Gah i hate injured body parts. Im not in the greatest shape and I was born that way and I keep getting WORSE. I feel your pain not punishing the rocks man... isn't that what kids and friends are for, getting your car and pushing your lawn chair around so you can have fun driving Hope your able to at least get to the rocks, its not fun being rock deprived |

Well being this is my Wifes favorite holiday and I have a three year old boy. My Wifey will hit every event all weekend. No Grave or crypt will be left unscavenged. Getting to the rocks this weekend is not in the cards. I hope by next weekend I will be moving a lot better. So, I should not have any excuse not to get out next weekend. Happy Halloween Everyone ! |

This is a "Poison Dart" Frogger. They are made by KC JoNeS. You can go to his web site : www.jonesnrc.com Casey is a great guy ! He produces a top notch product and also has other items you will want "Beef Toobs" for Axial Axles. You can also contact him right here on RCC. I have 2 of his froggers, of course this one and his original "OG" Frogger. This is my build thread on the "OG". My "Frogger" build "Litoria xanthomera" |

Well have got back to work this week. Straped on my heavy work boots and tightened the laces as tight as I can. I did one minor mod this week that I would share. I scored a pair of Vanquish Razors for the rear shocks. This really helped with the stance on the "PD". I feel it will help with the break over. Due to I did not do the Traxxas Big Bore Cap Mod. Waiting on Alf4444 to start manufacturing the what I called the "SHOCKER CAP" in alfs contest. (A little self promotion LOL !)

You can purchase through McMaster / Carr or I found what I used on this build on Ebay.

I will use Travers Tool {watch out for shipping, sometimes it helps to email for a quote } MSC, Enco {same as MSC, just the "cheap" guys... shipping seems to be $7 standard for most stuff}, Online metals {I order from them, they know how to pack stuff GOOD!}. Just about any online supply place has the stuff and all have about the same quality | |

I have to admit, I have been very caught up in my Foff build DRV KRAWLER FOFF'en Formula Offroad. I do have a pair of Axial XHD no slop lockers to install in it. I love how it is performing with the stock lockers at this time so, I really am in no rush to tear it down. Plus my 3 1/2 year old Son keeps me quite busy.

| Re: "The official Tuolumne County Poison Dart" I have since torn this rig down to build my 4 year old son Nicholas a Scaler. I sold this Chassis to Trubble who is doing one hell of a job bring it back. Look him up on this. I was really sad to see this rig go on the way side. It really did perform in my opinion excellent.

Yep, sorry Kids. Got a couple vendors working on projects for this ride, soon as I have something I can showcase I'll put up a build thread. I'll come and drop a notice in here for anyone who's sub'd to this thread. |

I can say that the Poison Dart sure gave my custom chassis AX a run for its $ when i was up. I think it goes to show in the end proper setup and a good driver makes the rig |

Mine's still a work in progress but coming on fast now - my Paypal account has taken a hammering in the last 48hrs! Drv's DNA lives on in this rig - "Eric the Frog" - in the form of the original Jones'n BTA link! Watch this space over the next few weeks! |
