Yes your friend can use my video equipment, I was going to bring a tripod as well (yes or no)??

I also have a spider box (construction junction box) if there is power I can tap into well have all of the power you will ever need (yes or no) ??

I’ve got a MGM for Jnev, all ready to go with 6.5mm CC bullets, I’ll bring zip ties and what (??) does anybody need the 1512 2.5ds (??)

Jnev what do you want me to set the controller for ?? (3s, 4s, ect) please advise, it currently set of 5s. also do you have any preferred setting (??)

I’ve got a box of harden pinions I’ll bring just incase someone wants to experiment 10t – 25t

Should I bring my (2) plastic ramps (??)
Am I still bringing the BBQ (??)

Who got food and drinks (??)

Anyone got a portable radio for the fix it table (??)

Should I bring any beach chairs I’ve got 4 (I think??)


What else are we missing unclear on (??)

If you want to bring your tripod, that'd be alright. He doesn't usually use one, though.

Plastic ramps would help, as would that 5 gallon container for water.

I don't know of anybody else bringing a BBQ, maybe somebody is?

I can bring water.

If you have room you can bring beach chairs. I have some at my house that would be easy enough to bring over to LeBard. Also, there is a table-like thing at the park there, within extension cord reach of an outlet. I've used this table in the past to keep my stuff off the ground and for repairs.

Honestly, I have no idea. Last week there were CVDs, but whether or not they are still they I don't know. Our shipment comes in tomorrow (Friday) so perhaps you could stop by tomorrow night? I could even set aside the parts for you.

if they dont have them and you want to travel a little bit i know the chino hills store has the traxxas cvd in stock. i can hold them for you if you want.

[jnev]

Any setting are fine Shawn. Since it has 6.5mm connectors, I'll need to use the motor i bought from you because my 9xl has 5mm connectors... however the 1.5y will be super slow on 4s, but I guess thats all right. Either 4s or 5s is fine. Although if 5s, I may need to borrow a battery, but 4s is fine.

Bring anything you want. It seems obvious that you have way more stuff than anyone else. So we don't want to put too much pressure on you bringing so much stuff...

See you all on Sunday!

[TDC57]

Guys>
I found some CVD axels and new drive pins (I should be good to go) Thanks guys..

Travis.
OK.. cool
Can you just shoot me your address (?) I’ll stop buy your house fill up the bottles and review what left about 10:15 am ..

Jnev,
I don’t have any 5mm bullets (sorry), if you have some, bring them and I’ll get them installed on the motor / ESC should take all of 10 minutes. I’ll bring a 5s for the 1515 1.5y just incase but it’s only good for 20 min at a time (sorry) or I can take your bullets off your motor and put on 6.5mm one (??) we’ll work something out!..

Just and FYI,
I'm jumping on a plane in 5 hours and flying to the east cost for a few days, I’ll be back Saturday night (Late) so if anyone needs anything else please shot me a pm or something and I’ll wrap it all up Sunday morning.

Thanks guys, looking forward to it!..

Have a great day!..

Shaun.


P.S.
• No worries about bringing the “stuff”, I'm a dad with two active kids, I load up the “burb” every weekend with crap.

• If anyone needs my cell # (MetalMan has it or PM me) I may not have internet access until Saturday night thou..

[MetalMan]

Everything sounds like it is coming together nicely!

So jnev (it's Josh, right?), will you be needing my MM after all? You are more than welcome to use it, but if you aren't planning on using it I can throw it into my direct-drive-to-diff HPI MT2 and have another operational vehicle.

As Shaun said, I can distribute cell phone numbers. You don't even have to PM me, just say here in the thread that you would like them .

[TDC57]

Travis,
I’ve got Josh covered I'm just going to install a 1512 2.5ds and the MGM controller in his build, that should keep him running on 4 & 5s or until he brakes something!, please bring another build for spare ride..

