RC Bashers

Hey all!
I'm in full rc-ing swing, now that our nice weather has hit us head on! Soooo much more time outside than in the winter!



I had the Taco and the Ford out yesterday for some beachin'. Was a great time. I really like the venom diffs on this Taco.. with the BL system and the unlocked diffs it runs around like a slow 4x4 slash! what a blast! hahah! The Ford has a set of full locked Axial diffs in it, and works great also, but not as fun as the faster and open diff Taco.

Put the trucks on the rocks and did some great climbs with those also. Got a little vid of the ford I'll post up in a minute, but here's a ditching pic of the thing.

I also got the RB3 out for a rip with a 2cell in there. I've been doing a ton of experiments on this truck and have so much fun just bashing on it. Actually flipped it upside down in the river for 10 seconds, but it survived



It looks like this usually, but for some reason the MMpro wouldn't arm itself with the 4s on it.. no idea why.. still working on that one.

Those are awesome! Can we get some specs also? Saw the kool build pics you had on facebook, nice work. RB3? Looks like a savage....

Wow nice stuff. Remember you telling me about the $23 lipos, check the general area you can see I got my replacements here now the 5200mah hardcases.
You know this was coming need to see some build threads on those rigs
Check out your crosscanyon kit if I get a ax10....

I really like the use of SCT tires on the scalers. As soon as I saw the tires on the 4wd slash, I knew they'd look awesome on a scaler, same for the maxxis off the blitz.

Nice work on the rigs. Also liking the SC rims and tire setups. Thanks for the pics,vids and info. l8r,w.
