My rcs and this winter

[satan6907]

A lil about my rc's along with some pictures.

Traxxas Stampede VXL.

Picked this up a few weeks ago, guy said he got it as a x-mas gift last year, ran it 5 times and sat in the original box in his basement.

Well I switched over all my parts to it from my original pede.

RPM arms, bumper, and caster blocks, blue alum shock caps and a nice 80's chevy K10 body.

Then we have the Rustler vxl

started out as stampede and then i bought the new rustler chassis and top deck.

This has STRC caster blocks, rpm arms, bumper and front bearing carriers. 60a ez run with a vxl motor. Red alum shock caps. now has a Futaba 3pm fm radio. still need to get a body for this puppy.

Then we have the beast of the group the AE MGT.

way to much work and money into this to even want to list it all.

I am also in the process of building an E-revo, buying a Duratrax Evader st Pro, trading for a Traxxas SledgeHammer, and also a Mini-t.

Sand paws on the stampede and the snow chains aka the meat grinders on the rustler

[Daddeo]

HAHA, looks like you had a blast! Nice looking rides you got there, looks like they get used properly too. Living here in Florida I couldn't imagine running in the snow, is it fun?

[satan6907]

Yea its fun, my rustler wont do wheelies in dry grass and dirt but drop them meat grinders on in snow and she rides high.

but now I am limites to the drive way, sidewalk and road.

we got 14+ inches of snow this week in 36 hours and now have 3+ foot snow banks in the front yard i normally run in. and to much snow in the back yard for any of the rcs.

[Daddeo]

Holy cow! 14+ inches! I think I'll keep my mosquitoes and hurricanes ;).

[satan6907]

[Daddeo]

I have that same tire/rim combo on my T4, Cool!

[satan6907]

when I run the meat grinders on the road with about 1-2 inches if snow, sounds like a sb straight piped.


haven't used my moabs in snow yet.

[Daddeo]

I know what you mean. A while back I had converted one of my B4's to a road buggy with Road Rage tires. It sounded like a truck with boggers on it!

I think the sound of rc chains running up the road is pretty cool.

[Daddeo]

I might just have to fashion some up for my TXT-1 just see what you guys are talking about ;).

[satan6907]

need another set of tires for the txt?

[satan6907]

Well I guess i'll stick this in here as it pertains to this winter.

[satan6907]

[Daddeo]

Yep, that's all would need at the moment.

[satan6907]

[Daddeo]

Okie Dokie, I'll shoot you a PM :D.

[satan6907]

can't wait to take my new toy for a ride.

[Daddeo]

Get some pictures or video if you can, would be cool to watch or see.

[satan6907]

still waiting to play with my new toy. if the trials aint open monday i might just run it around that yard a lil bit

[staple]

No where else to ride other than marked trails? Hope they open soon for ya.

[satan6907]

well i can take it out to one of the famrs but i would have to go get the trailer first and atm only the sled has enough gas in it.

[staple]

Trailering just to check your new sled out sucks. Have fun when you do get a chance.

[satan6907]

i rode it in my tiny backyard today but coundt really crack it open to see what she can do.

[Daddeo]

I did that with our new dune buggy back a few years ago. Didn't have enough room to get more than 1/4 throttle but now, we have more than enough room ;).
