    Sold the RTR Venom VMX450 today. Surprised it went as high as it did. Got over $400 for it on ebay. CC-01 landcruiser kit brought in $150.

    As far as prerunners go.... (and oahu terrian)...

    I'm getting bored of my summit.. everything I throw in front of it, curbs, stairs, other "obtainable" stuff it just cruises over... with my pede it's more of a challenge... that kinda sums it up for real trucks too huh??? Lol..lol..lol..

    my maiden voyage to Peacock Flats felt like a minor acomplishment... was it a bore for the rest of ya'all?? Lol..

    Yeah, it gets boring. The summit will never crawl like real rock crawler tho. My ax10 climbed a coconut tree about 20' up till it got vertical and flipped over. Luckily it was high enough I had time to catch it :D
    If you bored with bashing, the answer is speed and a racetrack. For me, doing lap after lap trying to improve never gets boring. Even if it's just a few cones and a chalk outline.

Kokohead so far away... only so much you can clean and strip before you just want to shoot...

    First custom part made! :D
    So I noticed that the front diff has a pretty beefy top brace on it.
    [​IMG]
    And the rear diff has absolutely nothing! It has the roll cage that connects to the rear bumper/wing mount, but its not enough to brace the frame, and its pretty bendy here...
    [​IMG]
    So I made this today! 5/32" thick 6061 aluminum.
    [​IMG]
    Had to get new screws from hardware store tho.
    And its a perfect fit! :cool:
    [​IMG]
    Nice and stiff and not in the way of anything :cool:
    [​IMG]
    Should have been like this from the factory! I might cut a 45* at the front to clean it up a little and paint it black.

    Got some in today. Atleast it runs properly now. as in 4x4 :D
    Actually, it runs great now that the brakes are working right, and all 4 tires have brakes and power.

    No, open diffs with some crazy sticky diff lube. The thickest I have is 30K weight, and it's not even close to what was in there. It makes it like a limited slip diff. I think the summit is the only vehicle with remote locking diffs. My tamiya crawler has a set screw plug that can be removed, and you insert a threaded pin into the diff to lock it. The redcat chimera is a sand rail anyway, not a crawler. More for speed :)

    When I put the diff locker in my Savage I didn't notice much on pavement or in grass, but it seemed to get stuck a lot less in sand. It will still unload sometimes though. I think its worth the $6 if you don't have lockers :D

    Got some monster 3s lipos in the mail today, and made some 316L reinforcement rings for my diff outdrives. They are pressed on with a .001 interference fit.

    So hopefully, this wont happen again...

    Still haven't sold the Summits yet, but I haven't been trying very hard.
    Right now I'm torn between getting (for my daughter) the new Axial Yeti, or the Vaterra Twin Hammers.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ktkg7qahDL4
    Twin hammers is a little smaller, and has brushed motor, so its a little slower, plus has two speed gearbox that is switched from the remote. So better for my daughter. Plus it comes with a real Spektrum DX3.
    Value wise, the Axial Yeti would be better cause it comes with a great brushless motor, is a little bigger, and has an optional 2 speed gearbox.
