finished running the wiring on the winter beater monster truck. if i had a freaking 5mm pinion the truck would be "driveable" (i could cruise it around at a low speed).
i think all that's left is to get a pinion, paint the body, and glue the tires to the wheels.

and of course sense i built the truck, all the winter weather forecasts iv seen are saying it'll be a dry winter. iv got a feeling that because i finally built this truck it may never rain in So Cal again.

I also gotta get my cars ready for winter. Need a new servo on the front of the trx-4, plow mount ready, need new slash paddle tires, and maybe try some crazy stuff on the losi šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

Oh yeah! And my motor protection!
 
Going through my spares, and decided to peice together another rig. Started with a Furitek Carbon Fiber chassis, transmission, links, portal axles and shocks. Has a MoFo motor, Epower servo, Injora servo arm, tires, Treal wheels, portal covers. All I am missing is a reciever esc and transmitter. I've also got a Deadbolt body or two around here that should work.

šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø was about to start figuring out that motor protection cover and my right front portal had gotten pretty hard to move. Took it apart and most of the bearings were pretty bad. They are working now šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļøView attachment 247724
You know they make pop tops now. You don't need to tear the bottoms off cans to get them open anymore. šŸ˜‰
You were thirsty, huh? 🤣
 
Painted an SCX 24 Deadbolt body to put on my Furitek frankenbuild. The color is darker than the photos, actually a gunmetal. I will hand paint the interior details, I was to lazy to mask them. The interior will be protected by the roll cage so not to worried about it.

Looks like the T-1000 material. I like it.
