that is crazy.  Well my 18T does that now.  The only problem is, my Servo died after a full speed head on crash with a z3 tire.   Need new servo and bumper so I can go beat it some more.  

The next project for tomorrow and saturday is to get the revo running again.

went out to a little home made BMX track and beat up our R/Cs...

the starter box belt got cut so there went the revo, but got two packs out of the 18t.. man we trashed it pretty bad, I shouldn't do that again...

buddy had his baja 5B man that thing is an BEAST, if you've never seen one thrashed around, you should..

so what's up guys? been quiet lately.

I just rebuilt my 18 after the bash session, damn it tore the little guy up. Started putting together my 8 buggy, with the JP motor it should RIIIP. I bought another JP motor, don't know why.. well I do, its a 500 dollar motor and some guy desperately needed cash on rctech so I offered 80 bucks and got it. Its a b*tchin motor once you get it running smooth, I might put the other one in the Revo.


This weekend I learned a lot though, the track we had it on would a$$-rape the cars we have. His baja 5 did great, that is one TOUGH SOB I will tell you. Maybe a truggy with bigger tires would do ok there, but my revo would get raped.

I now respect HPI and the Savage a lot more, performance aside, they make freaggin tough cars.

So I stopped by my local Hobby People to chat with my little cousin. As I browsed the aisles I notice a Slash body that was a little smaller than the rest, it was 1/16th scale! I enquired and it turned out they had just received in a dozen of the trucks and had 2 on display. I checked out the Slash version and let me tell you, this thing is trick! They scaled down every feature from the Revo in exact detail, put a BL motor, and room for 12 cells! I was instantly in love and was scheming how I could get one home without the wife killing me, than I saw the price. Ouch. Not worth it. It must have gold plated diff gears and cristal for shock oil.

So I bought the body and wheels and cut into my TC3. At least mine will look as cool as a real one. I'll post pics tonight.

Whoops, I got a little busy. It's coming. The TT is still on the work bench, I got the driveshaft figured out so all I really have to do is put electronics in it. I need one night free to do it and it should be running.

Haha... pretty funny video...

Update from me... there is none... cars are still parked and broken. Well, the Slash is down with a spur gear, the Slayer and T-Maxx are just finicky nitros. And I've been on the road for the last 17 days, so yea... maybe they will get some love here soon.
