Hopefully, I'll completely follow thru on my goal

Just be like me and treat it like a certain adult activity, and just plead relentlessly until she can't take the annoyance any longer and caves.😁

In my continued goal to revive all the old rc, today I ran the Wraith. This is one vehicle with no damage to report. Just popped in a 2S and crawled around the back lot. Forgot how much fun the Wraith is! I'm pretty sure the Predator is happy to get off the shelf and hit the trail again as well...

The Earthquake is down, but the 1/8 Xceed Madwarrior is up and running again. I know this truggy had a broken A arm, but apparently I had fixed it, even though I don't have any recollection of doing so. In any case, it's a pleasant surprise. The Madwarrior is running well for being shelved for...

Well, I didn't get a chance to swap around the wheels. After about 10min of running laps around the dirt track, a grinding noise started by the rear diff on high throttle. Don't see anything obvious, so I'll have to pull it apart to see if I can figure out what's going on.

I just Googled it, and they are facing the other way. I'm still going to try them in both directions to see if I can tell any differences.

Hmm I never even have it a thought. Next time I'm at the track, I'll run it initially as is, then swap them around after a battery change. I'll see if it makes any difference in handing.

Finally got the EQ to the track today, and it did rather well. It handled much better than I thought it would. It was fun driving it around, but I did a number on the body though. I think I should be able fix it. If not, the Warhead body is going back on.

Not everything. Just nearly everything sitting on the chassis. Lol. There's one servo screw that sits under a portion of the motor mount. Then there's are 3 brackets that sits over the motor mount and the entire drivetrain. The electrical box sits on top of the brackets. Yep, PITA!

I spent a couple of hours tonight replacing the weak, stock servo on the Earthquake with a much stronger servo from an MGT 8.0. I'm planning on reviving this nitro beast at some point in the future as well, but they be another story. This Redcat Earthquake was not engineered, with easy...

Thanks, Man! Alive via a jolt of 4S electrical energy! ☣️

The body is super clean, and that is because it was never used. When the truck was running, I was using a used Duratrax Warhead body that I already had on hand.

More than 10 years ago, my Redcat Earthquake 8.0 sustained some damages, and had been collecting dust on a shelf since then. I've recently returned to the hobby, and have set out to resurrect all the vehicles the have been damaged and have since been in hibernation. About 8 of them, I believe 🙄...
