I'm turning up, but I don't think I can beat you... Racing has been really good this summer, turnout has been very low though :-/

First race I wondered why I had lost throttle response towards the end, turns out that my axles were half inch thick and solid grass...

The Traxxas ran better than the Losi towards the end too! A whole two laps faster than the Losi on its last outing! It never ceases to amaze me how a plastic hunk of junk I bought back in 1997 can do so well when it rains... then again I've lost count of what I've changed and/or adapted from other models.

Anyway, great racing Martin is running way from us noobs I struggle to just come second to him now.

Turning it into a Rustler!!!!

Simple but pricey conversion, the chassis is largely the same, but it needs the following:

Arms
Wheels
Front axles
Camber links
Driveshafts
Castor blocks
Body mounts
Shock shafts (they are a diff length)
A cool truck body, ideally a Chevy

Expensive in the end really. It will happen eventually, maybe for the Christmas sleigh.
