Got the Traxxas light kit installed [IMG]light2 by Derek S, on Flickr[/IMG] [IMG]IMG_3441 by Derek S, on Flickr[/IMG] and played some more. I will post more pics of the course but for now it's mostly finding cool angles to play on.

This is my '88 Suburban that I regret selling. I've always been fond of the square bodies. [IMG]IMG_1024 by Derek S, on Flickr[/IMG] and the TRX motivated me to dust off my old Slash and give it some love [IMG]Street Baja Slash 4x4 by Derek S, on Flickr[/IMG] |

No good pics of the servo but I started by trying an amazon 25g china one. It sucked. So I got the red Traxxas with BEC and it made a world of difference. We've been playing around with the course with big plans in mind. For now its plywood bridges and log ramps. [IMG]bridge by Derek S, on Flickr[/IMG] [IMG]bridge2 by Derek S, on Flickr[/IMG] We have some seriously big rocks here [IMG]big1 by Derek S, on Flickr[/IMG] and I convinced my buddy to buy a TRX too [IMG]buddy1 by Derek S, on Flickr[/IMG] |

Got some amazon front and rear bumpers [IMG]front bumper by Derek S, on Flickr[/IMG] [IMG]rear bumper by Derek S, on Flickr[/IMG] and some Proline wheels and tires. May upgrade the wheels but these are great for now [IMG]front2 by Derek S, on Flickr[/IMG] [IMG]IMG_3776 by Derek S, on Flickr[/IMG] [IMG]trx4blz by Derek S, on Flickr[/IMG] |

Those giant rocks in your yard are so cool. I assume that they are part of the natural landscape.

Daggone I can’t see your pictures. Just an image of broken link for all of them. Wish I was able to see them as it sounds awesome! The “cool truck” plates is great! Last edited by Benp; 08-08-2020 at 10:49 AM. |

I’m still getting a broken link IMage. Could very well be on my end is well. My rock walls at home are majority granite as well. The red granite is really slippery. Like slick to the touch. |

That looks like a scene from Jurassic Park. I think that is the best looking TRX-4 body they make. I have to give Kudos for this next suggestion to BenP. It will take ten minutes once you have the part. A Traxxas 9T pinion gear. Makes response snappy with a 3S lipo and great slow crawl. Do some YouTube research for this and other upgrades as well as this sites search engine...what did you do to your TRX-4 today. Don’t box the stock tires....they are actually really good once you do the mods on this site.

[IMG]big1 by D1rkski, on Flickr[/IMG] Can you just pick that up and drop it off at my place in Mid-Michigan? I got Beer and Toilet Paper? Lmao Nice place to play, and own. Last edited by Timmahh; 08-08-2020 at 07:12 PM. |

Great pictures there. Looks like some good backyard crawling. You know you son will soon want to trade in the tonka truck and want his own crawler one day.
