I am just seeing if there is interest and what kind for this. I am looking to trade this for body kit/pieces. I am not looking to give this setup away. If you go to put one of these together it would easily run you well over a grand ($1,000). I think it would wise to keep this private. So please e-mail me if you have an offer. Like I said I am just testing the water.

E-mail – jsheyn@cox.net , fasttiby@hotmail.com

If you live near me and want to make a driver over we could go out and run this sucker and let you see it’s speed. I have never had it radar tested, but I am willing to bet you can get it in the 60MPH pretty easy with gearing only. That is freaking fast. Other can tell you there car does 70 or 75 but 90% are going to be full of Kansas cow pie. Right now it probably does around 45 or so cause I have it set up for low end speed and quick throttle response for small race tracks where top end in not necessary











there is alot more althoug i gave my digicam to my sis and i do not have one anymore...although i am looking to buy a new one..so when i do i wll add pics of the rest of the stuff

expensive...oh it's not that bad considering how much we spend on our full size car.....

this sucka is 1/9th scale so take 1/9 of what we spent on our cars and it seems about right... tongue.gif

And damn bowling is not cheap either i got a buddy i swear has enought high dollar balls to make a nice rock garden...plus adding in how much each game is and shoes and beer and taxi ride cause you drank to much beer....bowling can get expensive too......LOL

yeah you guys are right it is expensive as hell, but it's a load of fun too...

Performance bowling ball - $150.00
Performance bowling shoes - $90.00
Games for practice - $1.50 (military base)

Rolling a perfect game when money is on the line - PRICELESS.

I don't drink when I bowl. wink

Performance bowling ball - $150.00

but you need one for
initial roll $150
spare $150
bling bling ball $150
crapball (backup) $ 1


Performance bowling shoes - $90

but your gonna need more than one pair
every day bowling pair $90
bowling parties shoes $30
a bling bling pair $100

Games for practice - $1.50 (military base)
but it's gonna take 5000 games to be able to get a perfect game

so 5000 X 1.50 = 7500

see even with military base proces on games bowling is still quite expensive

initial roll $150
spare $150
bling bling ball $150
crapball (backup) $ 1
every day bowling pair $90
bowling parties shoes $30
a bling bling pair $100
-----
$671
5000 games to get good $7500
-------
$8171

hearing the little dork behind the counter tell you how $much$ damage you've done over the weekend - priceess tongue.gif tongue.gif tongue.gif smile.gif

What the hell is a BLING BLING ball and BLING BLING shoes?

Party shoes? Do you like watching shoes like DESIGNING WOMEN? HAHAHAHA!

I have 3 performance bowling balls and 1 spare ball.

Shoes, they have interchangeable soles for different slide conditions.

One of those performance balls is my party Cosmic Bowling ball since it glows in the dark.

I prolly do spend quite a bit annually for bowling but it's spread out. I would never drop a grand on bowling equip. Well, maybe if I had just come back from the Gulf with a pocket full of tax free money. wink

I read "Party Shoes" and wondered WTF they were, I used to bowl a lot and never saw anyone with party shoes...?

I wouldn't mind having some Louis Vuttion bowling shoes though!!

Damn doo.....I thought you promissed you wouldn't let that out......

I guess this hoby is just not for you......oh well......Maybe try booger darts, pole sitting, or possibly butterfly collecting, all those seem like they might be inexpnesive.

OK OK party shoes are the glow in the dark bowling show like during rock n blow.......not your everyday bowling shoe

It's cool and all, but I don't get why you would spend over a grand on a basically fake car. And what is so bad about catching butterflies? I go catch them with my bling bling net and bling bling butterfly party shoes.
