Peabody Town Forest 7/16/21
Car thermometer reads 99°, but it didn't feel oppressive. After work, I decided to start the weekend with a crawl session, but it would have to be a shorter session since we had dinner plans. Well, the session started out not so smoothly.
Arrived at the parking area, and as I'm getting Reaper ready, I come to find that I'd left the 4 body clips at home. Annoyed, but not a big deal since I only live about 5 minutes away. Got home, got the body clips, and gets a call from my wife that I need to go pick up our middle daughter from a friend's house....15min away. Ok, now this will cost me at least 30min. I'd decided to cancel the session. Take everything out of the car, and went to pick up my daughter.
After we got back to the house, I changed my mind and decided to go crawling again. It would just be shorter than my original plan. Pack up the car again and needed back to PTF. Got to the parking lot, douse myself with bug spray, getting the car ready and realized I forgot the remote! A few F bombs might have been uttered. Call it a day? Only 5 minutes away......this is gonna happen!
This is my first time hitting the trails with Reaper using the new Traxxas Canyon Trail tires. Wow, it's like driving a different vehicle, compared to the stock tires. This thing was crawling like a class ii rig! The only "mods" are some brass portal covers and different tires.
