    Well, gonna spend lots of time with my toys in the back yard and out at Rainbow bike trails...maybe rebuild/Mod here and there...





    have upgraded most parts to RPM plastics, swapped bodies out from stock to both of the 9$ ones on the Slash and Stampede, custom bumper/skid plate on the Stampede...still working on converting the mini rock crawler to scale, but haven't decided on what body will do...thinking of getting rid of the Stampede, monster trucks aren't my thing, but was fun building her up:)

    Ive always wanted to get into nitro RC cars! Build my dream car in 100th scale, 68 el camino. Can become an expensive hobby.

    Sweet! I have a lot of RC stuff (traxxas) I'm wanting to get rid of. I started with a nitro sport, then a rustler, then a stampede. Combined a lot of it to make one car, and now want to sell everything, haven't touched it in years, no point keeping it. It was a ton of fun but too time consuming for me.

    My winter projects other than some work on the bike is work on the house(mainly the garage).

    I to have a little R/C project of mine
    It's a tamiya sand rover re release, that I'm working on, so it looks a little more like the older one, and more like a vw buggy
    how it was out of the box

    first assembly

    how I want it to sit, just need new shocks and a little body work

    is just a new project to join all the other ones

    nice buggy...all my RC's are electric, got out of nitros when I sold my old, old, old American Revolution Mantis fixed pitch 40 heli...made in San Marcos back in the day before a small airplane crashed into it, burned the building down and put the company out of business:(
    started flying electric helis, the HoneyBee King II's had three of them, moved onto Trex 450 clones and traded both of those helis for the Slash 2wd, but the guy had no idea what he had under the hood...the clones cost me $37 for the complete frame, after servos, motor, esc and batts, maybe totaled to $125 into each heli. $29 for cnc main rotor and tail parts were awesome, couldn't see paying for Align parts, got all my parts from hobbypartz.com, xheli.com, helidirect.com and now for the trucks NitroRCX.com...hobbyking is another source for parts.
