Default ORCRC Cold afternoon outing: Silverton. Many pictures!

Dan and I headed out to Silverton, OR to scout a bashing area. Turned out to be pretty neat- river rock, mud, logs and some nice hills. Dan's testing his new leaf-sprung TLT Team Trial Truck, and I escorted him with my 6x6.













Check out that BODY DAMAGE! Yeah!













Trail scratches







Mud-dozer action!







Dive! Dive!

Thanks Sam! Hope you are well. Man I miss Hollister! :( There is some good wheeling up here too thankfully. Did you see my Haflinger in action at Haz-fest?

Thanks folks! I love going under water, as some of you may know. I'm itching to build another scale totally waterproof rig, as I have an extra Mtroniks sitting around. I'm thinking a Tamiya Touareg will be the ticket.

Sweet pictures Ryan!

Tell Dan to add a couple pounds to the rig and the springs might flex

Ryan, oh master of the TLT axles. Once again, sweet rides.

Funny you mention Hollister. Just went today with my friend Pete in his Scout. Since my Suburban is taking a dump, I couldn't tow Slinky there though we tried to hook it up to his Scout. His is just a tad too high.

I didn't realize that was your Hafflinger there. Looks different for some reason. Did you put on bigger tires

If anyone gets a chance to see this thing in person, you will love it. Cable locking diffs, golf cart sized tires, and the capability to go anywhere the big boys go..... even with all 2 cylinders popping.

Hello rbgerrish,
Do those HPI tires on your 6x6 work well. and Is there a way that I can get in contact with Dan so I can ask him a question about the Losi tires on his team trial truck?
Thanks,
Merrixs
