Is your yard landscaped? Could build around the landscape

Backyard is not landscaped. No point. Had two big dogs until July when my boxer passed. My lab went missing for a week and was returned to us Sunday. She taught my boxer how to dig. So in a sense, I suppose they helped with track building. But I have lots of work to do in the back yard.

okay, so you have seen my scaler RCs.

Can't say these are scale at all but they are tons of fun!

This has xr-10 axles...and that is about it. The rest is parts from all over the place. This is a torsion chassis so only the front has shocks. The rear flexes due to the material (delrin) the chassis is made of.






That is just one more of my many many RC crawlers. I am interested to see where this thread goes and will keep updating also!

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.
