If not I guess I'll just crawl by myself again

Haha just kidding its just been a while since we have gone out.

I just need my scaler..... It should be here / done by the end of the month.

Got my scaler built and driving, just needs a couple finishing touches and some modifications. Who's up for a trail run?

[Blazefighter]

I'm always game! Just let me know, I'm free most afternoons.

Sheesh I was getting the feeling I was the only one left!

Just finished working some more bugs out of my 6x6 so I think its ready. And my JK has a fresh set of DarkSoul Wheels on it now.

I was thinking that too! No one responded to my post. Where is everyone?

I'm just putting finishing touches on my scaler. And planning upgrades.
My second servo should be coming in today, and hopefully my toyota decals.

Im still here Just have been busy a F&CK. I got mine all rebuilt, well almost. I want to put a new cab on but other than that everything is good.

[Egnix]

I'm still waiting for my scaler to build itself.

[neoakaj]

In fact I feel my self getting back into alot of the RC stuff this year. I am going to rebuild the HPI Baja 5B and I am thinking about picking up a new short course truck, the Mini one from HPI. Does anyone know if where is a good place to run off road anymore?

[Blazefighter]

As far as I know the church track is still going strong. Havent been up there in a long time though since I dont have anything that goes fast anymore.

[neoakaj]

I wont be going back to that church track again after what they did to me. Lucky for them I didnt turn them in to the tax department of the county.

Tempting, but I try to use the Honcho build as motivation to get my other crap done. Keep thinking "I can't start on the Honcho until I get done." So far it's not working.

What happened at the church track Jason?

I have donated alot of money to that track to keep it around for the community and if people are walking away fom there angry it caches my attention. Feel free to PM me if you don't want to out it on the forum.

The church track itself is a bit loose around this time of year when it has had no maintenance. It is by no means perfect but it wouldn't be so easily accessible to everyone if it was. It's more suited to 1/8th scale than shortcourse trucks anyways.

I have had a lot of good tomes there and I think it is a great place to run. And if anyone is being harassed there let me know and I have numbers for a couple of people that have a controlling interest in that track.

Well, I'm finally back from my traveling (work) and am ready to get back to the scaler. Still have a lot of misc. crap to do, but as long as I (or someone else) can figure why the $%&# the motor keeps surging, I will be ready to roll here shortly.

BTW - Greg, I'm ready to setup the sidewinder whenever you're available!

Here's A few pics of my scaler progress after cut body, extended rear fenders, stinger, rockers, etc. I still need to cut the front bumper down, fab the rear bumper, roll cage, finish up the interior, new tires, paint the whole thing, lower the ride height, LED's, blah blah...

I was there yesterday as well. It's no place for BL 2wd SC trucks, maybe not even BL 4wd SC trucks, but my revo likes it

Still going to come out there soon!


I think we all need to get together for a scale run and chat about setups, ideas, etc.

Yes sir! Still have a little body work left to do and then I will paint the exterior and interior.

Also think i'm gonna either make a chassis mounted servo mount or just buy the Hand Bros kit.

I can show you how to make it. I just did it on my honcho. Well half way, need to finish it as soon as I can get more links.
