Need to lift the body for clearance? Beefier drive?
I had to trim the fenders quite a bit, but I didn't have to lift the body, which for this car you don't really want to do anyway as the body roll cage interfaces with a center body support. Also, ii like the look of the lower body. I had to regear, down to a 13t pinion from 16.
This car uses the same drivetrain as a number of different cars including ones running tires larger than this, so, drivetrain can handle it. So far...

When the big one gets bigger tires, then the little one gets bigger tires... From the big one...
Only mild trimming in this case.
Found this old yellow and blue body that had been semi retired. The fox one is barely in one piece.Attachment 358366Attachment 358367

Good god that looks good, but let's be honest, everything looks better with properly sized rolling stock.
Took the Redcats out for a cruise today. I still can't believe we're rolling on dirt in mid Noveburary.
I thought the boy was gonna be pissed that I replaced his motor for one with a few less turns, not sure he even noticed. Winning.

Because we drive rc cars every goddamn day! Just about. But we are developing a dust problem. You could probably see our dust cloud from olympus cove tonight... Open to suggestions... Like where's the goddamn snow?

This thing is fucking absurd. It'll pretty much fly and land itself. I think it'll be a great trainer.
Sweet! We need a plane. We just a little styrofoam one, it flies. That think looks cool as hell.
Another arrma video, put a go pro in it this time. Bashin around the park with the boy.
Updated video with more jumps, crashes, and flipping the kids senton over.

I got it slapped together in a half hour or so. I'm just waiting on the optional GPS sensor to arrive, hopefully that will make it kid-proof.

I tried a GoPro mount on one of the crawlers, but just for stills. I do video all day at work, and the last thing I want to do at the end of the day is deal with that. I still need to work on the angle a bit.

Took the Cub for a spin too. FFS, my sphincter is still up around my throat. I thought that thing was gonna be a blast. Between the fact that before takeoff I was a few whiskeys deep and had neglected to read the manual things went OK.... until I needed to land and couldn't figure out the GPS system.... and the neighbor kid wanted to show me his sweet bike skills.... and someone wanted to learn how to drive stick in his '88 Corrola in my LZ.... and another couple needed to try out their new direct to consumer Chinese touring bikes. FML.

I blew up the motor in my mojave today. Hopefully just a bearing replacement will do the trick.

So, uh, do you hear that salt lake city has set aside land for a big rc car park? Gonna be hudge! Full 1/8 scale racetrack with drivers stand. 200'x200' bashing area, a rock crawler area. All out by the existing rc plane airport. I'm working on the design side of the bashing area... Dirt moving has already begun...

I had heard rumors of it for years. Never thought the city would get their shit together. It'll be nice to hang out with folks of a similar persuasion when this covid shit is all over.Quote:

I picked up a '79 Blazer bodied Traxxas TRX4 from the classifieds the other day. Holy shit, it's tits. Between the two speed transfer case and selectable lockers, there's not much that'll stop it.
We took it out for it's maiden voyage this afternoon.

I re-bodied the kid's Redcat Gen-7. I couldn't get behind the generic SUV shit. Bobbed Cherokee FTW.

Sweet. Lotta good stuff.
My brother was down a few weeks ago with his kraton and his axial scx10, and my boy was bonkers over the axial. He hounded me and hounded me for one. Finally I said, you have money, how much do you have? His maternal grand parents give him like $100 on various dates, bday, etc. He also gets a leetle big obcash from dad for making sure it's safe to walk around the yard. Well, he had enough for a new axial scx10 trail honcho. Thing is way fun. Totally different mindset. So between yourmom and my brother, I spread the blame on you guys.

It would be cool if they made a working winch. They probably do, this is not my realm, but it would make it more fun for sure.
It even comes with a remote.Quote:

Blame accepted. Get ready to hike. You've got a ton of good terrain up there behind Red Butte and the History Museum. I've been wanting to do a crawl up to the living room.Quote:

Took the kids for a hike with the crawler. The boy dug it. He does like the crawler.

FKNA. Are those like 45" equivalents?
We hitched up the new trailer to the Blazer and took it for a rip with the Rover.
+1 for the tank
+1 for the fact that the Rover didn't break down.

Thanks, the Mojave is an absolute blast, I would love to have your yard set up.
The 6s Typhon is my new obsession. It flat hauls ass,is super balanced in air and has the most amazing cartwheels when I crash it.
It's finally starting to green up on the trails. Sadly, this means the horse shit is thawing.
