Thank you!

Krylon Fusions White Paint like 5 coats.

And of course hand sanding them to best of my ability with scraps of sandpaper.

Looks sharp! I like the colours and co-ordination.

[JCon]

I have been trying to get some vids, but everytime rains stops black flies come out full force lol.

I will soon though, I have been working on a little rock setup close to the house, also going to add a section with firewood.

[JCon]

Well nothing new. Radio went screwy lol Until a new one shows up not much I can do.

Its ripped apart atm to mock up my other build. LHS run tomorrow, rod ends, and allthread I think some new links on this beast...

[cabron]

got the bug to create/modify?
when is your (fs gt3b is it?) radio arriving?
cant wait

[JCon]

I do have a bug now lol .... But TBH I need something to do. Working shift work, and my wife working shift work, I find myself with a lot of down time, sometimes 3 and 4 in the morning not much to do other than toke and work on these rigs lol

I like building/mofiying just as much as driving them.

unfortunately I cant place the order until mid next week. just gonna get a gt3b basic I don't have rear steer on this atm anyway.


But looks to be I can get it for 45 cad shipped. I believe that's like slow from china....

spend a few more dollars from a us seller somewhere get it quicker..

No fun. I remember those days in Florida from years ago. Watch crap fly one direction, then wait, watch same crap come back.

[JCon]

ya lol. still people around here no power or internet or phone.

mother nature making her presence known again

[cabron]

feel for you

but on the other hand, plenty of time to plan
and you dont need power to turn a die or tap hahahaha
loght some candles and drink some room temp beer

[JCon]

been a little slow all around for a bit.
Lots of stuff going on, but I will be back into the build/s very soon

[Mikey307]

Dig the build. Last year I did the same thing with a Wraith and Gen 1 Bully 2.2 axles. Getting rid of it was the biggest mistake I have ever made in this hobby as it was the best of both worlds and a BLAST to wheel. When my Rs10 gets here I am going to slowly build it onto a SCX10 frame set. Keep up the good work!

[JCon]

I love the rig. the old rs10 shuld be alive and kicking over the next month.

[mbcrawler08]
