My wife and I have a pair of Yami VX110's. We didn't want to spend a bunch of money on a pair of skis so these are what we went with. While not terribly fast (GPS at 53), they get the job done and are a ton of fun. Yes, falling off at speed can really mess you day up. If you like forums, check out PWC Today. It has a bunch of good info on it.

Hunting(Pig and bird) and fishing. I get the ATV involved as much as possible. Still can't force myself to take the truck in the mountian though.

hmmm. . lets see. . .I have a collection of Guns: Ruger SBH 10mm .38-40 convertable, Ruger SBH .44-40 .44mag convertable, HS nickel plated 9shot .22 revolver, Marlin lever .22, Stephens 311A 20ga, Browning 12ga.

I also have two T-maxx nitro r/c trucks. my big boy will do the better part of 45mph. the other I have some issues with and can only muster 35mph.

then I'm speding most of my time fixing up the house that has been neglected for a few years; plumbing, electrical, yard drainage issues and the such. you can call me a jack of all trades

Can't seem to keep mine running. Been sitting in the closet for a year now, everytime it try to get it running I just get pist and have to go to the range before I break it even more. I've rebuilt the carb and the engine with no luck.

Drew,

Its no wonder you love Nitro RC cars! Mini Diesels! Woot.

I actually gave all my RC stuff away before I moved into the new house. I had too much BS and wife was threatening. I could not believe how expensive of an hobby Nitro RC cars were. Taught me a lot about compression driven motors though. I had a nack for suppling too much gas at time of start, requiring me to pull the little glow plug.

The funny thing is shortly after getting my CTD, I could swear the exhaust smells exactly like a nitro RC car.


Steve,


If you have your hunting license and want to go, we go hog hunting and Pheasent hunting every year. We take hogs down on a ranch south of King City and Pheasents up by Sasson (sp?).

Jake, your fuel has got water in it, I had the same issue a while back and poped the top on a new jug of 20% and I was popping wheelies in 2nd gear

yea, they are kinda like mini diesels, they carry over alot from both gassers and diesels in that they are compression ignition, however they also suck the air and fuel in instead of it being injected in.

I'll have to go pick up another gallon of fuel then and give it a try. Should I be running 20% or 30%???

if youve been running 20% stay at 20%. unless you want to do alot of tweaking with the low and high speed needles on the carb.

mayfair. . .I would do everything to that chick. . .yup. . .I would wreck her
