New toys--lots of pictures

[The_buster]

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.

Cool. This really makes me think the buster has been a troll lol

Nope. just getting wiser in my old age....

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

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

Nah. High school band and the horrible glasses I used to wear took care of that.

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.

[The_buster]

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.

The Mt. Dew tat was the cure. Amirite?

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.

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.

Anyone race at CRCRC?

JP, I'm confused. Are you saying that if someone received a tax refund, they didn't earn it?

 

I am genuinely curious, as I just don't think I understand.

Pay out $2,000 in tax. Fuck your fat pig of a wife. Receive $8,000 refund. Profit.

I'm hoping thats just a generalized thought... not directed at anyone.
