Thnx everyone for your input.

:bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

im confused...

im very sorry to hear that. :( please send our thoughts to your friend's family.


i eat sushi on occasion including unagi, and i always wonder the freshness.
the fish could be fresh, but what about the knives they use, etc? bacteria can become toxic rather quickly.

hahaha, i think there is truth to being exposed to illness and stronger immunity. :tup:

mr.alcheng- yah, not romantic at all. we were just kids too. :tup:

Man I had to look at that twice before I scrolled down and read the rest.:bowrofl::roflpuke2:

I must be missing something lol.. i dont get it..

:iagree:


yea.. the place we go is usually very clean... but it could be, I just have a stronger stomach then her? lol
:iagree::tup:

it's supposed to look like a very odd shaped boob is showing :tiphat:

You have to think like a dirty old man for a second.:tiphat:

Mrs.Isamu might have to take more Sake to sterile the sashimi... :icon17:


:tup:


:tiphat:


:iagree: LMAO!!!



mmm.... one of my R/C buddy talked with me over the weekend..... he told me there's the Canadian National R/C race is coming up in March near the Niagara Fall area, he is asking me if I interested to race..

Gonna be a 3-days race weekend while he can supply me with most of the equipments I need including the car/chassis.

Will talk with him later this week for more details...

It's an interesting and attractive offer.... :yum:

In case some of you think the R/C race car I'm talking about is like those in ToyRUs.... you can take a look at these...:

:tup:

btw, mr.alcheng- i LOL'ed at your edit of my post. :rofl2:

mr.alcheng- is that an associated kit? i use to race HPI cars in socal long time ago. :tup: i also had a associated touring car i think was called TC10 or something.

^best qiute of that movie

Ms.BC, I'm good at freeing the minds of others :tup:

dude thats flippin awesome!:excited:

Damn, I can't think of anything worse... My condolences.

That would be awesome Mr.alcheng. Let me know if you need anything. I have a few boxes of stuff... chargers, batteries, motors, cars... etc...

i sold my rc racing sedans but i have my tamiya kits still like alfa romeo, minicooper, etc.

what kind of motors and propo's do you guys use these days? the last time i checked the HPI site, they were running stick controllers like back in the 80's. lol :D

my motors are all non-brushless (old skool commutator type), 2000mAh NiCad, JRPropo pistol grip propo's.. i think it was called R1 or something. i dont remember.

you maybe correct, perhaps she needs to join the ranks of Sake royalty... :bowrofl::bowrofl: and that makes me wanna build a car...

cold sake and sushi (sashimi actually) is a dangerous mix. :yum:

Good eyes Mr.kenchan...!!

That is the newest associated kit TC6.1 :tup:

Socal host one of the biggest R/C race in the world during the Winter, we used to have lots of guys fly to there to race.. :tup:

I started off with HPI chassis too, one of the most popular choices at that time (about 15 yrs ago :icon17:)

Then I switch to Yokomo, nicely build but the turn-in wasn't shape enough...

Then I switch to the TC-3 from associated, shaft-driven tub-chassis. The shaft-driven design make the car the fastest on acceleration and straight line speed, the amazing thing is they manage to minimize the torque-steer from the motor since the motor was mounted longitudinally...

After the TC-3, I switch to the T-1 from XRAY.... then I "retired"....

It was so much fun....

We ran 8-9 turns double or triple motors.... friggni' fast.... :tup:

im still lost,....

:yum: I was crowned Sake King :tiphat: and now.. I am hungry for sushi.. :bowrofl::bowrofl:

I think this guy spent all of his money on the Lambo. Can't afford a winter beater...

Maybe the Lambo IS his Winter beater..... you know... AWD... :icon18:

mr.alcheng- nice! yah, now i remember. i had the TC-3 too from associated at the time. it had all sorts of problems when it was initially released and i remember the AE team handing out replacement parts at the track, especially the front arms that fractured for no reason. :tup: my main car was the Pro2 or something by hpi. was great in socal cause hpi, yokomo, associated, etc were all local and the team drivers would come out at times to not only kick our arses, but let us in on some of their setup secrets. :tup:

i had a 9 turn armature i bought in japan that i put together with one of my 7turn cans and i was able to churn out 7turn speed, but at the efficiency of a 9turn. so 3min modified racers were no issue even with the 2000mAh. i could go near 5min before dump. :D those were indeed great times.

my weekend was motor the santa monica canyons early am in my real car, then head over to socal to race rc cars in the afternoon. :icon17:

:icon18:

I always wanted to get into those HPI cars...

Or else he has so much money that he can afford a Lambo for a winter beater :icon17: I would assume he drives a Veyron during nice weather.

:iagree:

damn, must be nice to be rich. :tup:

In that case :tup: :driving:

:iagree: although it's really personal preference, a chief once told me sashimi should pair with cold Sake... :yum:


The TC-3, got a huge delay on its release at that time, mainly because the torque-steer issue from the motor... somehow they fixed the problem.

Before I retired the TC-3, the last race it participate was a 12-hours endurance.

Yup, 12-hours, from 12am to 12pm, with a stock motor.

We managed to won the first place, I forgot how many laps we were over the 2nd place but it was about 100+ for sure.... :icon17:

7 turns motor is crazy, but since you guys have the track which has a long straight-way... why not?? :tup:

And we run 5 mins race too, with the 8-9 turns..

dang... my hands are getting "itch" now.... :icon17::icon17:


Those are fun stuffs man.. and it can be complicate if you want to setup the chassis right... :tup:


I just text my friend about the details and prolly I will do a practice run in about 2 weeks, then we decide which class and which chassis to run... :tup:

mr.alcheng- dang on that 12hrs endurance race. :rofl2: wow, that's crazy standing out there for such a long time. how many drivers did you have for this race? :tup:

yah, the setups were pretty intimidating for the races. as you know even just tires we had to have all sorts of different compounds with different inserts inside...for concrete, asphalt, carpet, hot, cold, not so hot, wet?! :eekdance: :icon17: i can't see myself doing that again. it's a lot of work just to prep the car, batteries, motor.

i guess now days it's a lot easier with the battery and motor.. :confused:.. no need to discharge, no commutator to cut, etc. :confused:

Just received my EVO-R front/rear Z emblems :tup:

On a side note, I just checked the tracking number and it says no data available, same as it did last week when I ordered it.

sounds good, mr. jar :tup:

but the hells going on with evor's delivery side... :ugh2:

As long as I didn't pay extra for a useless tracking number, I have zero complaints. I ordered it last Friday, Jay gave me tracking number same day, and it just arrived today. As I said, no complaints from me :tup:

That def. sux. You never know in our world how long you have. My sister's husband died at 28 of a brain aneurysm. He was a paramedic but didn't take his BP meds. Evry day we have is a blessing.

Fire- that's terrible.. sorry to hear about your brother-in-law. :( that's got to be tough.

got a shower and now thinking bout what to do for dinner. Perhaps going to Panda resturuant (and sushi bar) or not , depends on what everyone else wants.... me? i want the Panda resturuant and sushi bar :tup:
