Did a servo upgrade and BEC install on my friends Yeti and also upgraded his Deadbolt with aluminum links + 4 link conversion in the front. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Drove my 1:1s in the snow, drove my non-waterproof wraith in the snow (mistake), and now I'm about to drive my arrma raider again. I just wish there was somewhere close to me where I could go wheel my 1:1 samurai that wouldn't be tresspassing.

Can I suggest a winch or maybe some sand ramps I guess since the Glendale Shoals crawl got snowed out I may rebuild my shocks. Thinking of going to a heavier wt oil, maybe go from 30 to 45. With the new dig assembly my rig is coming in around 6lbs. |

I've built steel links for the scx10, I've replaced driveshafts on Lucy's Everest10, I think I have fixed the issues I was having with the wraith.. Time will tell. Played with the wraith in the snow, done a lot of sledding with Lucy in the snow and watched a s__t ton of YouTube crawler videos... Came to the conclusion that I want to turn the wraith into a Wroncho with either a unimog body or trail finder 2 hilux body... Oh and I need a ton of money to buy/build more crawlers.. Something about being Stuck in the house avoiding the cold starts the wheels a turning... |

I work in Blowing Rock.... What did I do with the Snow? I worked. After work though so far this week I managed to break a CV Axle in my Ascender, and yesterday I got my Mamba Max Pro so hot you could smell burning electronics. Not sure what I've done to it, it still works... Just don't know for how long. I'm also in the Lab building another E-Buggy. |

O sNOw, here we go again. We can't seem to catch a break. I would post something I've repaired or upgraded on my rig, but with the weather we've been having I haven't got to do much crawling with it I well, it can't stay winter for ever - can it?? |
