It was a bit wet from the defrost last year, but if I can't run the road cars, I should be able to run the Ultimate for fun! Clintcart is going with his WRX and also planning on bringing his RC cars... It should be good![/QUOTE]
Glad to see your guys enjoy our cars up north! Please get plenty of pictures! Love both yours and clints cars.

Thanks Bandolero! Actually only one of them is a truck... The other two are more sedans. But I know what you meant ;)
Received some new boots for the Ultimate today.
Duratrax Lockups. They look to be similar in class as the Proline Badlands, which is basically an aggressive off road tire. Maybe just a step down from the pure spike of the Badlands. I think they should work pretty well as an all-rounder. I'll get them mounted up and take for for a rip.

very nice boots :thumbup:
Thanks Simon, they are a very nice tire. Of note the compound, C2, does seem slightly softer than the Badlands in nub flexion, it will be interesting to see how long they really last.

I had lockups a year or two back when I had my slash 2wd and didn't see much wear on dirt only.
Well then, we'll see how these hold up :)
So probably no Defrost for me this weekend. It's been raining all week, and is suppose to rain all weekend. I need to swap out a set of winter to summer tires and do a brake job on my Nissan X-Trail, so will end up doing that instead.
And finish painting Rally-2 :D
Has defrost been cancelled?....or just bcus?.....you still have your x-trail?......and yeah get painting pleazzzzzzzze......I wanna see some sexy body action :woot:.....maybe do it inside and get one of these?...
[url]http://www.airflow-group.com/spray-booth-extraction.html[/url] ...Lol.....only joking..or am I?.:thumbup:
No, Defrost is still on, I'm canceling on going. It snowed last night and this morning. Although its melted now its been raining all day, more tomorrow with snow and rain through the weekend. High of 7C. I just don't want to be caught out on the highway with the W speed rated tires and snow :eek:
Yes, I still have my X-Trail, as well as all my other cars... I just can find a reason to sell them and just enjoy them all too much :lol:
If the weather co-operates I could have some body action. I just put on it's second coat, but it needs a lot more.
Here is a taste of the action :D

:lol:
I like that booth and have been discussing booth design with my buddy. I would only need a smallish one with a fan to suck out the air through a window.
I stopped by my LHS during lunch today looking for some Tamiya paint. They didn't have the TS-31 color I looking for, but I did find something else....
A Proline Desert Raid Body! I've been after one of these for some time now, but was not in a panic to get one, it seems they will eventually come your way :D

I really like the tuned SUV style of this body with the large pronounced flares! My plans are to paint it up for the Ultimate, with a higher CG look to it, but then another part of me is thinking of it for my Rally-2. It will most likely be for the Ultimate.
Now if I can stop queuing up projects :D I can't seem to stop :lol:
Here is a finished Desert Raid

I knew it was coming after seeing the Bowler Nemesis thread.
You beat me to it good sir, oh well were trying to get the down state house ready to move into so I suppose the hobby will be limited to race weekend this summer.
Looking forward to seeing the paint work.:thumbup:
Yep, had to do it, it was like it was calling me :lol:
Summer is here and I have too many irons in the camp fire already, RC and non :(
I like this thread, partly because there's so much photos and it's fun to scroll through when you're bored, and they're all hd pictures! Keep them coming, and you should do this on a 2wd slash too!

Can't wait to see it painted! Your work is great! How were the SC sized badlands before you went 1/8th?
[QUOTE=traxxasvxlbasher;5718078]lol, i finished my finals in geography today. who, me or ViperZ??[/QUOTE]
I finished mine today, and summer break! Thank God, now I can focus on my rcs haha. And I was talking about vipers because he has nice trucks but not much filming. And wait do you have a YouTube channel or something?
yeah this is one of the nicest threads I have read. Work of art and very informative, nice dedication to rc

Lol, this is my last day of school and tests. Yeah, im gona foucs more on my rc's and join my local track for this summer. I have a youtube channel but i only have 5 vids and those were done in my winter break. This is my channel: [url]http://www.youtube.com/user/rcstuff2013[/url]
Hey, thanks for all your great words about my thread Guys!! :thumbup:
I will try to get more videos, I just wished I had the time to put into them for a more polished production :(
I really haven't had a lot of time to bash, but I certainly have had time to build as I have a few projects going, however I can;t post about them here as they are non TRX related. I will try to get the new body painted up, and or maybe some new action pictures and video.
Good job to you that finished your classes, I hope you enjoy your summer!
Traxxasvlxbasher, that's a cool looking Youtube channel, I'll be sure to check out, and get some tips :D

Sean, the SC Badlands are as good as their reputation, however I didn't get a lot of time on them before going 1/8th.

Alright just thinking too far ahead for when I start getting paid again in november. Worked out the understeer issue by messing with sway bar combos and got it lower to keep from traction flipping. My only problem now is that I only get power to the inside wheels, time for heavier diff fluid! What diff fluid are you running? I know I have a lot of questions lol. School is out so I should be way more active on here now.
Good to hear you fixed the understeer! I'm using 50,000 front and and back, not by design rather just because that's what I had on hand :lol:
It seems to work well enough for my bashing fests...
How's it going viper? No new updates lately, everything alright?
;)

He is still active on the rally forum so go over there if you want to hear from him. :D
Very nice build thread viper! Seriously makes me want to rethink every idea I've had. Very clean and well thought out.
How is the rpm light bracket holding up? I want to get it but I jump mine a lot and not sure how it will hold up.
Again amazing thread buddy! I'm also reading up on your rally build and now I want one of those :D
Apparently he's MIA again.It was June since his last post on this thread.Chime in so we can see what you have been up to!!!
[QUOTE=RiderZ;5758154]Apparently he's MIA again.It was June since his last post on this thread.Chime in so we can see what you have been up to!!![/QUOTE]
He has only been off the forum for a week and a half, as I said before he is much more active in the rally forum as this build is pretty much done.
[QUOTE=ViperZ;5553334]Its funny how my parts arrive pieces at a time... I received 1 pair of the 3 pairs of ST Racing Concepts Aluminum Beadlock rings I ordered. The orange ones I had to buy a separate pair form a different seller to get a set of 4. I also received the replacement chassis for my HPI Sprint 2 Flux, so will start fixing that today. But before I get started, I wanted to see how the rings would look. So because I like taking pictures, you guys know the drill.
I though they would look good with the Robbie Gordon body

They are real beauties! I know they won't stay that way, but oh well!

I like them, I like the Pro-Lines too, but a person needs a change of pace
[img]http://s6.postimg.org/hxpfmv741/DSC_6648.jpg[/img]
I need another paint scheme like this

It's been a year, how are the STRC beadloc holding? are they better than the stock pro-line?
This was such a great thread...too bad it ended.
If you still read the forum ViperZ, your builds are all amazing!
Wow...just flipped through this entire thread. Holy bajeezus these are sweet!
