Thats cool I'm going to have to sneak one by the wife. ;D

sorry for a late reply but yeah man this stuff is pretty fun. My losi was $240 or something new but you can find them used about $150. They are smaller (1/18th scale) but big enough to wheel outside on rocks and inside on the couch. All i have done is moved some of the electronics and battery around for a lower COG and balance.

Nice. What Servo is that? I had to ditch the cheap Losi servo with plastic gears (I broke them) and picked up a Hitec 225mg today. Much better, still small enough to use the stock mount but has metal gears so now its time to break the next weak link....

Already was looking at some of the axial's at the hobby shop... a 1/10 might be in the future

I had some Orange paint that I would have given you. Looks cool Larry. Hey PM me with your travel plans, I'm going to meet you for Ryan's junk.

I have done a little more work on the Losi moving things around lowering the COG and got a nice little rock pile in the backyard to play around on. Anyone who is interested in this who wants a "scale" looking rig should check this thing out. All you need to do is go buy a battery and charger. Most places have it around $299
