Yeah the Craftsman McPherson style spring compressors are invaluable when changing springs. Thats the same set I have and Ive done a few xBs with them...

im trying to sell some ____ i dont use anymore to get some money for ____ i do want, so with much regret im thinking about selling my beloved traxxas e-maxx. its an electric twin motor monster truck RTR. it requires 2 (yes 2) 6 or 7 cell battery packs to operate and a battery charger, both not included. the ONLY problem with the truck is it has a broken front driveshaft but you can buy 4 on ebay for a dollar. the truck is bone stock except for some gunmetal plastic pro-line wheels, and it has only 1 deans connector soldered to the speed controller. you would have to either solder a deans connector on the other battery plug or put a tamiya connector back on. i recommend the first option.

it includes the 3 channel radio, the truck and the original body. im asking $250. local pickup only.


i also have a used duratrax intelli-peak peaking charger with dual rate discharge function. it has 2 cooling fans on the unit but one doesnt work, but the charger itself works great. it has variable charge rate and cycle options. i paid $100 for it new, im asking $55.

pics soon.

anthony and petey and who ever else might be interested. a couple of us PA kids are going to take a drive to SONIC in Ehprata, PA on Saturday to get some food and then we were thinking of either going to a drive-in movie or finding a regular theatre to see Clerks 2. If you want, you can join us. I think we'll end up getting to SONIC around 5-530pm to eat and then figure out what to do afterwards. Send me a private message with your phone #'s if you want to come and need more info.
