Continued some work on my crawler/trail area around my little track.  Planted a few more juniper shrubs and moved some rocks around.

I'm becoming obsessed with working on it.   It feels good to be outside doing something after a long winter.

Joe,

Love the track! Can't wait to see what you do with it.

Sooooooooooo bough the last car Im going to buy this year............... Think Ive already said this before but I couldnt pass on this *******in sweet deal.

Not much.... but it's when the body comes off where things get interesting.

So what i can tell from the pics is it has a ultra rare HPI chassis, and HPI shock towers (yeah yeah Im sure someone in the UK will say "it's not that rare really"   it is)

It also comes with the box and manual and even bubble packaging.......

 

All for 79gbp shipped.

Where do the battery go? Looks like the receiver is where I would expect it to fit.

That is correct! The guy made some weird choices when putting in the electronics.... check out where the esc is hanging out.

So ... just finished this. Mixed up the paint scheme a bit and didn't use all the decals. Pretty happy with how it came out.

Looks awesome.    There's a Tamiya Golf Group 2 original on Ebay for $800 buy it now, I really had to hold myself back from purchasing it.

Pumped some more 80s into my HiLux surfboard for the BRAT project.

Looking forward to my next build - haven't decided - Willy or Frog.

Just bought an Avante 2001 with brushless combo, which is perfect since this will be my runner Avante 2001. The car will need some TLC to get the correct avante 2001 look.  Hope to get it in a couple of days.

Finally got the TD runnibg this morning. Love this buggy. Blatant photo op

I've been looking trust me!  All I can find on Ebay for scale stickers:  "Yeti"  "Get R Done"  "Miller"  Guns, Zombie Apocalypse, the things you see on the of lifted trucks.  I'd die for some 1/10 volcom, ripcurl, stickers.

i dig, i was shocked out big it was when i pulled it from the package - it's 11" long and in 1:1 it would be a 9 ft longboard.  I need to find a shortboard now.

If you have some stickers you know you want; scan them and send thrm to Nathan at MCI to scale. Will take a while but you'll get what you want.

Ordered a Slash 4x4.  Not totally sure why as I wanted an RC10T6.1 but I had a 15% off from Ebay so at least I got a good deal.

Loving this TS-22 color, man!  It just pops.

I've fitted newly arrived bearings to the front wheels of my newly built Monster Beetle.

Also fitted a 1mm thick shim on the inside of each front wheel to eliminate the wheel slop on the axles.

I'll shim my vintage Blackfoot in the same way when I get chance.
