Rock Crawlers paradise! 😍

[Doom!]

Today was our much overdue getaway to the coast. Just the sound and smell of the ocean works wonders for the soul!
I brought three SCX24's with me and spent about 3 hours crawling. It was so perfect. I even got Mrs. Doom! To join in for about a half hour. I think she's coming around, she said she could do one this size just not the bigger ones.

If only I could have a spot like this where I live, the terrain is like exploring a new planet. So many lines to choose from, wish I could have brought one of my 1/10 scale crawlers.

The Jeep Gladiator got it's first run today!

Nightmare outperformed the Gladiator and even Ogre (Deadbolt) by miles.
The RC4WD mud slingers were so superior to the Injora mudslingers, world of difference.

Really needed this trip!

Bro, that looks awesome, I'm glad you are having a great time.

Ogre's not in the pics. Did he make the trip? Or was his heart still giving him problems? Looks like an awesome playground bro. Thanks for sharing.

Dang, that is crawling paradise!

You should just plan to do this, at least once a month.

Ogre made it but he wasn't at his best, he was missing a little weight down low due to a last minute front axle swap. Turns out the motor wasn't the problem after all but the front diff was the problem. Was out of time so I just swapped the whole front axle but that meant leaving the T'real diff cover and brass knuckles behind. I could tell the difference in performance.

Dang, that is crawling paradise!

I wish we could afford it!

Or build a second home there. Cardboard box should be fine for that weather

By the way, that Gladiator shot is epic. Something about it just looks like an Axial promo.

Gladiator looked like it was meant for the terrain, the color matched perfectly.

You have GOT to come up with a better name for Gladiator

 

[Doom!]

Outside of the bodies lacking detail, and using stickers for door handles and grilles and such, the 24's have the scale look, that's for sure.
