know people's names... :lol:
