Welcome back. Projects that begin as a pile are the best projects.

One of my 1:1 Broncos looked like that at one time!

 

[brushless12v]

Thank-you guys! i can't wait to get started ,
I've had a few set backs like most of you life has me changing lanes and turning down long roads with my disabilities, tbi, ra, ptsd, it's hard to keep the wheel straight and the hammer down but when I can get to this awesome place of rc goodness that you guys provide it's always great therapy and good for my soul, with your builds, advice and great commentary!
oh yeah almost forgot, I had my knee replaced 7days ago, that's helped get my mind right, slow me down and take better care of those at home like my elderly mother and wife who is always there,
Bless you all!

man I don't know, I'm gonna have to tap out on 6-12s ,you guy's are off the hook with driving skills! i try to keepem' in one piece, Luke helped me convert my 2.5 revo to 6s hobbywing, it's only had 4s run on it and that heavy pig is uncontrollable when I visualize me behind the windshield and speed run i ripped the body off in 2 pieces, 6s and above 1/8-1/5 scale is a land missile capable of series bodily harm in my hands anyway, I've got over 17trucks and with each one I'm usually learning to have better control.

This is starting to look like my pile of parts, both new and vintage. I'm trying to update my vintage Losi buggies and trucks with current electronics. There are so many curves that I have to work thru. YouTube and Ebay are both my friend and frustration. But being retired, I have the time. I'll get there.

Got the Grave Digger finished and set on the big rock
