This system was introduced with 2018 JL Wranglers. The Jeep E-torque system is a mild hybrid where the gasoline engine is given a torque boost by the motor/generator. The torque boost happens during the 1st rotation of the tires when starting; starting the engine when the stop/start system stopped the engine; and when downshifting. When coasting, braking and up shifting the motor / generator charges the battery. This provides really good take off torque (even off road) and really smooth shifts. Way too complicated in someways. Be nice if they could build the CJ5 again. This video does a high level overview of the system | |

I have been thinking about getting a new basher and today I get a call from my buddy at the hobby shop who says “want an Outcast for (insert great deal)?” Sometimes the universe sends you a sign you can’t ignore. |

Cool. Have you done a double backflip yet? Those short wheelbase trucks with big ol tires love to backflip. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk | |

Need to at least solder some new connectors on my big batteries and probably swap to one of my good radios before really driving. Then I can work on double backflips, front flips, and all that fun stuff. | |

| Re: Pics of your latest purchase Nice! Arrma makes the coolest looking stock MT bodies IMO. And these trucks look like a blast. I'm just not keen on running two batteries at once or investing in 4S+.

On a slightly smaller scale, the brushless Arrma Granite 4x4 is a hoot on 3S. I watched it survive being launched off a 4 ft ramp by a 10 year old for like an hour straight before cracking an A-arm. | |

| Re: Pics of your latest purchase I bought one for my M4E1 SPR build to try it while it was on sale because everyone raves about them. I loved it so much that this one is going on my M5E1 so that both rifles feel the same. |

With this coronavirus crap slowly shutting down the entire U.S., what better way to enjoy some (unfortunately, unpaid) time off than adding another rig to the collection. Even better, since I'm visiting family in Las Vegas...was originally coming for Scale Nationals, but decided to come anyway...what better location that to test out the new rig. If you're even in the Vegas area, be sure to stop by Friendly Hobbies (two locations: Las Vegas, and Henderson)...they truly ARE friendly. Beat of all, even with businesses being closed, they've remained open (albeit, ONLY for "in-store" pickup, & shipping). Thanks, guys, for being open, and for having a Baja Rey in stock. ~ More peace, love, laughter & kindness would make the world a MUCH better place |

This car started out looking at a Jeep truck. The more I learned the further away my feet took me. Biggest thing that engine shut down at a stop light deal ......... yeah I know there is an override button, so what Mustangs been watching for a while. Got interested about 5 years ago, the design refinements took a serious turn for the better. Special ordered in Nov, side note: Ford in the only American car manufacture that has a menu of performance specif packages, you can itemize and purchase. The running mustang shows up, door closed, when door handle is grabbed.. slick Check out the front tires the skinny pair "Z" rated |

Two of my "dream cars" are Mustangs - a '71 Mach 1 (preferably w/ 427 Super CJ), and a '68 (my "birth-year" car). ~ More peace, love, laughter & kindness would make the world a MUCH better place |

My latest RC purchase, just before the Bay Area was shut down because of the virus. Lucky for me our local RC shop has a call in for parts and curb side delivery thing going on, and then there is RPP...I think they are still taking orders. This is my third attempt at a RC4WD truck, the first two where built and sold pretty quickly I really didn't give them much of a chance to prove themselves compared to my current trucks. I have promised myself to really try and get this one working well and understand it is a different beast than a Axial/ Ascender type truck. I have a lot to learn about these rigs.
