If I took you there, it wouldn't be secret! Actually when Chino and I were leaving, there were some Cal. Park Police waiting in the parking lot. We had our rigs and Tx's in our backpacks as to not look too suspicious, I've been warned a few times, "NO RC's ALLOWED!!!" Might have to let the "secret spot" cool off for a while.

3/16th Chromo tube, boatsides are Alu, nothin special, I did add some rock lights to em, similar to Chino's, but home made. They are a three LED strip, but instead of slotting the sliders I drilled three 5/32nd holes for each LED with a 90* countersink. I don't have the means to dimple die, so it's my version, I call it "feaux dimple die".

I love that shirt, brings back good memories.

Very nice Travis, and I thought your Yota truggy was nice. I saw some pictures Dean posted the other day with his Yota, your Yota, and a blue FJ-45 was that yours too?? It looked like a cool rig. Do you have any info on that rig? Thanks

Thanks a lot Bill, yeah , the blue 45 is mine too, actually they are the same rig. I just unbolted the 45s tube work from the frame and re did it with the 80. I can switch back to the 45 in about 20 mins.
