First day, wow....

[SteveB1]

So, went out for my first adventure in the desert on the west side of Las Vegas with my new Wraith Spawn and really enjoyed the afternoon.



I now see why everyone loves these trucks. I'm impressed.

Always fun to get out. Besides las Vegas is shut down so what else you going to do lol. Charge a bunch of batteries and bring lots of trucks. By the way pictures of this so called adventure would be nice to see.

Welcome to the site! Post up some photos of your rig. This hobby is very fun and addicting.

[SteveB1]

I feel a little challenged, but I can't figure out how to post photos. Said I cannot create album.



I did get some good photos and a video.!


Now I'm trying to sell off some rimfire ammo locally to fund a shopping spree for parts.



I'm a SCT guys, but I'm totally hooked on crawling after my first day. I absolutely felt like a kid ( aside from back and shoulder pain )

I suggest signing up for a photo hosting site such as Imgur.com. Once you upload photos to that site you can get links to embed the photos here.

Now's the time to sell ammo if you don't want it. There's a huge buying rush on it. But if you are going to use it anytime soon I suggest you hold onto it because people are predicting another shortage/price gouging on ammo.

Awesome. Will do right now.



I agree on the ammo, but so many parents off from work that might have the chance to take the young ones out for some safe shooting, that it's sucks the gunstores and ranges are closed. I have plenty to sell, and I hope I can move some at fair prices so they can use this time with their kids. Hope it works out.

Let's see if this works

Looks good!

Welcome to the forum and the addiction SteveB1! Wraith's are a great all arounder with potential to take them in all sorts of directions when upgrading / personalizing.

I can see it. Great photos!

There's a different and, in my opinion, better way to embed photos. Go to your username at the top of Imgur and select "Images". Click on the image you want to share and a side menu will come up. Click "Huge Thumbnail" at the bottom and then copy the BBCode or Linked BBCode link. I used Linked BBCode myself.

No, no. Photos are way too huge. You chose the wrong link. Delete these links and try again.

[SteveB1]

Ok, how is that?

[AK KRAWLER]

That size looks great.

Great looking rig too!!!

Thanks. The wife joined me on the adventure and did the photo work. The videos were also pretty nifty.



I really want this madness of corona to pass and get things going again. So many upgrades to do, and you guys are an awesome resource. I appreciate all the great info here.

Nice looking crawler and great pics!

[Levi]

Pictures look good. Does vegas have lots of good crawling out there?

[SteveB1]

Thanks all, I appreciate the comments.



Vegas is loaded with places. "Nevada contains forty-eight million acres of public land"


It's endless really, with everything from dried lake beds to mountains with pine trees. I mountain bike a lot and the places I have been are stunning. I actually got into RC only a few months ago as a way to stay entertained after a serious crash that really messed up my left arm. Well now I'm hooked pretty bad.


Been showing my two sons the hobby, and my 9 year old loves it a lot. We are starting on a rock garden this coming weekend out back!



I have some video and photos on my IG page; coffeeforkona if you want to see them.



I just want to thank everyone again for the help and sharing of the info. I appreciate the help.

[JatoTheRipper]

Photos look great now!

You have such an awesome crawling spot.

[SteveB1]

Many thanks. Yes, all of my years riding my bike through the desert and it never crossed my mind. I have a few ideas rolling around in my head, and I will share some later on.



Again, thanks for the support and I'm glad I discovered this new world.
