[bobaloohoo]

I'm more excited about seeing something I built in a magazine than I was about building it lol

 

[bobaloohoo]

Giving my swampers a southern cut! Still gotta clean em up. This things gonna be a hill climbing machine

 

[bobaloohoo]

Doin work! Real or Rc?;p

 

[HPI-Killer]

Man that rock bouncer is lookin GOOD! You fab that cage yourself, how long did it take to complete? Keeping ky eye on this thread for certain.

And if I didn't know what Wraith seats looked like youd have me fooled man.

 

[bobaloohoo]

Thanks hpi! Emeryworx made the buggy cage for me. Took a while to receive it but once I did I plunged head first into it. I've gotten quite a bit of money into this... Enough to buy an LS1 engine if I didn't build this lol

 

[HPI-Killer]

Enough to buy an LS1 engine if I didn't build this lol

Like for real?... I own a pretty beefy Silverado and have only imagined a nice LS drop or ground upping my 6.0L Vortec currently in it... Either way its just a dream, I just kicked back into the hobby again so I am definatly not getting closer to that star....

What an amazing photo! I didn't see a driver, so I'm guessing it's not the one you can sit in.

 

[HPIguy]

I can see that kind of money in a build like this. I don't even add up my builds, haven't for years now. Just takes all the fun out of it.

 

[hamz9561]

I actually did add up what I had in my SCX-10/JK build and was shocked to see how much i had in it...

 

[bobaloohoo]

@HPIguy the only reason I kept track of the money on this build is because I kept receipts for everything I bought just in case I was to sell it in the future. I have another chassis coming in and that price will also prepare me.

 

[HPIguy]

I know what things cost on the Wraith, I have all the receipts, I just avoid adding it up so I don't go into shock. LOL

 

[bobaloohoo]

Get the defibrillators ready!

 

[wacmartin]

I just received my issue of RC Driver on Friday, it's pretty cool to see your rig! I wouldn't be surprised if you win ride of the year!

 

[bobaloohoo]

Thanks man! I'm happy enough with ride of the month. Proline is sending me $200 in free stuff!

 

[Rolex]

Proline is sending me $200 in free stuff!

Wow! VERY cool!
