There is nothing like seeing one of these giants bucking around on 14.4 volts, jumping, wheelies, and grins from ear to ear. By far one of the greatest rigs I have owned! Just wait till you see all my new ideas! |

Yes, both of these rigs have to be the most fun things I've ever driven. 666's on 14.4 volts is a freakin blast to haul a$$ around with jumping and pulling wheelies. You couldn't wipe the smile off my face!

Wish I could have had the chance to see these beast charged up! What a cool couple of rigs! I don't know what madrok's problem was but I am glad to see his ignorant post deleted. Keep up the good work slugs! Them two rigs are one of a kind!! |

Ok time to get back to work Friday night at Nats was a crazy time with finishing the devils rig and then the mad rush to get Shelly up and running, next year I am bringing an 8' table Friday night the chassis was quickly touched up, ground, and then painted. The drive train was then installed and the assembly began. Saturday night after getting back from dinner the electronics were installed and the test run yielded better than expected results. Sunday She hit the rocks and even caught the eye of our Japanese friend from RC world. I just wish he could have seen her done! Fast forward to today and things are picking back up. I decided top keep things very simple out back so there is just a tool box (RX box) and the spare tire. Here is the tool box in its humble beginnings. Saturday I have a job interview but the rest of the day will be devoted to getting stuff done! I need to hit up the LHS for some styrene siding for the tool box and if the Lovell rig lets me the winch will be mounted. |

Lookin good slugz! Friday night was crazy, I think i spent more time working on 666's over the trip than I did driving or working on any of my stuff! But it was worth every second. Didn't we burn up (literally), something like 4 motors and two pinions? I can't wait to crawl with the twins again, especially if shelly is done. |

| Well, I have broke both the front stock axles, a front axle housing, stripped the 1st gear in the tranny, bent a shock shaft, many rod ends, and Paris broke her sunglasses. Not too bad considering what I have done to it!! |

| I have not broke those yet, just the inners. I was hoping to get some cvd's for the front but they got lost in the mail. So I guess I will use my surplus of stock Clod axles! You have to see this thing with 2 Mag Mayhems!! It is fun!!! |

Still much to do but here are the first poser pics. I tried to recycle the piece that goes in front of the windshield but it was a no go. It was far to windy today to get all of the tube done but the important part is done. Wheeling pics are coming Sunday since she will be running in the super class |
