So, What R/C Did You Run Today?

[Xraycer]

We had an ice storm yesterday, into late last night. While the snow clearing was a total pain, the frozen terrain made for good crawling. It was cold and windy, but it was dry and sunny.

it's cool when you get to make the first tracks in fresh snow.

I agree!

Last weekend's ice storm encased my crawling courses under several inches of frozen snow and ice, but the last several days unseasonably warm temp is slowly getting my courses back. There was enough exposed rocks for me to try RigorMortis'(SCX24) new Injora super swamper copies for the first time in the outdoors. It wasn't up to par with RC4WD Mud Slingers, but it actually did quite well.

He looks happy to be able to go outside.

You should have seen him frolicking in the snow.

Ran the fireteam on 6s all weekend in the snow and ice. Loving this thing. Had a dozen or so 100’ plus launches off the snow plow bill. Broke nothing. Put it in the shower over night to dry. Haven’t t had it out in the dry weather yet but I’m approving of it as of now. It’s worth the price.

Ran my gen8 v2 out in yard for the time…unseasonably warm today in Ct in the 60’s
Just crawled around on the rock wall in backyard…goes pretty good although I will be tucking in the bumpers and or looking for options. Anyone got any suggestions on the bumpers

My Typhon 3s! I printed out a TPU wing and did some durability testing, I didn't break a single part!

We came close to 60° here in my neck of the woods (NH).
Your Scout is looking awesome, Man!

Thanks…I’m slowly learning how to use the wife’s Cricut pirinter…gonna try & make some decals for behind the back wheel, didn’t like the placement when I put original stickers on and it stretched when I tried to remove it
Rigor Mortis is looking good

Today I had out both the Axial SCX24 Deadbolts, the FMS Atlas6x6 and the Easyrc FJ or whatever cute name they gave it.

I learned today the EasyRc FJ is a lousy crawler, definately trail truck only. Forgot to get a pic of it on the trail but it does look great, very scale.

The Deadbolts and Atlas took another crack at Mt Doom today. You can see pics in the in the Crawler Chronicles thread as soon as I get it posted.

My little monster and I ran the 1/24s in the living room. She is five but still hasn't figured out how to steer and accelerate at the same time.

I'm 50, and still trying to figure out why I still play with toy cars!

Starting messing around with the smaller Cricut joy printer my wife has, here’s a decal i found that I liked…I think it looks pretty good
I also made a couple stencils for my ramp

Looks like a storm trooper.

Personally, I think that giant skull would look better on the roof. It just takes away from the stripes on the hood, which I really like! Just my 2 cents.

New Scx24 I finished. 4 wheel steer. Messed with the gearing and shocks. She compresses on forward and raises at reverse. Absolutely loving this one! 4 wheel steer makes it completely different.

Looks great! The 4 wheel steering looks pretty cool.

I always thought the long part of this Furitek chassis was the front.
So, I'm guessing you used the Deadbolt links and driveshafts for this build?

Correct. the short parts the front. I used deadbolt links for it. I do like this furytek kit a lot more than the standard aluminum bouncer. Better quality, a lot more thought went in to this one.
