So, What R/C Did You Run Today?

[Xraycer]

Had to enjoy a little bit of the weather after work today. Crawled a bit around the property with  Reaper.
I need to do some trail maintenance on the crawl courses. I'll wait until spring.

That looks awesome X.

The Ecto got to play on the rocks this morning.

And the obligatory out take.

Nice terrain!

I wish I could get there more often!

Just as I typed that I looked at my phone, weather
advisory calling for 1" to 3" maybe 4" of snow tonight.

No not at all this year Doom. A few weeks ago we drove up to one of the places that gets lots of snow and there is a really nice trail that goes through the timber but there wasn't a single flake of snow.
There might be now with the rain we've had but to be honest I don't think my lungs would allow it.

Got 3rd tonight, made the podium for the first time! These things are a handful to drive.

Good job, the car looks good. I love the blacked out look, but when mine get a little far out I understand the bright colored paint jobs…..they stick out at a distance for us blind folks.

Haven't been out in a while. Gonna take the rustler out. Try out the tire sauce with it

Took it out. Broke 5 minutes later. Wheelie bar mount keeps coming off the chassis as it slides on. Burnt up the servo and bent the tie rod that goes from the servo horn to the bellcrank.

Traxxas had this rear bumper or wheelie bar design for atleast 20 years. They never had thought about fixing it. Wow.

 

[TeknoJ]

Is it just me or do traxxas wheels look so cheesy……….?

Some people think they look Gouda.

Nope. Not just you.

Took the car for some practice. The car just loves to spin out on one particular corner of the track. But at least I got some more track time. I also noticed some scratches on the screen on my transmitter. No, it's not going to effect the way it works, but seeing it scratched in the light makes my skin crawl. Futaba doesn't make a screen protector for this model either which is annoying.

There’s that stuff they use on bike frames, it’s a clear adhesive backed stuff, I make chassis guards out of that stuff. Drop by a bike shop or look it up on Amazon or something.
