Default NIRC. Chit Chat

So after a crash into a curb at 60 my strc chassis is bent at the rear axle and now drives horribly. I wasn't driving driving so I'm not that pleased. I'm wondering if any of you have experience with speed runs. I'm wondering if the traxxas rally chassis is going to work better than the strc set up I was running.

The campsites are pretty weak like a barren exposed field. The crawling though definitely awesome. I kinda regret not going there today the rocks are the best.

No event. Just a gtg.
My girlfriend and went to Madison and I decided to the WI forum... and they were having a gtg 30 miles away, so I went.
It was a lot of fun, great terrain and good group of guys... about 15 or so were out.

lol, I took that pic just for you!

A lot of those rocks are big... real BIG.
I had my mini on them... a super would be awesome out there.

I seriously think we should go camping up there for a 3 day weekend.
