Thought may be a fun idea. Grabbed one of these and building with my 6 year old, super easy kit and he's loving it https://www.arrma-rc.com/en/product/1-10-gorgon-4x2-mega-550-brushed-monster-truck-ready-to-assemble-kit-with-battery-and-charger/ARA3230SKT1.html Good instructions and comes...

I have a SCX24 JLU with the V2 electronics that I’m swapping to a Injora buggy with 4 wheel steering. When I tore it down, it had a dead motor from 5 year olds abusing it. I.e. holding it in place to do 4 wheel burnouts in dirt. Got it all together with a new Injora motor, and everything works...

Haven't done RC things in friggen forever. Prob 15 years or so. Going to the "Harvesters in the Holler" IH get together in TN in a few weeks and they are doing an RC crawl comp. So I needed a RC rig. Just entry level shit but hey. It looks cool. I want to paint the wheels alum to match...

I want to get front overdrive, and I am curious if there is a good option I am missing for my build. I want to keep the low gear sets in both axles to minimize torque twist and stress on the drivetrain, so I want to get overdrive from the transmission. Currently, I am at ˜20:1 with the Axial 3...

I wanted to check before I posted some stuff.

Well, parts of one. Needs finished. I wanted a scaler, but not the same ole Toyota/Land Rover everyone else has. https://www.amainhobbies.com/rc4wd-beast-ii-6x6-truck-rtr-rc4zrtr0028/p542025

$10 at a local garage sale today. Now my 8yr old can drive with us on weekends with the club https://www.towerhobbies.com/product/112-cr12-4wd-tioga-trail-truck-rtr-whiteblue/ASC40006.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjw_r6hBhDdARIsAMIDhV9Sc3sQ1LqwJ5uT653K3z7pZvUCOz_eA6ZEafUfAoZ5VtMM_5-tROwaAs_QEALw_wcB

I have a Traxxas slash 4x4 with a Traxxas brushless motor and speed controller. Would it make sense to transfer everything over to a Losi Tenacity rolling chassis (assuming the motor will fit?) Or would I be better off selling the slash complete and building the Tenacity up?

I had the SCX24...meh. I gave it to my middle son last year. Since then, my oldest bought an SCX and bought my youngest an AX24 today. Screw it, better keep up with the Jones' I guess. :laughing:

How about a random pic and vid thread? Didn’t see one posted yet. I know I’m just getting into this, but I have a few good ones. I’m sure there will be more to come.

Anybody else build a scaler replica of their real rig? I figured i might as well have 1 to drive while the other is down. I've been having a lot of fun with this thing since I got it. It's tough not to spend wheeler money on a couple more. I'm waiting on parts for both trucks right now but the...
