Hellz yeah!

I'm really looking forward to having some new trail buds to run with, always more fun with a group. Super, Rock Monster, myself and sometimes HeroSlayer hit the trails pretty regular, always a blast and you just never know what kind of goofy shit is gonna happen .

Cool, always good to check out what others have going.

I moved my TF-2 jibberjabber to the WI rigs and also posted some starter pics for your viewing pleasure .

[crawlinisfun]

I've always wanted to do a true scale tire, body, and suspension wise but just haven't yet, I like to focus all my funds on one rig, but miss the short course races and 2.2 comps

[corporatelemon]

Even though I just got my lcc going im looking for another rig already

[460bronco]

I just had to share with someone! I was searching for bronco bodies online, and saw a post that someone is testing a new short course bronco body for pro line. In case you couldn't tell,I'm kinda a bronco nut. I have more than I need but still need more.
Anyway, this is the one thing that would really get me involved in scale rc, is having a bronco bodied rig. I know a short course truck body may not be ideal an may be a little big, but do you guys think it could be done decently? The true scale raptor body is just a bit narrow to fit over the wheels of my wraith but were not talking about that,were talking big nasty bronco. And off road tires always stick out! So scx frame, wraith axles? I have never had an scx and I am jumping the gun here big time but I guess I got excited

[corporatelemon]

Its all good. People put wraith axles un scx chassis all the time and I bet with that body it would look sweet

[460bronco]

Say corporate, I never sell stuff online, and I see you're into the the losi comp crawler. I have one I haven't used in years. I know governor dodge is a ways off, but hopefully there will be another outing to go to before then. If your interested in one for parts or a second rig let me know. We could meet up

[corporatelemon]

Text me some pics im always up for parts trucks I think you have my number

[460bronco]

Actually I never did

[TrailDawg362]

There's several early Bronco bodies out there, and maybe even on for the Wraith. Check Dynamic Concepts, he's a vendor here. He's listed in the vendor section under bodies.

I'm a Chevy guy at heart, but I like the older Ford stuff too.

[TrailDawg362]

I was flipping through some old pics and found a classic example of "goofy shit" happening....you'd think someone that age would know better

[corporatelemon]

Oh man that's classic

[460bronco]

That pic is wild.
Everybody and their brother make an early bronco body. I wanted to find a 79 bronco body but I found what looks like an 80 to86 body. The body lines are not quite right and I can't see the grill good enough to tell for sure though. I have both that I am building. 81 has a SAS and the 79 has a 460. Those are my good ones

[crawlinisfun]

Took the trucks out today for some fun in the snow, and my truck showed is age today broke a bunch of stuff guess it's time to do the build I've wanted to do for the last 3 winters but finally have the push to do it backhalved, tundra body(Toyota guy at heart), and ar60 axles I'll post pics in I few days going to start next weekend on the tube work

[Boneshaker]

so Corp and super know but Saturday I picked up a

RTR wraith.
two onyx 2cell 5000mah batteries $45 each.
Onyx245 dual charger $119
DEANS connectors and some tools

total $637 BUT

been messing with it inside last couple days and today I was on carpet and went forward reverse and forward again and when I went in reverse the rear tires came up and when I went forward it the tires came down and I heard a pretty loud snap. so I took the truck to my bench and the motor was hot I mean too hot to touch. and ive been noticing what I think is the gears making a cracking sound im thinking the spur gear might of taken a beating??

[crawlinisfun]

yeah you have to be careful on the carpet the sticky tires and hi torque motors will snap things like twigs I've wrecked rims gears driveshafts and bunch of other stuff

[crawlinisfun]

has anyone done their own tube work for a chassis brazing/soldering, if so what have used for materials
