Finding out that the more I run my backyard course the more interesting it gets. The rocks & clay base dirt are still wet from all the rain we've gotten in the past 12 days. It makes my course that I ran fairly easy when dry, very very interesting. Tested a few new obstacles for the course. Now just need to decide where to add them in & find some time to install them. Here's a pic from today. Thanks for checking out my build! Have a great day! Sent from my SM-S975L using Tapatalk |

It's been a busy busy week. Haven't had much time tinkering or running my rig. Noticed that I'm getting some rust here & there. Some on my hardware & some on the frame & links. What's the solution for rusting? I want to take care of my rig & keep it running top notch. Here's a pic of the underside of my chassis. Can definitely tell it spends allot of time on the rocks Thanks for any & all info! Hope everyone has a great day! Sent from my SM-S975L using Tapatalk |

| Re: AnimalHippie's Trx-4 Adventure Yea they're pretty rough! LoL! Can bind up a tire quick in some spots. Super grippy & fun tho! That's only a month in! I'd say 20 - 2200 3s packs on the rocks. I figure if I it's getting rusty I'm not running it enough! For real any suggestions on preserving my frame? |

I would look into the various rust "converters", what they do is change the rust to an inert state where it can no longer rust. One plus is that once treated it will turn black. This is a product that you just apply to the rust, you dont have to sand. I haven't bothered to do anything about the rust on mine but I've got some too. It must be something about where the skid and sliders are for the TRX-4, compared to other rigs this rig just likes to drag frame lol |

I've used ospho on my 1:1 axles when they were rusty. It worked great. Just didn't know if there was something special or better for the application. Obviously it's gonna get some more abuse. Guess I'll try one then once it's scratched through try the other |

A little lunch time crawl to take my mind off things for a few sorry for the camera work. Still learning to drive & video. A stronger servo will be my next purchase. The power hd 20k just not doing it for me. Guess I'll turn it into a servo winch once I get a new one. Hope you guys enjoy the video! Have a great day! https://youtu.be/JoCnHY2GY9o |

Forgot to upload this the other day. Crawl through my lunch time spot. This is a great place to play. The terrain is always changing due to it being a storm water drain area. My apologies for the poor camera work. I'm learning Enjoy! https://youtu.be/eC6rbVjtGoA |

After a long 3 day weekend with the mouse. Thanks to my awesome in-laws we stayed at a resort & had 3 day passes for all the Disney parks. It was a blast! The girls loved it. I'm finally starting to get back to the norm. Will be finishing up the toolbox & some other little scale goodies for my rig soon. Also have some really cool stuff I'm doing to the back yard course. Got to play alittle bit yesterday afternoon. Starting to like the Iroks. They do really good on the rocks when they're dry. Will post some pics once I get a chance to tinker/build some more. Have a great day! Sent from my SM-S975L using Tapatalk |

| Re: AnimalHippie's Trx-4 Adventure I'm really a hippie LOL not just a name I wear tie dye almost daily & always have a hemp necklace with some metaphysical stone on it. don't know if you know about rainbow people, but I got the name Animal at the rainbow gathering by the fire one night. While I was drumming on 3 djembe drums at once also had a 10 month beard & no hair cut for more then a year. Was looking like Animal from the Muppets. Got the name. It stuck. All my friends call me animal now. I'm also usually the crazy guy anywhere I go never know what I might say our do |

I always pictured Pant Danza as a retired baseball player turned cab driver and Animal Hippie as some overly aggressive drummer with crazy eyes. Yep.. I'm just that old! |

Hahaha, that's too funny. I did grow up playing baseball, switched over to hockey though until I broke my wrist and 2 surgeries took me out of the game. Still dealing with that crap, it hinders how I'd like to play the guitar but nothing that time and practice can't get me through. | |
