Yo, just asking if anybody here is from the Houston area.

Yours truly man, what area you from????

I bet you both are racing at the same track and don't even know it. The one off of 45 south.
Mexican Speed,
I still haven't made it to Houston to check out the track in person. How is the racing there? You winning every heat and the A-Main yet?
Jerry

Yeah, I am, But then I woke up I was wondering where this post went? I guess it makes sense to be here. Well, I haven't had a chance to really race or anything, I am coming home from work a little late now and then, and my weekends are a little busy. My house has been falling apart in the past weeks, so my wife tells me But I'll be running at M&M Hobbies next Sat.(Wife is out of town ) So whoever here knows where it's at, let me know, we can bash around or make a small race. Wow, jerry, you got bumped up to moderater, cool. How's everything on your end, as far as your T-Maxx, if you still have it?

C'mon, I know there are more Houstonians than this.

He who doesn't post automatically forfits, and makes me the winner!!!!!!!

MexicanSpeed,
T-Maxx is sitting in limbo waiting for me to quit working so many hours. I need to replace the exhaust gasket and purchase more fuel. Plus since my son is on summer vacation he has been getting most of my attention. He likes driving my R/C vehicles except the T-Maxx. I think it is too loud for him. And there is no way I am going to allow a 5 year old boy run one of my R/C cars while I beat on T-Maxx. He tends to lean towards bumper car action if we drive at the same time. Like father like son I guess. Plus my Hornet is KIA right now since a person from this BB stiffed me on a complete rolling chassis that he was supposed to sell me. This was going to be my sons car.
Anyways, sounds like we both have been putting family and work ahead of R/C. Someday I will get to visit that track off of I-45 in person.
Jerry

Sorry I haven't been posting for a while. I've been to the track on I-45 south but I haven't race there. I have a B3 that I've never raced even though I've had it for 4 years. It's sitting in my closet collecting dust right now because I don't have a servo for it and I haven't been to the track lately.
What part of Houson are you from Mexican_Speed? I'm from west Houston. (I-10 & Highway 6)
I hope you can come down to Houston sometime Jerry because they have some great tracks like M&M, Performance Raceway, and the one on I-45 south.

Hey I know the area that you folks live. It has been an extremely long time since I have been to that side of Houston though. There used to be a hobby shop off of I-45 near Almeda Mall and one off of Fuqua rd in the same shopping center as Randals. There was also one off of Old Galvaston rd directly accross from the Base, now Ellington Field, but I know this one has since closed. Pearland had a track also. I know where the I-45 track is but where are the other ones you mentioned?
Jerry

No joke, I live in Southwest, Beechnut near Highway 6. Cool man Hey ever been to the one down on Chimney Rock, M&M Hobbies? I go there every now and then. I have an NXT that I run there. LMK, maybe we can go bash around or race there.

darn, this means I don't win unconditionaly,

One is down in Bellaire, TX. You know, the city with in a city.

There is another indoor track, no nitro on I-10 at Witte Rd., near Gessner. Performance Raceway.

Yeah, I agree Jerry, there used to be a boat load of Hobby shops, there used to be 5 very local shops in my direct area, but they just all gave in. Oh well, maybe one day we will all race there, and we won't even notice it ourselves

cool im a houstonion too, i live in sugerland and go to hobby center in clear lake!!!!!

I was in Bellaire visiting my father about two years ago, he used to live off of Maple, and noticed a hobby shop just down the road from the high school.
HPI Racer2,
What street is that hobby shop on? Is it near or on El Camino Real? Or Nasa Rd 1? Man I need to move back to Houston. I sure miss life in a "real" big city.
Jerry

Hey, HPIracer2, what part of Sugar Land do you live in. I live over here in Mission Bend. Ever go to R/C Hobby shop on 59???

C'mon guys, we know you're out there, don't be scared to come out and loose to me!!!

Just want to keep the thread alive!!!!!!

Sorry Mexican_speed I lost my internet there for a while. I know about M&M and I just moved so Performance Raceway abouit a 7 minute drive. Sorry I can't race you because I still don't have a servo and I just haven't had the time lately to get one.

Thanks

What kinda servo you lookin for? Yeah, I know how loosing your connection gets to you. The computer here at work, is FAST,(T1 connection) my home comp. is a different story. I don't make it out to Performance Raceway much, I got rid of all my elecs. and seem to be doing OK with nitro.

I'm trying to save up for a 1/8 gas buggy and I decided until I have the money for both the servo and car I won't buy either. I know it might sound stupid but that's what I decided.

Mexican speed

DID YOU GET THE EB-4??????????????????????

Not yet, I am getting a little worried about the deal, It's been about a week, and Gary hasn't responded to my e-mails or anything. I am really hoping that I didn't get burned on this deal. I sent him a very nice Losi NXT. Just have to wade it out for another week or so. Maybe jumping the gun, but I'll let everybody know.

Why did you want it???

Thinkin about it. Mannnnnnn I hope you don't get screwed.

Good Luck on the trade
Erik

Well, has been about two weeks and no show on buggy, I am fumed, but still keeping my cool. I really, haven't pressed the issue with Gary yet, but I am very close to doing so. If I don't hear anything on Monday, I will right it down in the Trader forum for all to see.

I'm thinking about buying a 1/8th buggy!!!

Might get the Ofna 9.5 (hasn't come out yet)

What engine did you get with the EB-4???

What is your e-mail mine is ErikTenPro2@aol.com

Erik

Hey killer, it is the TTR Pro.21. Check my profile for my Email. Hit me up maybe we can get together and bash!!!!

How do I check the profile??????

Hey guys, who wants to play with 1/8th scale buggies

I just got the buggy, and man is it sweet.

C'mon guys, I know you are there, you guys forfit the race??