Josh,
I'm assuming that is acceptable too you and it will all bolt right up to your bad boy (??) if so can you please strip your stuff out if possible?, can you also please bring some heat shrink for the wires (I'm out).


Anybody!,
I'm short (1) BEC for the MGM, do you have CC at work (??) if so can you please pick it up for me and I’ll gladly pay you Sunday Morning..


Can someone also please bring hotdogs / hamburgers and buns, plates, napkins, condiments, etc. IE the FOOD! (?)

I’ll bring the match light, the BBQ and the soda (coke, RB, sprite, and a screwdriver for me!) - for lunch

Shoot I’ve got to go to LAX….

Have a great one

P.S.
I may have an architect and his son also stop by as well, he’s cool.. “Hope you don’t mind”.

[MetalMan]

Alright, I'll throw that MM/BEC in my MT2.

I can grab a CCBEC if there are any in stock. If not, I've got a spare 6v 3amp switching BEC.

So, who's up to bring food?

[jnev]

Anything is fine for the Revo. The 1512 should be able to push the Revo around fine. I would happily bring food, but unfortunately, I have been on vacation all this week and come to HB late Saturday night to stay at my grandparents house, and they're not into the whole barbeque stuff, as I am sure you can guess about elderly people...

Shawn - I will bring shrink wrap, and I am spare 5mm connectors as well... no 6.5mm connectors though.

Travis - You can install the MM into your MT2... the more vehicles the better. I am sure atleast 50% of the cars people bring will be broken by the end of the day.

[MetalMan]

The MT2 has been revamped... 5s2p A123, and 1/8 buggy shocks all around. Just needs the appropriate oils in the shocks. My Savage will also be making its first off-road appearance, but I gotta finish making the the actuator for the rear brake disc.

Here's my current list of RCs I'm bringing:
-MT2
-Savage
-CRT.5
-vehicle that in its previous life was a Rustler, but now doesn't resemble one at all
-XTM X-Cellerator (brushless and Lipo, of course)
-XTM XLB (nitro...)
-Tamiya Mini Fox (stock and slow, but fun)
-XTM Rage (if I can get it fixed)
-Rock crawler
-possibly my Dark Impact
-not likely, but I might drive my SH buggy. I would like it to serve as a track-only car, but we'll see.

So you say the more vehicles the better, and I will run out of room in my trunk...

[TDC57]

Dam.... that's a lot trucks...

Hay guys I just got back and wanted to check in and see if anything has changed (?) hopefully not!.. I'll see you all in the AM hours.

Thanks for your time and have a great one

Shaun… .

[jnev]

I also just got back abut an hour ago from vacation. As far I know, everything is the same... LeBard park at about 10:30 to 10:45. Just about to finish charging all my batteries.

[TDC57]

Are you using your motor or mine (??) is there anything i need to bring extra for you (?).

I've got about an hour of build time ahead of me tonight to get my GEVO ready..

Good luck on your's and have a safe drive Josh...

[MetalMan]

Okay, some stuff has changed:

-I've got 8 hamburger patties and 8 buns, all for me (JK!)
-a bag of chips
-waters
-make sure you all go to the bathroom ahead of time, there aren't any bathroom facilities there that I know of. There is my house, which is a minute away, though.
-I've got a spare 7XL finned can.
-I've got a spare 3amp 6v switching BEC
-My tools are in my garage, so if anything needs to be made, it can be done
-The LHS is about 10mins away, and I have a discount

I've still got a couple hours worth of stuff left, mainly painting 2 bodies and packing. Then there's charging... Just imagine how many batteries I'm bringing with me.

Oh, and Shaun can you bring your power outlet splitter thing? I can take care of the extension cord.

[TDC57]

That’s great (thanks for the food Sir).. Yes i will bring the spider box for power distribution, Did you happen to pick up a BEC for the MGM controller (??)

Thanks for your time Travis..

Have a great one and I'll see you in a few hours at your house..
