Thanks guys. I wasn't really complaining this time though. Just stating that it was supposed to be something different. And my new free compressor won't build up much past 20 psi, so it is kinda shitty...!

Here's a few of the Yeti at the outdoor track. The Tekin Pro4 4000kV motor felt good but a little undergeared. It handled very predictably and felt planted on the course.

Oakfield ledge after work today before my phone died.


There is some really good trailing here might be some good crawl spots too but I had my work clothes on. Rock quarry just up the road, creek bed, lots of smaller obstacles on the trail.

Any one know where I can get some magnets at or got a good way to mount a new bright body without body clips?

Look for neodymium magnets on amazon. There's lots to choose from. I'm not convinced magnets work great for bodies

Well I got some magnets that I'm going to try just to see if it works and if not I will use them to mount my scale accessories

There was a guy at redgrannit using magnets to hold his body on. Every time the truck rolled or rubbed something the body fell off.

So Pro-line released a 2500HD body for the Honcho. I'm thinking about turning my rig into a sort of Mountain Rescue/Paramedics rig. Anyone have any ideas on what I could use to make a scale backboard/stretcher? I found a 1/25th scale one, but nothing in 1/10th scale. Also does anyone have a vinyl printer or know someone who can do scale decals for me?

Got bored tonight and started working on something new. Must have had one too many during the badger game. Forgot to mask.... FML. Anyway, cut the windows out and thinking of what to do with them.

I'm thinking about taking a drive up to High Cliff this weekend. What are the good trails to check out? The map on google has a marker out in the water.
