Default My son and I celebrated our first year of crawling today... Here's our family photo [

What started as two Traxxas Trx-4's turned into three. Two have Castle Mamba-x 2850kv brushless motors.

Then came a Redcat Everest 16, which turned into two. Both are using full size servos thanks to a 3d printed servo mount.

Soon after an SCX10.2 raw builder's kit, then an Orlandoo. The Scx10 has a Hobbywing 1080 ESC and a 27t Team Raffee Co. brushed motor.

I wanted to see what 1/24 Scale trucks were about, so I picked up a Hobbyplus CR-24.

Found a used SCX10.2 that I've been having a lot of fun 3d printing parts for. It's currently running the stock 35t Axial motor with a Traxxas TRX-4 ESC.

And finally, we recently got two Axial SCX24's, which have been a blast.

Nearly all of my trucks are being controlled by a Flysky FS-GT5 radio, which has been awesome. My son is still using stock radios but we intend to get him on a single, better quality radio at some point.

Can't wait to see what our second year brings

Since 11 is an uneven number you'll need to get one more to level it out.

Cool story/ nice looking trucks there!
