Ding, ding, ding!!!

Now, are you guessing blue, or would you care to gander a different color?

 

[TRAT]

My favorite color is red so I hope so

That was my guess and I want one myself. Awesome looking rig..

I've really been bitten by the scale crawler bug! Picked up a Redcat Gen8 V2, and ever since really haven't had a need for speed. The Arrma Granite and Slash has seen much action. Not that I'm done with it, just loving the scale crawling thing at the moment. I'm certain I'll get that itch for speed again, soon enough.
Anyway, a month after spontaneously picking up the Redcat, I just ordered up another scaler. Just got it this morning.

Let's play, guess what's in the box.

Clue: got it from Amain Hobbies

I'm suffering from crawler envy, and the SCX10 is the reason. Congrats...

I wished! I would have been all over that!

The SCX10 Jeep was my second choice after my Sendero HD.

 

[Xraycer]

Of the 3 available colors for the RTR, this color just called to me!

[Doom!]

I'm jealous.

The SCX10 Jeep was my second choice after my Sendero HD.

I think your choice was just fine. That Sendero is sweet!

 

[Xraycer]

I did a short run with it today, and it is impressive! Much smoother than the G8V2, and I didn't feel that its top heavy at all. I hear some YouTubers griping about top heaviness and such, and I'm thinking, why do you expect a scale crawler to perform like a comp crawler?

 

[Xraycer]

My excuse for buying another scale crawler is that I will have another vehicle to use when the Redcat will eventually be down for service. Yep, I convinced myself!

 

[Doom!]

I really like the scale crawlers. I have been pretty happy with the Sendero, I have started saving for my next rig already, not sure which it will be. I might still pull thre trigger on the ScX10, Also kind of intrigued by the new Element Ecto. I'm secretly hoping I can get the wife to play too, if not it will still be good to have two rigs. Win, win!

 

[Xraycer]

Time for a little bling!

 

[Doom!]

Ka Chow! Details make something cool even better.

The crawling performance of the Wrangler is excellent, right out of the box! I don't want to sacrifice too much of the performance, but I really like the look of the spare tire hanging on the back.
I found a solution to have both!

So, what did I do?

A mach spare tire! I stuffed a tire foam into the cover, ShooGoo a section of pipe insulation to the back of the Jeep.....and voila!

With this Jeep already crawling so well, I decided to add just a bit of weight up front. Tested it out today with the TRX4 Defender's stock wheels and tires, and it actually showed improvements. Especially, on side hilling.

Now your gonna have to move that license plate, don't want to get a ticket. The spare looks great without much weight. Nice!
