Sweet grand hauler! I've owned a few road rc cars, but never any big rigs. I always get bored with them and sell them because they can't go off road. Got bored with my helicopter too lol.

Yeah I gotta sell my heli too. No balls to fly it. Thought it was a good idea at the time to get one built, but aircraft are really not for me. However, there will be a new gas boat in my life one day.

Natedog is on the Horizon payroll. He's been trying to keep it a secret, but I'm onto him.

That would be nice, but my only sponsor is me and desire to spread the word on what imo is a great new crawler that had teething problems that were thankfully quickly addressed and fixed by Horizon. I'm really enjoying mine, working to make it better with torque twist and parting out/letting sit all my other crawlers as they gather dust these days.

As of last night, I got alloy c's and k's, rear lockouts, and drive hexes, wheels, and lights coming. I already have the gcm rear axle truss and a set of HR spring shocks sitting here. I'm waiting to score some other stuff (tires, foams, body, front bumper, winch, other scale accessories) this Friday if the right people have sales

At this time, I would like to thank Natedog for keeping me in the game and convincing me to spend another $432 on this project. And it's still not done. There's just no end in sight yet lol.

Not too thrilling, but as of today, installed are 100mm HR spring shocks, GCM axle truss and SSD diff covers. Still waiting on a bunch of stuff.
