It's such a small and slow rock crawler, it'l do. I was worried myself but after soldered up and properly braced I cannot flex any of the tubes by hand. It probably wouldn't survive a 20 ft fall, but for typical use it's fine.

I normally use 3/16 solid steel and mig it together on the 1/10 scale stuff.

They're easy enough. This little one took me 4 hrs to do. The bigger steel ones take about 10. I'll have see what time we get home tonight and if I can post pics.

Did I hear about a track day Sunday?

I'll start thinking about putting something together then. Maybe dust off my Losi XXX-BK, XXT-CR, or MRC SB. I don't recall if I have any nitros running or not.

Yeah, I'm not sure how I will paint it. I'm making side panels soon, so I do need to nail down a scheme. I'm thinking something bright. Maybe lime green with black flames?

I'm in. I started painting the Slash TT body last night and have plans to dust off a buggy or 2 this afternoon. If I can find some decent batteries I should have a full crowd.
