All packed up
And here is what the bench looks like now.
Only got the rustler cause I don't have slicks for it for the clay track yet.
Haven't ran it since October when I tried to race it in carpet for the first time, that wasn't so good.
Haven't bashed around in a very long time.
Took off my Traxxas clear "bomb pop" body as the rear body mount off the body is all cracked up and it won't stay on the mount anymore via a body clip. Got out the stock body which is surprisingly in very very good shape. Don't have any rear spoilers or wings tho, I broke both of them. Previously had the carpet tires on. Decided to put the chrome anaconda tires/wheels back on. Looks like it is stock from the factory again, but minus all the upgrades. I am bored out of my mind so I'll go out and bash tomorrow. Might bring it to the grandmas house on Tuesday to run it there, only if there is no rain in the forecast.
Should be fun to rip around stock again.

I do not have a front bumper currently. Had a RPM wide bumper on it, but where the screws go in to the bulkhead, the bumper cracked and then snapped. The bulkhead (RPM) is gonna get beat up. Have a OEM replacement in the parts bag for when I do get a new bumper. Just got to remember to not ram into stuff. 🤣
 
I was about to get dressed and ready but it just started raining 😡
 
If it ain't raining... we ain't training!

Come on, man!

Put on a poncho and go have fun it the mud!

:joyful:
 
Took out the rustler today, 3 batteries. Street bashing and some speed runs, my gps didn't want to work today.
The batteries I ran were the bad ones, about the discharge them and get rid of them. On one battery, one of the balance leads ripped out of the case so it won't charge properly. And on the other one, the cells were unbalanced by .3 volts.
