    I think I may have found myself a new hobby :)

    Question is, should I spend $500 on a Prinsu Rack or $500 on an RC Rock Crawler...

    (I really like the Axial SCX10 II with the Land Cruiser LC70 Body painted in quicksand)

    Rc cars can be just as expensive to build .. my slash 4x4 has about 500$ into apart from the 500 it cost me , but my shit is fast when i run it on a 5C battery .. its on a 1/8 scale motor

    So I decided to mod the Mini 8ight-t a bit. Bought an Exotek big bore motor mount, Traxxas VXL motor, some different gearing combos etc. Also a few other small things for it. Anyways, here is the truck with the motor mounted. You can even still see it with the body on, which is pretty cool.

    Holmes just makes a great esc... the drag brake is like no other. It will hold something on a 60* angle like nothing
