Johnny we may need to do some bashing this weekend at foster! My Revo is up an running! I wanna go FAST!

I need to figure out exponential steering I think, I have no idea how that works but the steering is way too sensitive...and quick.

Foster anyone?
The Rock Rider is running but no way it can keep up with the erevo!

I'll bring the RR, bike and maybe a new and improved Melons...

We need a ramp!

This is a weekend of welding and brazing for me. Once my wife's surgery happens on Tuesday and will be her personal water boy for about a week.

I'm using this little R/C vacation to get some work done on my 1:1 92' Toyota X-cab Pickup, still IFS, 6" total lift, 33's, Ford 302 with cam, aluminum heads & intake & exhaust, C4 reverse manual A/T, RF1A case..

Should be fun if it ever gets done! I want to do that camping/offroading trip this season with the big & little rigs.

The truck sounds bad assets and a camping trip would be a lot of fun!

Rick, I think I'm going to use that chassis for a C1 and we can build the Ford whenever...

This is what is going on my RC8Te thanks to DieLaughing, who merged together a 17mm hex hub (cheap Integy ones eh) and a HPI Baja 24mm hub!

Well these are the 5B Desperados which are are beadlocks and they are actually a bit taller; the sidewalls aren't as big tall on the 5B/5T tires. I.e. the tires I'm going to run are 6.84" compared to the 8th scale Trenchers which are 6.89". However the sidewall is like half if not less on the 5th scale tires. Really I want to do this so that I can stretch the RC8T and make it more 5th scale.

I was actually running 8th scale Trenchers with Tech5 wheels (they hadn't come out with the Desperados yet) on my Flux; they were pretty nice tires for the 8th scale MT!

That's cool! I have zero knowledge about these rigs. I've run across a kit for this thing to make it 5th scale too. Right now, this guy only gets the essentials to keep it running though. Ordered some CVDs becuase the output shafts in the rear look like they're about to give at the universal joint. The fronts look new, but that doesn't surprise me because theres no weight on them really during accelleration...since this thing is in a wheelie 90% of the time.

Yeah that is the transmission doing that; you can get the center diff option for the Revo which would help, but on the flip side (hahaha) it wouldn't do wheelies near as well.

Pick up a Traxxas Wheelie Bar PN# 5472

http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXVEU6&P=ML

And wheels in blue

http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXVEV0&P=M

or Red

TowerHobbies.com | 5186 Traxxas Mounted Wheelie Bar Tires/Wheels Red (2).

Beate the aftermarket ones as it can be adjusted to keep the wheelies under control or way up for wild off road work.
