| Newbie with lots of pics...
I picked up a TR for my 4yr old son as a random purchase at my LHS. I wanted something slower than a slash (even in training mode) and it was what they recommended. Well after running it for "safety check" for hours and hours....I was hooked. I ended up picking a Honcho kit for myself and have not looked back since...

May I ask where? I believe SCRC crawls there occasionally. Also, if you ever wanna crawl inside hobbytown USA in Orland Park has a nice indoor course, its a sprtsman course but it really puts scalers to the test. i used to run every sunday. |

| It's by Batavia .....I'll have to check out Orland park as soon as I get another project started. I made the mistake of joining this forum so I am eager to start a Hilux build...

| I love old industrial buildings, great for some urban exploring we dont have that much here in the netherlands, because we have such a small country and 17 million folks living in it we have a lack of space. so when a building is old and empty it gets knocked down pretty fast I can spend hours using google street view and look at the empty industial buildings in detroit, lots of em Last edited by murky123; 11-24-2010 at 10:24 AM. |

| I finally drove over that way last week and checked it out, looks like a fun place to play.....when it's over 40* and not snowing Now IIRC, there's a restaurant not too far from there that was once one of Al Capone's hideouts from when he was running Chicago decades ago. |

| Go to this thread; My SCX10 Trailer... It look like he just took the cross bar that holds the spare and bolted that to the back of the shell |
