Those little gray market trucks can be made very capable. There’s a few guys locally that have welded the spider gears and put some SxS sized wheels/tires on them with a homemade lift. Surprised me.

Are they running steering brakes in those things? If not, what's all the squeaking and squealing I'm hearing when they're making tight turns?

We had a few of those up here on base. We may have abused them similarly when we made trips around perimeter road to the end of the runway. I'd like to have one, even though the exhaust system always made that horrible racket under load. |

These would fit in with the 1/4 scale truck thread in the 1:1 section, about the same size as the Suzuki

To me, the chuckling was pure joy at someone pulling some serious lines in something not made for it... I preferred it to the drunken yells that pervade some of the rock bouncer vids. And, yes - definitely a cultural/linguistic thing. Sweet video! |

| Re: Cool Pictures Like the spikes of death, but I'm thinking your drop distance may be too great to execute impalement before a quick rodent could react & escape its path.

For the really fast clever ones and since they stick to the walls for protection I do this. sticky trap against wall Peanut butter close to the wall then sticky trap at outer edge of first trap Stick trap butted up to the lower inner edge of a trap above Basically surrounding the peanut butter with sticky traps and unless he is spider mouse 9-10x one of the three gets him. I do like the Spanish Inquisition decide though and hope it works but like 2mtech mentioned it might be a little high |
