Ok, I’ll play (no pun intended…lol)

Specs:
Aluminum shocks. 2.2 tires, Axial Rims and bead locks (weighted), Level3 RC lift kit, Level3 RC aluminum steering link. Aluminum C-hubs and Aluminum front knuckles. Aluminum steering linkage, Heavy duty (390g) servo, Front and rear 4 link suspension, Aluminum transmission mount, Dual Monster Claw 35t motors, Dual Motor ESC (320Amp). Working Winch and line. Full working LED’s (stop light, turn signal, Ext), 2 cell LiPo 5000 Mah battery, spider shade, rear cargo basket and some other things I am forgetting right now. Oh, I just upgraded the front light to 1 watt led each. Going to do the roll bar and fogs soon too.

It was a lot of work but it was worth it. Matched most of the decals too. This thing calms my off-roading itch for a bit.

Not a cheap hobby, once you start upgrading them... it can get out of control quick. But I have always been into RC'ing since I was kid, for me it's more of a relaxing hobby.

I have yet to jump on the scaler wagon, but I do have a few toys at home.

Mildly modded Axial Wraith





Heavily Modded Losi Micro Trail Trekker (my son's)






Heavily Modded Losi Mini Crawler RTR






And a shot of my playground....just a place I found in the subdivision that works really well.


And another place I found for my Wraith or other 2.2 crawler that I dubbed "The Minefield @ Fallkirk Rocks"
