So this pass sunday after my oil change and diff change, I decided to go for a drive and some how ended up at the hobby shop since I was there, i pick up a pair of paddles for the RC18 and the REVO. I CAN"T WAIT to try them out.
Brian please tell me you are bring something else. I don't mind tuning it...

My truck is down - broken motor mount but the biggie is its not registered - needs smog and 400 dollars for registration.... kind of broke right now
spencer try to take some videos, I'm really curious to see it. unbelievably, there is a HUGE lack of paddled r/c videos on youtube, so I'd really love to see how it does.

I ran out of time for RC everything. I have to finish up things on my fullsize first.
That's a bummer Arthur, I miss seeing your truck mob.

I'll add to the fun, I still hate Nitro.
Took the TMaxx to Pismo since it's the basher with a spool and paddles. Started off by swapping in a receiver, couldn't get it to work. Then when we got it to work the channels were all off, no matter what we plugged into where. So I borrowed one of Spencer's RX/TX and got it working, but the steering was really slow and only had two channels so no reverse, but that was fine.
Then we couldn't get it to fire. Tried four different EZ Start batteries before getting a good one (Spencers Mega Battery lol). Changed the glow plug, nothing. Then we tried starting it with a glow igniter instead of the Ez Start wire, this worked.
When it finally started running it ran hard for about 2 or 3 minutes then began to bog, bad, and got worse to the point of it not moving and finally dieing.
This is where I gave up.
Oh well.
