So the plan today was to hit the Table Rock trail head, however the trail was slammed, finding a parking spot was difficult, and dogs and people were everywhre.... So I chose to go somewhere else.

I stumbled upon a couple playing in the rocks and followed them around a bit....





I took a couple tumbles and ended up breaking the joint in the bed seam. Glued back together since I got home...

I had a great day yesterday, entered my first "comp" and did ok, I guess. It was just a little practice comp put on by our local group. My truck performed well, but I didn't do as well as I wanted to. lol. I made some rookie mistakes, and incured some reverse penalties I shouldn' t have taken, not looking ahead. I completed the course in 8 min, and should not have tried the bonus gate, almost pointed out due to a rollover and hitting both gates.

Then went on a trail ride after and just had fun!

The Trx4 is a beast, But the Trail King rules Supreme!

I swapped in Vanquish UD gears into the rear axle...



Went out again, A Scx10II, the Trx4 and My King hit the Pennitentiary again...

She came off the pack today due to my wraith eating her ESC and Servo...

I broke the bumper in a nasty tumble last time out, so no front bumper today.

Welll I am tired of breaking the hard body...

It fell off my pack yesterday, and the bed broke in half so instead of gluing it back together, I tossed my Wraith Spawn body on... And I kinda dig it. Super simple, body posts and everything...







Time to go out and beat up on some Capras...

Oh and dropped a pound of weight off the rig.

Yup i agree, love that Bronco bod. I still it a proline? Gonna braze up a roll cage for it I assume? Will look great.

Love all the trail pics. Looks like you have a back yard course as well?

Yes, it is the old, discoed Bronco body from Proline. I have the plastic cage for it ready to go.

I figured a Trail King should be seen on the Trail.

The Backyard course is a work in progress, just need to figure out how to kill some nasty vines that take over in the summertime, add more stuff, such as bridges climbs ect...
