lmao! my wife gives me the evil eye every time she sees me walk in from the mailbox with a package. i just tell her i don't know who keeps sending me all these parts i don't think shes buying it though lol

I can't afford a wife. I'm having too much fun spending money on myself.

I told my wife that this is a cheap hobby

In the past two weeks I have spent a little over $1200. Wife hasn't said to much though. Since I am kinda reintroducing myself to this hobby my 5 yo daughter is showing some extreme interest so I started piecing her something together and my wife said" please don't go overboard". So I guess she is tightening the chain on that one.

The E-Maxx is a beast. I love it. Plenty of power, and I'm still running the factory NiMH's.

The Zen is awesome. It's not ported or modified. I just replaced the third bearing with a seal, and beat it from there. When the head finally dies, I'll have a good crank case to work with.

I've never owned a Summit, but I've read good things.

What's the third bearing? I only counted 2 when putting my engine together.

 

[alfred e numan]

the r-c bug has bit me too!

Yea, the r-c is a great way to get wild running a car and not get hurt! I have a mint condition Hafler 9505 lateral mosfet power amp that just sets- I am a tube guy anyways- I am going to put this hi-end stereo amp on e-bay- start out at $700.00 usd and see--- I want to get a DDM 5b ss no engine for the sand dunes, Oregon coast- Moses Lake Washingtons dunes, Juniper dunes north of tri-cites washington- If the amp sells- i will use the box the XB came in to double box the 9505 for shipping to save more money for the 5b.

What's the third bearing? I only counted 2 when putting my engine together.

The G290 comes with an additional crank shaft bearing. It's on the clutch side. It has the standard open bearing inside the crank case, and a rubber sealed bearing outside the crank case. The rubber sealed bearings have been known to leak, so I just replaced it with a standard crank case seal.
