Those HPI grabbers and RC4WD scale shocks work awsome.I couldn't very well sell my only working rig could I? Thou I do have a JK in the works but far from done, trying to make a real scaler.I like how my trade mark are the fact that my shoes end up in every pic where my truck is, I was telling jesse it's time to get a 2.4ghz for some decent signals. Let me know if anyone finds a deal on a used 3ch. Last edited by rcracer; 12-06-2009 at 07:18 PM. | |

I would never ever do that to one of my rigs. Its almost painful for me to watch you guys play in the mud. My imagination starts to imagine all the parts getting worn down by grit and grime. Gear boxes getting filled with mud and contaminating the grease. Gears grinding away. Screws rusting and decaying away. And those poor motors. Its horrible. I literally wince when I see pictures and video of the abuse.

We have rough winters with salt ridden roads, we get used to rust and decay on our daily drivers. We cope :-P | |

I know all about winter driving and salt corrosion. Although, I think they switched to de-icer instead of salt. Anyways, I have no problem getting my 1:1 dirty. Hell I dont even wash it. But to do that to an RC, is maddening.

You work with what you got and trail riding is what Michigan can provide most, you happen to be blessed with beautiful natural landscape of rocky terrain that is nicely dry. the best we have to rocks are gathered stones and boulders. If they made the switch from salt I'm glad but what will the city blame all these pot-holes on next?  I do need to repack the axles and trans with diff grease and "slick-50" the bearings, spray cleaner on the motor. I look at it this way, it could be a lot worse, I could be doing the same exact thing to a $10,000 real truck or a much cheaper toy. granted not as much fun as the real thing but worth my time and effort on my current budget Last edited by rcracer; 12-07-2009 at 07:31 AM. | |

I live in the desert now but I grew up in washington state. Didnt know the de-icer caused pot holes. Works a hell of a lot better than salt though. Neglect my o3 dodge ram quad door extended bed hemi? Yea, Im guilty of that. It runs synthetic lucas 10-w30 and havent changed the oil in about 7 thousand miles. It also needs brakes but I dont stop that often so ill get to it next year. Its dirty, I think I washed it 2 years ago when I was in washington. Well, thats not true. It gets washed every time it rains here. I think my comment was taken out of context. I was just being comedic. However, I would never do that to one of my rigs. Ive got a lot more than 300 dollars into it and Im obsessive compulsive over it. I would be cleaning it for days and I hate cleaning. I think the scale stuff is pretty cool. Its not my thing but I do appreciate the videos. I was being honest when i said it was painful to watch. That doesnt mean you shouldnt keep doing what your doing! Actually, some carnage shots of the internals would really be interesting. Quote:

I meant if they did switch to de-icer that's great but the roads here are terrible and the city always blames it on the weather or salt on the roads. If they switch to de-icer I can only imagine what the excuse of the year will be and not poor construction they spent our money on  no prob, if you were being comedic that's cool but to everyone else they are just words so throw in a few  's or and all is good.

Ok, proven to fail in typically most quality made turbo cars (Mitsu, Nissan, Subaru). Also Mobil One is pretty bad in Mitsu's and Subaru's. Hmm...I'm now so far off topic. Jesse was so happy when the Hotness fell in I bet. He likes to play in the mud a lot. I didn't know Scott liked mud though. |
