Ice Road Monster Trucker

[CertifiedMike]

The track here is only open in the winter to the heartiest and bravest of drivers...

Its been killing me. The path I snow blow around the house has been melting and went from "too narrow and frozen" to "nice track width but total swamp".
Well, today it is the right width and ALMOST frozen!!!
The Granite isn't done sooooo....

The Gorgon was a TOTAL BLAST out in the mud and on the snow!!!
It sunk in and got stuck a couple times where the snow was melty but otherwise it just RIPPED!!!

The paths melted away so some were narrower than others. Downed tree branches from this eind storm we are having make for good obstacles!

Totally stock. This truck is AWESOME!

Glad you were able to get some RCing in!

Gotta agree, Gorgon is a fun rig! Glad it got to go out and play, they hate being cooped up for to long.

I've been building and plotting and planning for months now. Its about time I got out there to try and remember what exactly it is this I've been working on for so long!
I might actually cry when the Mid finally hits the track!
I am not far away from fixing the Granite either.
It was fun to unwind and just hammer in the mud, ice and snow!!!

I know the feeling, I don't get to play nearly as much as I would like to. Couple weeks ago our outing was awesome and it's been raining on and off since then, Don't know how long before the mud clears up enough to head out again.

We still have a few days of melt and a few more to dry out if we get no more rain. Even then I think we will have a mushy lawn for a bit.
I need to stop running on it and plant some grass so it stops washing down the hill!
Does anyine make a seed spreader attachment yet?
6s I should be able to do the whole lawn in under 4 mins!
I hope you get a break for some run time soon!
1 more reason to buy a few crawlers to run up the Xmas tree next winter!

My mini crawlers are what keep me somewhat sane, not sure I've actually ever qualified as sane.

As a certified member of the certified community, I'm pretty sure you're REAL close to being certifiable!

Thanks bro!!! Me too!

Got another 2 packs in this morn. Just wrapping up now actually.
Had to bring the truck inside to thaw.
Muck froze to the chassis, arms and bumpers. Compressor WON'T clean it off!!!

 

[CertifiedMike]

Compressor blew off the big chunks. A bit of silicone spray and a micro fiber cloth got all but the hinge pin and hub areas. Used the kids toothbrush for that job!
All de-muckified and ready for another run across some FUN terrain!!!
While the snow is frozen enough to run over top of, the yard and the mud in the 'track' has been a BLAST!!!
I hope my electronics agree!!!

I will def do a better track layout next winter!!!

Makes me appreciate our weather all the more.

Makes me appreciate our weather all the more.

This is the first time I really ever dared to run in this mess. I was more worried about snapping brittle frozen parts in the cold.
Too much snow pushed me all the way back to now.
If I blow up the stock electronics, oh well.
I have a motor and esc already. Will prob buy a cheap radio for this truck and upgrade the servo at the same time.
I don't 'abuse' my rc's or run in mud, sand etc... but this was too much fun to not do again!

 

[Doom!]

@CertifiedMike I can't believe how clean it looks! So what do the kids teeth look like?
Have fun!

Oh I have no idea what they look like. I have selective OCD.
As long as the RCs are clean and in nice, even, straight rows of 3, I can sleep fine!
