Percy Priest 10/3 aka Soundcolor's Birthday bash pics

[66sprint6]

Some of us couldnt make the trip down with the rest of yall this past weekend so we decided to try and give the Percy Priest Dam spot another try and celebrate Soundcolor's birthday with a different style bash...a scale crawler bash!!! Looks like EVERYONE made a couple changes since last time we met up so it was very interesting. I hacked up my poor Yota body to save what I could and try to make it perform a little better. I moved my steering servo, lowered the battery again and tried my hand at making some bumpers. Ed was out testing some hacked Flat Irons (AWESOME!) and Andy brought out the Comanche body along with some Swampers. Ill let the pics do the talkin...

OUCH...Soundcolor was the only one to try and beat me in the carnage class...and Ide say he did a good job!

Ok...after I went thru 2 battery packs and Soundcolor decided to toast his tranny we decided to regroup and do some thrashing to get back on the trail. Ed swapped the new tranny he literally only an hour or two earlier tradded to Soundcolor while Soundcolor wired me up for Deans so I can run LiPo. Thanks again guys, Im now hooked and dont ever wanna go thru so many batteries again in one day LOL

Back to it, and this time down by the water for some FUN!!!


Thought this was a cool set of pics...ALMOST made it

Peekaboo

Awesome wheely spot that Soundcolor found

Andy went up flat as can be LOL good balanced rig.


Knocked em BOTH out...lost the last one tho, anyone got a set of Hilux headlights I can buy???





This was a common happening for me unfortunately...hard to keep up with the modded honcho guys but I tried and tried. This eventually led to my poor Yota's demise.

Got home and only one of the 4 pillars holding the roof was still in tact...until I got to checkin it out and it snapped right off LOL

Ive got plans to reconstruct and try again...we'll see what happens. All in all it was a GREAT time and I cant wait to get this thing back up and runnin again! I know some video was shot and I hope itll get posted up soon, but thanks again guys for another great scale ride!
