Thank You

For everyone that didnt know i posted a thread a month back asking for
E-Stampede parts. Bacially I run out here in PA with a few buddies and we have kind of made our own little club for those that are around where I live ..
Since I have the most property i host the meetings and bashing. We all have children ... Mine are the oldest and my son has a great interest in monster trucks.. Logical choice i get him a stampede ... Since i have had 1 or 5 since they came out and i know how tough they are.. My son then found a best friend. His family doesnt have the most money in the area but the kid really loves R/C ..... He and my son would take turns running my sons stock Stampede .... They love doing it together .... But you know 2 8yr olds and 1 truck .... Not a good combo ....
Well since the holidays were moving up on us faster than I could imagine and I comming off spine surgery and being out of work myself I knew I had to do something to get this kid a Pede of his own .. His parents knew about it but could do nothign to help .. His family didnt beleive that he needed and or knew how to use a hobby scale R/c or would like it or even knew how to take care of it . After having them over to watch him run it they felt a lil odd because they knew they couldnt get him one .. I then made a plea to the forum here ..... Posting a need for as many Pede parts as i could get... Callin my newest project Project Eli ....

In true RCCA Zone fashion you guys came through for Eli.. This thread is thanking all the people making this truck possible .... These come in No order at all . Each one of these fellas have sent stuff for nothing in return to make sure that new blood in this hobby has something to learn on ..... All of them deserve more credit than a few pargraphs can do them ...

SliverWolf ... For the fantastic chassis it was a HUGE PART OF THIS PROJECT
the chassis arrived in awsome shape with some RPM parts and some electronics ...... Thanks a million SilverWolf ......

Ben06... For the great ESC . We couldnt have completed this project without your help ......

IMTAT2ED .. He sent us a boss pair of shocks and springs a few Bashing bodies (learning curve ;) great idea ) and some velcro that made attaching all this stuff really easy...

Z-Man280 .... You give soo much to this hobby... Thanks for the radio and rx as well as the gears and shock parts ..... I hope you dont get tired of being called THE MAN ... We seem to hear that alot where Ron is concerned ....

People not on RCCA Zone forums that helped out greatly ...

Tony (Riggatoni) my machinist ..... He got us ceramic sealed beaings for this project .... Now i need to score some for my own ride :cool:

Boney John ... For the extra batteries and the charger .... Thanks am bunch buddy ... Youll still never outrun me :D

And last but certianly not least JimmyPPunk ... washers and every spare part youve replaced on your Pede went directly to this project ... Your great man ..... Thanks for taking more time to teach this kid how to pilot an R/C ....

We are hoping to give him this truck for Christmas as soon as it is done being put together . Soon after then Pics will be posted of the truck .. I would like to just say thank you to all of you fellas that made this possible ... You people are a true credit to this hobby and a welcomed addition to this board ..... If you ever find yourself in NE PA and are in a need to bash please dont hesistate to stop by and break your stuff :eek: in my backyard ..... :D Thanks again to everyone .... BIG Vinnie

Ron your not allowed to stop building and fabricating until that dang project Slidwayz is done .. If your not doing that then get to painting .... Oh and find some time to eat too .. Sleep is overrated buddy .. Thank you again for your donation to the project ;) ...

[dustyRC10]

Great story, and thank you to all you guys with hearts and gave what you could . Thanks for being great people

[BIGDADDYV]

We are just in need of some 2.2 tires to go on the stocker rims that Ron sent us .... OH and some motor screws if i dont get to the hobby store . LOL.... Other than that the kid is ready to bash .. judging by the looks of it the weather should be PRISTINE for the unboxing ... So i think with any luck and a lil patience he will have it dirty the first day ......
Thanks for all the bumps up fellas .... I really hope great things happen for all the guys that came through on this project .... As for the rest of you too .... Gary, we cant wait to have your LIL-one withus here on the forums ..... WHo knows he may be helping out someone just like this one day soon ...
