Finished my "dressed-up" Chanquish wheels. Someone on Facebook said i ****ed up and the rings have to be bolted AFTER the tires... Please tell me He's trolling... Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk |

Of course not! The tires can, and will go on after you finish assembling the wheels. There are front halves, and back halve so they should sandwich together after you install the clamping ring in the tire. My cousins show me loads of nonsense on face book, so it doesn’t surprise me that an EFFED up screwball would give someone bad advice on something so simple. |

Went camping last week and i brought the bomber for some beach and forest runs. I also had the yeti Jr for my 3y old son. Nothing broken but there is a very annoying squeeking noise that is getting louder... I think the driveshafts are about to die... The only other problem i had was the set screws from the VP antirock bar coming loose even with blue threadlock and oddly enough, 2 screws from the skid plate are coming loose I have a video of some crawling action but i need to upload it to YouTube first...

I did a little training session for the kid with my little yeti jr. He's pretty good for 3 years old. I will build an scx10.2 with him once he's ready. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk |

Last day of vacation, i went to a different area where they keep rocks, gravel and sand to build new houses and roads. Added quite à few scratches and i finally rubbed off some of the wheel paint along with tire lettering The bomber will require maintenance and a good session of dusting off.

For anyone wondering I'm not dead Really swamped at work and the summer went by too fast. I didn't get much free time for the RC world. I will be going on a Christmas trip at the same spot from the last pictures. So you guys will see the snowy and frozen version. After this ride it will be the winter maintenance phase. Here's the upgrade plan : New Holmes Hobbies trailmaster Sport 550 21T Locked up RC rear axle shafts SSD bomber front and Wraith rear driveshafts JEC Racing Wraith trailing arms JEC Racing Wraith rear upper links JEC Racing bomber front links JEC Racing steering links Arrma 4mm set screws for the VP swaybar eBay aluminium wheels with SSD and lockedup scale hardware Goodyear MT/R 2.2 tires I also have a Robinson racing steel spur gear with a traxxas slipper spring but I don't know if it's a good upgrade for a brushed bomber.

Winter ride today, went really well but the stock tires have very bad traction in the snow... I went over an icy cliff and might have bent the front left universal shaft. I had to stop since the battery was freezing and not outputting enough power. Makes me want to go brushless with paddles Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk |

Started my winter maintenance, so far I might have stripped the VP servo arm, the screw just goes straight through... Also missing the set screws from my JEC Racing front lower links. Another praise for his customer service, 1 message on Facebook and I have a bag of set screws shipped to Canada! Happy holidays everyone Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk |

While I'm waiting for JEC parts (turns out I have bomber trailing arms instead of Wraith lenght) i'm doing some cleaning in the truck. My girlfriend got me this new tool and it's awesome! Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk |
