another ridiculous project!

[phildogg]

I'm trying to get this guy to come out and run with us. can't wait till you finish this project.

haha wow guys. but then again, i loved my little nikko cars at the time. my very first rc car was i think a tyco or nikko revenge or something. at the time i wasn't old enough to read the name right. it was black with yellow suspinsion arms and bumper, little knoby tires, front (maybe rear too) shocks, and it transformed from a monster truck to a stadium truck. that thing was my favorite toy by far at the time. and it ran for a year or 2 before the motor had enough and finnally burned out (that shows you how much i played with that thing).

phil: i'll gladly join you when it's done! but i'm pretty sure we would have to go to that newly paved road close to ray childers elementary to get a long, smooth enough strait for it. after all, this thing had very hard tires, no shocks or anything to absorb a bump, and it's geared to go 90mph

Rediculously interesting. This thing is going to be sick, but incredibly funny to watch on video.

RC Dude, do you know you can click "export" on the speed calculator, and a little window pops up that allows you to copy and paste the text into your reply here?

It's a little quicker/easier than taking a picture of your screen with a digital cam and posting that.
