Hey guys. Got any good ideas how I could incorporate this into one of the trucks in a cool way? My pit had trouble losing his baby teeth and let me pull them out. Thinking clean them up good and using as a hood ornament. Maybe on top of the cab as horns even. Grill?

I'm sure everyone had a GREAT time. The pictures were very cool. Wish I could have made it but FAMILY comes first. Looking forward to the next one. Props to Johnny for taking the trophy.

I saw that.

Think I might use the widened AX10 axles on the Clod. Will need to add some "fender flares" to account for the extra width compared to the cab's width. But perhaps that, along with some more weight in wheels, will help with the "roll over" issues I keep having.

Timmy has always had a problem with endoing. i think the high fwd cog with the overdrive front makes it way easy to nose flip.

Man it's going to keep me from buying shit living up here...I went on RPP to get some recovery boards for the upcoming two G6 events and shipping up here is 3 times the cost of the item! I guess I just need to go to Home Depot and figure out a way to make some.

My NQD Jet Boat arrived yesterday, straight out of the box it will not steer. These things are cheap! Lol

Anyone know where a good thread for upgrades on these things is?

I don't know what the hell happened but, I've been really busy lately.. Even with 2 months until the rc4wd event, I'm not sure if I can get my C2 TJ rig done right & tested before that event. I might have to keep an eye on the classifieds for a killer artr/rtr C2 rig. Maybe you guys will spot something.. Or maybe Jason will rent me timmy.

I'll have to pull it off the shelf and check it out.. Probably not much considering Trey can build complete baller rigs in like 4 minutes. I'll see if I can get after it tonight.
