Needed it with the Novak but the Neu is running cool. So now it just a hole in the lexan with a fan. I'm on my second stock differential. I wish I would of got the diffs to begin with.......

I'm running 54/26 on my G3R Neu 1515 1/ w/ 4s same tranny but diff are stock. I haven't played much with the gearing once I put those on.
Hay Gee..
I’ve seen your build (it’s awesome!) inspired me to build mine.. (Don’t kid yourself)..

Thanks for the gearing suggestions..

FYI..
I just received my body a few minutes ago and I'm confirmed with Mike / Fast lane for the show tomorrow! :), I'm showing casing two of my builds there (dream come true) of course I’ll be up all night getting them ready. &!!! my MGM controller came to life this morning..

Good times ahead.. Good times..

It's always pleasure and have a great one Sir
Shaun.


Nothing!.. Hahahahaaa..

Yea the controller just came to life and my body arrived today so I’ll be beating it this weekend.. THANK GOD.. I'm looking forward to seeing if all my hard work and $$ spent was worth it..

I'll keep the team updated as the bashing commences..

Have a great one.

I installed what I thought were upgrades to make it "bomb proof", in reading these forums, my perspective on "bomb proof" has drastically changed and so have my upgrades...my point is if you REALLY want to have fun, you need to pony up the cash for the best of the best and then and hopefully then...no worries!!!

agree 100%.. I hope to find out this weekend and put that saying to the test..

Thanks for the words of wisdom and advise..

Have a great one Magman..

Hay xcntrk!.. That’s what I', hopping for not to hot of an application.. I'll just need to keep my eye on the temps for a while and experiment with different setups. I'm glad to hear that at lest my starting point wont be a bad place..

Thanks for the advise..

Again thanks for the kind words and I loved your earlier email!! Totally made me laugh and it put in me good mood for the rest of the day..

Have a great one..

Hey you cannot blame a man for trying.. I know how you feel. I have two rigs that are worth about $3K and two worth about $2500, and I am still working on getting all of the electronics together to make them run well. Thats ok, there are a few guys on here that keep me in stitches, so I like to give back when I can. That is one of my gifts, is to make people spit from laughing. there are a few people on here with that gift, Pimp, Paralyzed, just to name a couple.

What a coincidence, my FLM Maxx look almost indentical. Except that I have the GA titanium bulks installed. I still have not painted my body for it yet. Your lucky to have such an event to showcase yout projects and your skills in guilding your toys. I am sure that a lot of the kids will be drawn into the hobby just getting to see such works of art. I bet you cannot wait to get into your next build now that this one is completed. Of course one needs to recover from such a huge loss of blood $$$$. Good luck at the RCX and give us some good photos of the show since not all of us can attend.
