I ran my tractor tire Gorgon. That thing is fun! I added a homemade 4mm aluminum tube sway bar. Mounted to the bumper with delrin tube & nylon clips that act as springs. Links are M3 RC rod ends. Does great! Doesn't nose dive & turns great! 23kg servo. 3500kv brushless.

That's pretty slick! I still can't get over how good that body transformation came out. Those tires are insane!
 
Outcast 6s
The 5 minute rampage.

1 minute into the run I lost a front wheel. The hex carved a trough in the wheel. Loaded up and went to my Son's house to pick up a replacement.

4 minutes into our second try my truck turned front wheel drive and one of the rear driveshafts was poking out of the rear of the truck. The rear inner dogbone pin was sliding out. I took a rock to it to cross the pin to center it. When installing it I found I had a broken drive cup. Drive over.
 
The Sledge.

The truck didn't look right so I pulled it over. 3 seized shocks and 1 with no oil in it (rebuilt them about a month ago)?! By this point I had lost my wing. Since I wasn't going to be flowing the dirt park, I went on a 45 minute long big air rampage. I haven't had this much fun in a long time.
 
Ever thought of a tug of war? 🤣
I think this event is hardest on them

And if you watch it, anything with the wheels tucked under the body seems to do best 😆
 
My son has mentioned it 🤣 it wouldn’t even be fair, the mt8 is a beast 😂 that big rock has no weight to it

The were flying pretty good today. Need to make up an adapter to run the mt8 on 6s 😂
Turn it into a speed contest. Hookemup and gun it. See who pulls who. 🤣🤣

I had a tug of war with my stampede and a Bandit. Did it on tile for more of a challenge.
 
Grasstracked the Rock 'n Roll Rustler today. Converted her from SpeedSpec to GrassSpec and figgered I'd cut a fat hog and advance her to the finals. Fell short. She bows out as an also ran in the semi-final.

Swapped on a set of P-L Galdiator SCT tires on 14mm Raid wheels. Changed springs and shock fluid on all four corners and dropped the gearing from 2.00 to 3.60. Figgered the large can 3300Kv sensorless would have the grunt to pull a tall gear on the track. Figgered wrong. No snap off the corners and that's where she lost it.

Oh well, she'll get 'em next time. -AC
