Just some pictures of the POS playing on the "under construction" trials course in my backyard

That rig ain't gonna last long! These things hate water and mud.

That's some nice dirt and rock you got there.

Looks to be a nice little course... Will it be for the Nylint or is it for the larger rigs also.

Who cares I figure I have gotten my $40 worth of fun out of it. I have shimmed and re-shimmed the axles about 4 times now and they have just started to round off the gears rather than just "skip" teeth.


It goes much better on slick ground, then the wheels actually turn, otherwise the rear axle grinds like mad.

I had imagined it being for all my RC's but only the Nylint and Tamiya XC/CC sized rigs can have fun on it. 2.2's and the larger trucks roll right over the whole area. It's kinda small, about 6'x15' plot of dirt. I plan to bring in more dirt and more smaller rocks to build an even better XC/CC trials course.

This is how it looked a couple years ago when I first started on it. I have just added a couple more rocks and couple extra wheelbarrow loads full of dirt...although most is still sitting off to the side waiting to be put into place. I have a bridge in the works too. It's fun....I hope to expand the size a bit more this winter.

mine doesnt seem to mind. It floats though so that could be why.

You could use a servo as a speed control and then water proof everything.

This is why I call it a POS. It's how it's classified for the ORCRC events. Plus my Maxx rig is waiting on Revo parts and some other goodies, the TLT is also waiting for last few bits to be finished up. The Nylint runs...sort of. Plus I'm trying to finish up the mini trials course for this weekend when my nephew brings his 1/18 Scorpion over to run on the track
