First body ive ever made for my ridgecrest, i think it turned out good

 

cool little rock area you have right by the house. i'd love to be able to crawl every day, sitting on the porch, with a beer by my side

 

That looks awesome. Amazing how much better it looks without the weirdly shaped stock body.

How are you liking it for crawling and such so far?

And it says WOOW BOOB.

 

I still can't figure out my power problem so I can't even crawl it's killing me those were just some poser shots

 

Damn You..

 

I never really looked into it much, iv always used rubber sealed without any issues.

 

Look what i got from my secret santa today, great start for my crawler build.

 

Summit kept up with a TRD Baja this weekend in a quick little drag race, at an off road charity event/competition. got the whole-shot, but the tacoma caught back up after i maxed out at top speed.

also outflexed a show car on the rti ramp

 

My axial scx10 trail honcho has shipped!! Along with a bunch of upgrade parts already

 

Picture of my Stadium truck from a race 2 weeks ago in Palm Desert.

 

Browsing ebay, found a brand new poison spider Wraith rolling chassis but no wheels's or tire's for $250+$15 S/H. Do yall think thats a good deal. The kits are going for like $260 and i know they have upgrades but ill be upgrading anyhow as i go. Thanks

 

Not RC cars, but I've got a Blade 120 SR that I've modded and rebuilt a number of times. Super fun to fly and very durable in crashes. Also, the learning curve is not as steep as collective pitch (or costly).

It does OK in a light wind outdoors, but when I get it way up there and a good breeze throws it out it has come crashing down before I could get control (may have been a radio issue as well due to distance). I usually fly it indoors but it will take out a tv.

 

Its was a RTR poison spider. I already have motor and ESC which thanks to my Secret santa didnt cost me anything really. Hi tec servo in the 180in/oz range $50, Spectrum 2 channel radio and reciever $50, and lets say $100 for wheels and tires. Thats $450 with a pretty good upgraded wraith over factory. Oh and ill need a pinion gear. Compared to $400 for a RTR tht will need upgrades.

 

psh

just bought a diamond for the lady....... major RC purchases on hold for a little

 

Theres like 3 left, it just has factory plastic stuff. http://m.ebay.com/itm/161102621378?nav=WATCHING&sbk=1
