new mod isn't all that....and that's pretty gay what happened to you Lambert

I like the new mod but after seeing what I've seen from the DMR mod thus far, I'm actually pretty excited for the swap for proline next season.. AND SRD isn't shit anyways Lambert. The kids over there have ruined the site and made it in to a 2nd Nascarnet. They've run off all the talented painters and good members. Not to mention the admins over their are now power hungry. I use to like that place to.

Ok, I've got a question about the ranking system now in play. With being a Vetern driver I'm only able to drive at SS's and 1.5s+? Does that apply to everyone? Like I know Brett and Brian are good at short tracks, and I'm decent at short tracks and pretty good at road courses. I'm just trying to figure it out...

I forgot to add one thing, sorry lol, veteran can also run full time, and your good to go for that.

Oh ok, thanks for clearing that up. I was wondering about that, b/c I was hoping to go for the championship this season.

15 bucks says within the first week he either breaks it or has no idea how to get it working in game.

i'll put money on him not geting it to work in game, seeing as he cant even get his microphone to work

Somehow found a way to get into ESPN3 without actually hacking into it, lmao. ESPN3 has a set list of providers that you have to have, and AT&T and Comcast are the only 2 listed providers you have to have that require you to sign into that email. So I made a free AT&T.net email and signed in with it on ESPN3, and it worked.

Might be useful for those who want to watch NHRA Live and ALMS Live, along with other sports.

Good evening everyone! I am on a laptop with pretty decent specs that I just bought from Fry's for a pretty decent price! I may be broke now, but hell it was worth it!

(Besides, I have pay check still needing to be put into the bank, I'm good for now )

Is it the G42 one you sent me a link to last night? If so, that's basically the same one I have, except mine is a G62 with a bigger screen, little bit faster processor, and little bit better graphics chip. I run NR2003 with everything on high and get 50-60 frames. You should be good to go.

Yeah Ian, it's the G42... So far I love it, took me a while to figure out the DEP stuff and the UAC stuff too... Last night I was having issues with the sounds for everything just being static, so far it seems like it's fixed, but not quite sure yet...

I ended up redownloading the driver for the sound card, so hopefully it's fixed lol

I had to redownload the driver for the wired network card on mine, as it crashed all the time and had to be reset. This one helped, but it still does it if I have TS up and i'm downloading something.

Well this is really starting to piss me off... I can't use TS because every sound just turns into static and nothing else... I've redownloaded the latest driver 30 times and restarted my computer and shit... Nothing is working, and I'm about to throw a major rage fit soon...

This is fucking rediculous, I bye this thing for $400, it should fucking work right... It's not like this past week hasn't already been enough stress and enough shit... -_-

rule of thumb, dont buy refurb computers

Gonna be picking this up tomorrow and getting it hopefully before the weekend to screw
around with it, got a nice pay check from my father for helping him move a shiton of tvs. lol.

Well R/C car racing season has officially started and I am psyched!!! I've been saving up money since Christmas to get back in the hobby, and I'm about there. Today after church I went to a local track and talked to the owners and few racers. One guy let me test drive his Losi XXX-SCT (the truck that I was looking to buy) and I fell in love. That truck handled so much like my old Losi XXX-T it wasn't even funny. But anyways, it took me about 2 battery backs to figure it all out again, but man was it fun. I even set the fasted lap of the day at the track and the owner told me that I have to go straight to the CORR 2WD Pro Stock class, which really made me feel good, LoL. I've almost $300 saved up and I need another $150 to get everything I need to start racing. And I can prolly save that up within 8 weeks, so come late April, I will be racing again! All in all, today was great and now I can't wait to get back into the first sport I fell in love with!

Aha nice, with the slash I still gotta upgrade the damn back shocks and springs and I should be set. Gonna order about 4 more lipos though for that and the buggy im purchasing. Dime a dozen for where I get the lipos. Got more stuff figured out today though at the track, was cold as balls but I was able to get the right gear setup tuned in. Got approved for the 2WD buggy class as well. Wish I knew what laps I was clocking in though since the transponder system hasn't arrived yet for racing. But everything was tracking ight. One thing that surprised me though was right infront of the damn drivers stand a SC lit up in flames after their lipo and ESC basically exploded.

Hey people, I'm back

See you made the trip over here. lol.

whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

just in time for baseball season eh? lol

Haha yup

I've probably spent $300 already on my Mini E-Revo plus the $150 is cost to buy it used. And they don't even have a Mini class here yet. Oh monies, where did you go.
