I've been wanting to already buy another new RC but I figured this week I'd work on my Arrma granite BLX so I've got a new servo coming tomorrow just finished painting a new Gladiator body and mounting new proline demolisher wheel and tires for a more aggressive look. What are you all upto and what do you think of my granite

I like the paint job on the gladiator, my personal preference would have been masking off the windows. The wheels n tires look killer.
Thank you! It's funny you say that I was prepping everything to paint and after the first few sprays I realized I forgot to tape the windows 🤣 being that it is mainly black I don't mind as much.

Yea it happens. We just try to do better on our next ones.
 
2 Weeks ago I saw the real sprint cars and have been debating getting one myself although we have no tracks nearby us. That's awesome man!
yeh i have a street stock, a late model, a winged outlaw sprint, and wingless 13.5 sprint .... they are deff fun

Gladiator looks pretty danged cool on there. :thumbs-up:
 
I like those tires better than the stock look.
How do they run?
They look like they'd be great on loose stuff! Maybe... snow??? 🤔

Oh yeah... still a bunch of Kyosho parts on a few benches actually.
I have a stack of lexan that I'm sending to Team Blue Groove so they can copy it and make it avail for sale again.
I have a piston and ring set for my leaf blower on my ottoman too if that counts??? 🤣

I've got alot of dirt where I run I'm shelf queening it ATM haven't actually run them but I've had issues with the stock tires spinning out on the loose mud so this should definitely be epic especially whenever it decides to rain I'll get her nice and dirty.

Sometimes its better to wait for 'just the right moment'! 😎
 
I replied on here earlier but I just do an update:
The FG mardertruck has finally all parts necessary to get back on wheels. Within 2 months I'll maybe also get the parts to convert the "mardertruck" fully to a monstertruck and add a 2-speed, but first I'll work on the baja that finally has all necessary parts as well. I might start off with the T2M serie 5000 soon though as I have a new nitro engine.
All of them are laying completely disassembled right now🤣
Once all this is done, I promised to help someone with their new HPI savage.
I have just 2 weeks for this, and I still have to do two major school assignments and an exam in the end of the Christmas "vacation"🤦🤣
