buggy bash!

Ah its sunday! a great time to be outdoor again. After church session, i went out for full blown breakfast, pick up my friend and away we go at out to the local off-road race track outskirt of town at 10.30am. Morning was hot, the sky was blue and clear added with pure white flaky clouds. We're carried load of equipment into the track and pit our self on our nitro r/c buggy for preparation to bash around the circuit. Our adrenalin fired up in seconds after we start our engine and hearing those tempting high reving nitro engine pump up those high pitch sound like F1 engine and the smells of methane smoke in the morning. We push our little machine around the track, we punch in the throttle, hit the bump and jump as high as we can. It feels like it hang on in the high in the mid air like a minutes. Certain time it jump as high as 1 storey building and landed perfectly on the dirt like stunt dare devil. That was awesome. Then we race side by side spewing huge amount of dust and leave trails like dusty sand storm. It went on and on till afternoon. The amount of people turn up from three to more than 20 racer. The track getting more crowded and the adrenalin pace was a huge rush. Sweats, scorching heat of the sun, sunburn, high pitch screaming noises of the engine, the smell of methanol smoke and voices of people shouting and cheering getting more and more. At the end by 6.30pm eveyrthing slows down as everyone brought their r/c buggy/truggy machine back to their pit for services, packing and ready to leave. The track owner and owner of our favorite local hobby shop Mr. Foo of Foo Brother Hobby Shop was their giving full support both technical and moral to the racer. Also would like to thank Skydark of Mcnet for the drinks. Anyone i was covered in dust and ready for a cool bath. What a day well spent!

Nitro power

After been playing for weeks finally i really love how this nitro fuel powered 1/8 scale r/c buggy off-roader performed. Not as staggering fast as my 120km/h 1/18 scale touring but this one have huge torque enough to fly over my head when hiting the bumps. Cheaper parts replacement but very oily maintenance work. Few months before the international race/competition i have to sharpen my skills more to keep up with most of the racer. The sounds also really good too. Another good reason for being outside the house all the time. Another unboring activity yet make more new friends too.

Terrible week..

Was horrible week past few days ago, fever, cough, flu, sore throat...then again bad weather, especially last two days where my PC ethernet card hit by unknown electric surge which kill my on board LAN card and disabled my DSL internet connection....really made me angry. I have to pull out slow mo notebook internet connection which keep me at slow pace when browsing. So yesterday spent another cash on new Network card and also burn my pocket on my father fuel guzzling TOYOTA which totally cost me $100 just wthin a day travelling for such PC card, $100?? man i could spent something more usefull. Damn it..... really made me damn angry. Nowadays fuel price crisis and food price going sky rocket, It really made my life worse. Money doesn't fall from teh sky like i used to think when i was a kid. Yeah! yeah!. life is something awkward at random times.
