Also starting a back yard crawler course. Will be adding pics of the crawlers and the course as we go.

We have a lot of area to work with, and plenty of rocks that just need to be hauled in.

We have had two casulities here, one lost the set screw that holds on the front hub, other one fried the Esc buy putting a connector on a new battery pack backwards.

I don't plan ( don't plan lol) to do much modding to this model...... We will see what happens, but I do know it won't be for awhile.

Re: 3 new crawlers 3 new mad torque
 

in a couple of the pictures I see a car with the front up against a tree and the front wheels off.
it also seems to be partly dug in. looking like it had crashed and been abandoned.

believing it was done on purpose (artistic license), I thought it was "cute".
no offense meant.
