Anytime man. Just ignore the nervous intermediation that comes with doing this. I actually did mine on my own, without Legal representation. I was raised by an attorney and I do all of my own court evictions etc and for my job so I studied it, got it started (hardest part is just starting) and it only took 11 months. Funny thing is she didn’t realize the divorce was final until several months later. She never paid attention to much of anything in real life

At this point we didn’t have much left and the kid was grown so it was actually quite easy. I simplified it further by giving her everything we owned (Except my 4 bicycles, 2000 books and clothes, wasn’t into RC yet) and offered to send her back to California. She took the offer and I dropped 7K sending her back to her home immediately. It was worth every single penny and I liked starting over from scratch, it was…refreshing.

The last sentence of the 1st paragraph is the reason it'll never get fixed. She's a Facebook addict<--doesn't even come close. These "groups" of "people" lol argue fight docs each other. Hacking each othets e-mail. Wife has actually talked to the F'N FBI over some of this b*******. This is the only social anything I do besides work and I'm good with that. I may use herbacious goods in a state where it's NOT legal in any form besides the crap in the gas stations.

Hee @Steve38 sweet looking rig man. How are those ZD racing shocks doing? I have a set in my spare parts bin; they look and feel good, but was wondering how they performed. I am currently rebuilding my desert buggy and the stock shocks will get new springs and seals, but also considering those ZD shocks.
One thing I noticed is that those ZD shocks have very very thin oil in them.

I like them for what they are. Honestly they are a bit long the rears are 135 mm and the front I believe our 115. I've liked them so far but I don't send my truck off of jumps I'm more of just a ground Basher catching some air over hills when I can. For the price though they're pretty all right

And thank you for the compliment sir

So just a bit of a update. Got a set of (winter evenings) bearings. Looked to be about like fast eddys or Jim's. Complete set. Gotta get motor bearing or just wait till it trashes and get a bit better motor. But anyways...here some screen shots and a couple small vids. Wasn't where I was hoping to run today. But she ran.

Nice to see you back up and running! I got a set of those winter bearings also for a build I’m starting on soon. They look decent and were on sale.

Right on atleast if they are trash I wasn't the only person got. Lol. And caught them for like 10$ cheaper than the others. . New servo coming also.

Just remebered to ask....
1. U shim ur bell crank posts??
2. U shim at the axles?

I love this truck

Thank you MxFan! Shes pretty mental with helluva attitude. My kinda girl .

Edit: pretty and mental. Which still makes "pretty damn mental"

RC entry # 420.2021. It's been a bit of a stresser to find a ideal place to thrash. Found a few decent small spots. A park here and there but that can go awry pretty f'n quick some days. The 2 dirt BMX tracks that are reasonable are not RC fans lets say. (@$$#θ£&$!!!). 1 concrete skate park always full. And CONCRETE. Lol.
Last week on my way back from last meeting about the BMX track I spotted a couple commercial size construction sites. 1 had areas where concrete had been poured already. So i knew it wouldnt be long b4 that trend continues.
BUT I did find this spot....

Got my bearings and new servo in also.

Honestly man its people like u that keep any hope of having a partner I can trust and will do their part. And help me grow as a human. Its very apparent how much u love ur wife. BUT I also will be taking a long hiatus from the relationship world. I got some things to get straight first. I hope what I feel is this great change of growth and learning but honestly i can't till I clear life a bit. Or ill never be happy or provide in a way that I should.

Stay strong my friend!

 

[mxfan69]

Very cool but if you’ll take a word of advice from a Construction Superintendent, going up that close to construction equipment will get you ran out of your new bash spot quick. Cool picture, but be careful my friend, don't accidentally look like a vandal or thief.

 

[*420+3RC*]

Stay strong my friend!

Thanks bud. Times are def more than tough atm. No job. Its the holidays. Etc. But ive been thru worse. It'll get there

Lol. Yes sir. I parked way away from the equipment. And other than the couple quick pics kept it that way.
And stayed in a clear view even from the Hwy. Note on the car letting people know just in case.
I was thinking about trying to catch someone there Boss/Super and speak with them. BUT my luck so far with getting the is . They arent building just removing dirt it appears. Any thoughts on how to get a pass lol??

LOL, yeah likely wont have any place hand out passes due to modern risk management and A-Holes that are sue happy. Typical "grey area" around some sites is don't ask don't tell and don't tear up anything, and with that most builders just turn a blind eye hobbiest playing in the dirt. Especially if there is no fence/gate/guard/No Trespassing type items. Keep letting us live vicariously thru your pics though as we all cant get to cool spots like that, and we dig your truck.

Thank you sir.
I promise to do all I can to not get shot and get you guys some more RC porn. .

Hopefully quality goes up and the camera guy shuts up. . Hes a neighbor of mine that I help out. Hes my special needs elf. Not a dig. Honestly hes a late 50s (doesn't know his exact age) special needs guy. And DAMNIT HES THE TRUCKS #1 FAN! You can hear him squealing and laughing. I love it!

Hell maybe if I catch a worker/boss at the site I can get a job too. Been a long time since ive been in a Dozer. But its kinda like riding a bike. Well nah not really but I can run 1 lol9

 

[mxfan69]

Thats awesome

 

[*420+3RC*]

Damb didn't realize itd been so long since I've updated. Well now is a good time!!! I got my new hobbystar 3665 3100kv motor in today. Finished drimmeling out the arrma 15t pinion. Set mesh loctite on pinion and mount screws. Its not gonna get a full 24hrs to cure but sometimes its just that way lol. Shes been down since mid November. CVDs installed on rear now also. And little details reworked on aesthetics. Thanks for looking. Makes Betty feel better. R.I.P BETTY WHITE. We shared the same b-day.

Shout out to RCjuice.com for the lolli pop. Hopefully they don't call them "suckers". As that could make people paranoid .

Oops forgot 1

Glad you got her back running!

 

[*420+3RC*]

Whoa whoa whoa.....i knew id got stoned and forgot where I put this thread.....

So to show Betty some . I'm show her off.

I BUILT A RAMP!! So far so good. Heres the only carnage surprisingly

Nothing major. 1 because I don't have much room. 2. Would rather stay outa the powerlines 3. Breakages for me is down time. NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO LOSE RC TIME!

 

[BulletRCs_NZ]

Keep ripping it bro. I'll have a cone in you honor

 

[*420+3RC*]

Only issue I have is the freakin ramp is toooo slick. If I try and pop the throttle while on the ramp she just loses all gumption. Was trying to stay away from grip tape. Seems like itd be way to rough on the wheels?? U think?
