Theibault

Part 2

Always good to see folks coming back to the hobby. Welcome back bud!

Had extra footage left so I made a LONG Avante slow motion video.

A little rally racing with a friend.

Here's part one to my Comical Grasshopper build.

Trophy Truck Tuesday anyone?

OMG, this book is awesome! Can't read it, but its OK as it's all pictures.

I ordered mine from Ebay. Should be here tomorrow hopefully. https://www.ebay.com/itm/PRE-Tamiya-Vintage-RC-Car-Museum-1976-1992-History-Art-Book-R-C-Radio-Controlled/123416773172?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3Dcf333b7dfe484cb99ebc5ec1cd4bd18c%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D8%26mehot%3Dlo%26sd%3D382659684934%26itm%3D123416773172&_trksid=p2481888.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3A6e1fbb3e-0216-11e9-b582-74dbd180ea7d|parentrq%3Abcefe3131670a86019e90fd0fffddaa2|iid%3A1

Well, living in Colorado, I have seen all manner of animals from mountain lions to bears. And these have been in the back yard of my old house. I have never run across animals other than squirrels and chipmunks on the trails I run. I have been attacked a few time (my quad, not me personally lol) by birds of prey while flying my FPV quadcopter. I highly doubt that the animals would be anything other than curious and mostly keep away from the noise an RC makes. PS, RC cars are toys. They serve no other purpose.

For those that like to film their RCs, this is a great tool.

I preordered this too.

Made sure my tank was still working.

Hadn't played with my tank in years. Took it out for a shakedown run to be sure everything still works.

I always use the score and snap method for my bodies. I snapped the long sides first, cut the middle and snapped the short sides. Was pretty simple and effective. You can alternately use a drill to drill out the short sides and scissors for the long sides.

Had a blast running the Avante!

Just getting this old buggy ready for a video shoot. Check the YouTubed! thread in a few hours.

This is the age old axiom for the RC hobby. I don't think so. There will always be a certain type of person who's drawn to RC and those numbers tend to stay the same as generations pass. What's shifting is what's popular. Traxxas, Arrma, Axial, and a bunch of other companies are doing fine. There will always be fluctuations in the participants in the hobby, but it'll always be around.

The slow motion madness continues! I just love watching the suspension work.

I love the stock Blackfoot. No suspension whatsoever lol, but what fun to drive.

The good ones have halos and the bad ones have horns. I think it comes down to personal preference unless you are competing, then some of what has been said above applies.

Bought his car just for the gorgeous body. Good runner too.

Kept going back and forth on this one, but I figured I might as well get it. You never know when they just disappear lol.

For that kind of money, just buy the Avante and Avante BS or Egress.

Non Tamiya, but too good not to share!
