Once you run an "Erzberg" Stage in the G6, you will understand. Besides, the Wraith/2.2 Training Wheel Class are going to LOVE Spice Island

I'll make sure to bring my wraith floaties

Yup, Rob gave me a little extra line.
Should you be posting now that your public enemy #1? Are we all on some kinda government watch list now?

It was, young G6'er, but the t-shirt reads as follows;

Front.....What is a RECON G6 Challenge?

Back....What ever Parker wants it to be!

You weren't kidding......that's a Birthday Bash outfit!



Nope, JEEP recovery line. It's a Jeep thing, when your hooked to it, you will understand!
Hey PARKER... Thats not funny. Besides my winch gets me stuck just fine

so ive been getting my rig G6 worthy so i started making a full course in my back yard it's gunna be huge
but today i decided that my foam sucks. it's like i was driving on flat tires everywhere. so i went to my LHS for soem and they wanted 30 bucks for 2 pairs of foam. so that wasnt gunna happen
soooooo i went and bought some foam and cut it to size and put it in the tires and honestly it's the best foam i've ever used. it's a little stiff but i like it.
then i got board so i started getting my rig snow ready with new tires and chains
and i made some fancy tow straps
the top one is 8", the 2 in the middle are 1' and the one rolled up it 2' and there strong as hell. ive never made one before and there kinda cool

AND I DID ALL 4 FOAMS AND ALL THE TOW STRAPS FOR ABOUT 5 BUCKS
heres some pics

TOW STRAPS!!


heres the old foam in the tire


NEW FOAM!!




My old Foam compared to my new foam


and the snow mobber

Dude, those tow straps look sick and the chains, damn son, BAD! Great functioning scale item, G6'er.

Where did you get the foam from?

Zack, straps look great and great budget idea on the foams . i'll remember those next time. as far as price i think Parker has a line on some decent tow straps from a local surplus store for .25 cents each.

i added a 1/2 " dia. ring and a modified 3x treble hook to mine to make it more functional. that's what's cool about making your own.

oh no, i forgot what site i'm on, hope i'm not in any more trouble with the powers that be

Just caught this from Facebook, new kit from Axial....

AX90021 AXIAL SCX10™ w/DINGO™ Body. 1/10th Scale Electric 4WD Truck - Kit

Nothing earth-shattering, actually a nice kit. but read the copy on the website, it's got "G6" written all over it.

Congrats boys, your now part of R.C. history!!

I didn't see any mention of the G6... I probably skimmed right past it...

Yeah, it's pretty much implied, I may have gotten a little too excited.

I just noticed the "adventure series " logo on the upper right. Theyre marketing copy is a little different than what we've seen in the past:


We dare you to think differently about R/C! If you can hike there, your SCX10™ will drive there! With today's efficient motor and long lasting batteries, you are only limited by your imagination and or your physical readiness to adventure out onto a hike while driving your SCX10™. What better way to get in touch with nature, spend time with your friends and family and having a ton of fun while doing so! And because this is a Builders-Kit™ your off-road preparation and readiness skills will give you the piece of mind and that every nut and bolt has been touched by your hands.

O.K., the last bit is a lttle, well, wierd. But to me this seems to have a big G6 influence, I dunno. I probably should get out more.


Gotta admit, the Dingo looks great in Orange...
