Picked up the Arrma Big Rock 3S BLX Truck today instead of getting the Wide-Maxx, haven’t gotten to run her yet, but thing looks great!

Oh dude.
You should have just grabbed the Castle 10A BEC. No idea why they are charging so much for that Reef's one. That's crazy!

We already knew that since the start, plus don't we all have issues?

Cool, But make sure you keep an eye on that Spektrum 2 in 1 combo esc\receiver since in that truck their known to cut out. So down the road you might need to upgrade the esc to either a Max 10 G2 140a or a Quicrun 10BL120 G2 and get a receiver for it. Just my .02

Bought a JConcepts body for my RC10T6.4 from Amazon.
A little bummed the LHS sold me a body the did not fit the car.
I am trying to support my LHS.

I always tend to cross reference part numbers before they ring everything up just to make sure I have the right stuff.

I tend to save everything I need in my AMain cart/lists so it's easy for me to access. But it does suck when they sell you something that doesn't fit or work. Should be able to get compensated for it, in my opinion.

I waited to long to paint it and trim the body, like over a year.
I am sloowwly getting back into racing.
Brings up a question I thought of, is there an advantage to trimming the body before painting?

I always trim before so I can actually see the cut lines more clearly, also reaming out body posts before, for the same thing to see them clearly enough and re align the body if needed before drilling/reaming.

 

[rcskwerl]

The seems like a good idea.
I had some trouble seeing the trim lines, not just because of 60+year old eyes

I have been interested in getting a boat for a while. Saw Traxxas & SnapOn collaborated on this set and decided to pick it up. I absolutely enjoy collecting the Snap On limited edition vehicles so this was a win win for me, super excited!

another Game Boy DMG-01 (aka the brick). vertical lines on this one, easily fixed (iv done it to mine a couple times in the past). so now i have 2 back lit Game Boy projects.

I broke 2 tires today, then an a-arm
It was fun
We have a big sheet if plastic down as a slip n slide.
So of course I had to drive on that icy road
Had a blast with the rustler on 3s
After a few rips both rear tires got holes that started spewing out the foams lol
You can hear them slap around.
It was awesome

Free find of the day. An almost complete Nitro rustler. Just needs a pull start (I have like 6 of them), a body and a few screws.

Friend of mine found it at his house and asked if I wanted it. I can never turn down a free RC of any kind Motor turns over, hopefully it starts

Good. Give it to me, thanks.

Nah if she’s a runner, I’m running it I’ve always wanted one too, just couldn’t swallow spending the amount Traxxas wants for them new.

Hoping the aluminum bell crank will swap over from my electric rustler basket case. It’ll be a nice addition to my restored 4909 T-Maxx.

Nice score. Loosen the nut on the muffler and angle it straight out or down. I used to angle it down to help spit oil out.

 

[Doom!]

Certainly can't beat the price! Looks like it's in great shape!
