got the truck out today and it ran really well. didnt really have to adjust much and it was screaming. I'm gonna get the back up truck out and tinker with it but my good truck is just that, GOOD

is it summer yet?

Found this on the Applied Machete Blog

This is Irish Rich's blog and he has a Von Dutch Monday. This was posted a while back and I thought I'd share.





Ok, how cool is this? A roller skate powered by a nitro- burning 2 stroke engine. Just your average '50's girl's steel wheeled sidewalk roller skate powered by a .23 ci. engine, that turned 13,000 RPM according to the letter Dutch sent Hot Rod magazine that showed up in their Nov. '55 issue. You'll notice that in the specs Dutch painted on the skate, it says 1,300 RPM. Dutch said the ignition was via glow plug, and the engine had a counterbalanced, double ended crankshaft mounted in ball bearings. The rear wheels mounted directly to the crankshaft ends. Holy cow.

This thing actually worked. Somewhere I have a photo of Von Dutch tearing down the street on the skates, with a teather string for a throttle. I can't find it right now, but when I do, I'll post it up for you to see.

Some people have said that both the pair of skates were powered, but Dutch only powered one of them. That was how you "stopped" yourself - when you had scared yourself silly on them, you raised the powered skate off the ground to "stop" yourself. Sidewalk cracks must have been a bitch!

The Maxx is done

Got to run it today for a little bit and it seemed slow as shit. I need to tune the motor and get it going better. My glow plug igniter battery died so i couldn't run the truck after the tank ran out. But I'm happy that it runs and is done.


I afro engineered the battery because I put the receiver into the battery box and plan on getting a hump pack, so I threw this one on and ran it.

New Pipe

So, funny little story about the pipe. After i posted on here at 12:30 am, i decided i was going to check the tracking info and find out when my pipe would be here. So i checked it and it said delivered. So being 1am and im wide awake i decide to go check the mail and there it is. So needless to say i could have had my new pipe installed about 9 hours ago when i got off of work if only i would have checked the mail, but its on and let me know what ya think. I got it off Ebay for $ 22.99 with free shipping. So $23.00 to your door. Not bad if you ask me. If anyone is interested in getting one let me know and i'll send you a link or get it for you if you dont have an ebay account. I ordered it monday, my payment cleared tuesday and i had it friday, so its super fast shipping also. He has it in Red, Blue , Purple, Brushed , and polished all for the same price. Its made by dynamite and everyone else had it priced anywhere from $40 to $55 so ur not gonna beat this price for a nice exhaust pipe.

Joe's Truck

Trucks looking good kirby. Whats left, or is it ready to run. I ordered a pipe for my truck a few days ago off of ebay. It was $22, free shipping. When i get it and get it installed i'll post pictures and let anyone interested know exactly what the listing was in case they want to order one. I'll post pictures asap

Trucks Fixed And Ready to Bash

what do you think

losi with 10th scale body

check out all that RPM stuff, High Roller. Are you sponsored by them or what? haha Just joking, you're truck is looking good and your smart to buy the RPM stuff instead of buying stock shit and replacing it over and over again. From my experience RPM is some of the best stuff you can buy. Next you need the RPM wear/skid plates, i have them and recommend them highly

Got Some parts in the mail yesterday

Not too bad I just need a hump pack battery, and an exhaust gasket and I'll be ready to run the Maxx.

Did Greg win jackass of the month for November, is that why he's on the home page. haha

roll cages

i just wanted to state i dont think i like roll cages so if your thinkin about gettin 1 or makin 1 i wouldnt cause if you flip the truck it pinches the antenna between the ground and roll cage and cuts it right off. that has happen to me twice. just wanted to let you all know what i thought about the roll cages.

just a few close shots of my engines

this is my picco .26 this dude is bad when i have it going right its always something with this truck

this is my newest it is the 2.5 R and this thing cooks im runnin 30% nitro in this one

and this is my 2.5 bashin truck it is all stock with a cooled head

homade dual exaust

the guy i got my latest maxx from made this exaust out of pipe fittings

B.Y.T Poll

I have been dicking with my exhaust all day and I can't decide on how I want my pipe.so I'll get your opinion.



I made this exhaust out of the spare .15 head pipe I had and the pipe Craig sent me. I like It because it allows me to lower the body down more, but I will have to get an exhaust diverter thingy to get the raw fuel out of the truck. I don't like it because it will get the truck dirtier than the other pipe.





This is the pipe that came on the truck and it exits out the back and will keep the truck clean but it is real high and won't let me get the body down where I would like it.



So leave a comment and tell me which one you would run and why. or tell me what pipe I should buy or what pipe your gonna send me.

and it took me about 5 min to do this

it ripped the glued tire right off the rim so i broke a rim and ripped off the antena (gay)
