How goes it? Any progress with your backyard course, now that winter is past? We got moved in to our new home, just a few weeks before Christmas, and then had to wait until spring to mow down all...
This is really growing on me, but I must reduce my collection by at least 2-3 trucks in order to get one. That orange/white model looks magnificent!
Congrats on the relocation! I grew up in KY, outside of Louisville, just a couple hours south. Have you eaten at Cracker Barrel, yet? I miss that place. Enjoy the rest of the chilly winter and...
Thanks. I was planning to do a scratch build, also, and still have all the parts, but I think I'm going to pass on that, and sell both the project parts and this RTR. I found myself just wanting to...
Cheers. Let the long winter proceed with all speed, so that spring will arrive and new RC adventures thrive.
From a standing distance, it won’t be too noticeable. Just don’t take close-up photos, or with the sun directly shining on it.
I ordered the new Pro-Line 1965 Land Cruiser body for my Defender,...
Building a custom Telluride has been on my to-do list for the past two years, but life and other things have consistently gotten in the way. Recently, Traxxas posted up on FB about a limited-release...

Just got moved into our new home, where there's a nice big grassy hill for a backyard. I think I'm going to get some Badlands MX28's for my VXL Skully.
Thanks! Yeah, I've tried not to think too much about it, because you never know how things will go, but each time I do think about it, it involves wheeling a truck in some way or another. haha! I...
I tried to build a scale crawler course in the woods up at my in-law's place, but we just don't get up there frequently enough, and much of it gets overtaken with nettles and whatnot. Sooo....

The Rustler 4x4 will make a great road-warrior, and since I run on the streets more than any other surface, it looks very favorable, even more so than a Slash 4x4 LCG, because the shorter wheelbase...
That sounds pretty punchy! I'm liking this truck more, now with the added power. I have GTS shocks in the rear, and will have the fronts upgraded to GTS in the near future. Once my axles snap, I'll...

Thanks. It sort of looks like an eRevo with that bulldog body, which is kind of cool, but, because it’s mounted so low, it often hinders a proper rollover, and gets stuck on its lid. That 2400KV is...

Update:
Got a little motivation to upgrade the motor & esc on my P4de, and decided to use a Castle 1415 2400KV sensored motor, paired with a brand new Castle MMP, which I had purchased over a year...
The Sport looks like a good model to put a sensored brushless system into, so that you can have a broad range of speed, without losing low-speed crawling capability. I've read and listened to many,...
Thanks!
No biggy. On a side note, I do own a pair of Pro-Line Super Swamper 2.8's but have never used them. I bought them to put on my Stampede 4x4, but never got around to it. They look...
Funny...I have a hard time not deconstructing a perfectly good RC, apparently, since I bought a brand new RTR SCX10 II Deadbolt a few weeks ago and immediately changed the wheelbase to fit another...
One year later! I suppose it's an appropriate time to make an update, especially since the Skully-Pede has gotten some attention recently. A few months ago, I was bashing the Skully at a local...
There are still quite a few affordable 2-pole brushless motors you can run with that esc, like most of the green Tacon cans, sold from HobbyPartz. If you're interested, I'll sell you the lightly...
Looks like this thread has been overdue for an update.
Up until a couple weeks ago, I'd been using my old Axial Deadbolt body (you can see a video of it, here), but I trashed it, after trying to...
Very unique RC playground!
