Default Thanks to RCCrawler....

I found one more way to spend my money. Well after reading and looking at all the great stuff on here i started looking for something fun. I'm not much into R/C racing but i did have some fun with my onroad at a local indoor track. My freinds race hardcore almost take the fun out of it so its gone. Well priced out some WK's and on my last stop for pricing they had a used one 4x4 in all. Looked like it had only seen carpet not a mark on any of it oh and it had diff's locked and moabs on. So it came home and was hidden from the girlfreind. I said to myself that it would only get upgraded as it broke....well it did and now it will get full project-snowball-out-of-control-way-of-doing-things-i-like Some pic's of what started me on this. #1 CVD's and well its all downhill from here.

Welcome. Looks like someone got you off to a good start, and some fun was had by the broken parts.
