I went to a new, local RC dirt oval to watch the racing. My local off-road track closed down a couple of years ago and I've been missing the competition ever since. Oval doesn't look as fun as off road because there are no jumps, but it still looked like a lot of fun so I decided to give it a shot. Instead of using my Associated SC10 to jump into the open modified class I decided to buy a Slash and start out in the stock class. I can't pass up an opportunity to buy a new RC! :lmao: Plus, I have never owned a Slash.
I wanted the black chassis and I love the Raptor body so that's what I chose. Plus, I've been wanting to get a second battery for my nephew since I bought him a Slash for his birthday last year. This truck is so well done by Traxxas. The body and bumper are awesome and Traxxas is stepping up the scale realism. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep the body or sell it.
A brand new, wrapped box. Exciting! :mrgreen:

As a Chevy fan, even I can say this is a good looking truck! It's a shame it will never get driven in this state.



It cracks me up how many tags Traxxas puts on their vehicles. But that's also a sign of them being such a great company. They lay everything out for newbies.

Here she sits. The base to my Mudboss dirt oval track race car.

Now I wait for the body. I am having the graphics custom designed. After that he will print the wrap and install it on the body before shipping it.
I'm also going to install a few durability upgrades that are within this track's rules.
