The_buster Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Last year I jumped into the RC world by purchasing a Traxxas Summit 1/10th scale truck and a Redcat GroundPounder monster truck. Then during the summer I created a mini crawling course in the backyard for future trucks. Since then I have acquired a MST drift car and a SCX10 Honcho truck, traded the Summit for the Honcho. I loved the Summit and hope to get another in the future when we have more land to run it on. Here are some pictures of the course and vehicles. Anyone else here mess with this hobby? First the course I built First climbing spot Then across the platform and down the rocks The pass-through under the platform Across the log Currently working on a "dry riverbed" to go through Second climbing zone Narrow pass-for the 1:10th scales This is where it stayed at the end of the summer, the other day I mad an area with two jumps and donut spot for the monster truck Now on to the vehicles The Summit- way too big for a small yard The monster truck The drifter The SCX10 Crawler Future vehicles are the 1:35th scale Orlando F150 and Wrangler scale crawler kits.

ericsarge Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 I have several. Got my buddy into a few years ago, now he builds all his own chassis and beef tubes, links, etc. He has a pretty wicked crawl course in his backyard. It is a blast and has a tendency to get out of hand quickly. I started with a wraith, then honcho, then the scout version, then twin hammers, then customs....blah blah blah haha Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky31186 Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 I had an Xmaxx for awhile. It was stupid fast and absolutely huge. But sold it for other toys. Looking to pick up a summit soon. Much cheaper http://i801.photobucket.com/albums/yy296/rocky31186/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20160811_211327_zpsgpuucucm.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geeto67 Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 When I was a teenager I used to be heavily into all things R/C. Cars, planes, trucks, you name it. I still dabble a little but haven't bought a car in years, and the only one I use regularly is my clodbuster, which I must have spent near a grand in in 1990's money. What's interesting to me in your pictures is how much my clodbuster looks like your groundpounder. It's basically the same design as a highly modified clod. Surprised at how little things change with this stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_buster Posted March 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 First time that I saw any hobby grade rc's were at monster jam in columbus. A guy had a clod that he called bigfoot. Then there were the nitros running on the course during intermission. My parents looked into them but were skeptical of the high cost. The wife bought the two kids and I New Bright Grave Digger trucks. But the wont move in hard packed dirt. So last tax season I jumped into the hobby with the bigger is better attitude. While nice and fun I have no room and the big truck just sat on the shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You though the best investment if my tax money (Im sorry but if you are getting an "earned income tax credit" you didn't earn that god damn money) is to buy a fucking RC car? This is whats wrong with America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_buster Posted March 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 Nice. I took over part of our laundry room and made a "shop". It already had a pegboard section on the wall, works perfectly to hold shells and tires while working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
