Haha that's sweet.

Got em finished.

[Slick2500]

Started on the rebuild at 7:00 last night.


At 2:30 this was the result. Still have a few things to do and replace, as I found a few more parts that need to be replaced during the rebuild. :/

I need to order.

• Some steel hollow balls, as the plastic ones suck.
• Aluminum turnbuckles and tie rods again the stock plastic ones suck.
• New rear bulkhead the screw holes for mounting the rear shock tower and rear bumper are completely stripped out, I tried to repair them with some ca glue but it didn't work right.
• Random screws to replace ones that got lost or were missing.
• New front bumper as I lost mine today, was about 15 min into my bash session before I realized it was gone

Also bought some new tires for the Mini Ruckus. ~$10 shipped from China. This thing is pretty quick with the new brushless setup on a 1800mah 25c 3S lipo, haven't clocked it yet but I am guessing about 30-35 mph. I only have one pack through the tires since I put them on and they grip the road a lot better than the stock tires. The rims are kind of crappy, I wasn't expecting much for $10, the chrome is starting to peel off the rim where I glued one of the tires, so I glued it back down and we'll see how it goes.

[Slick2500]

The bottom part of the car was supposed to be this color.

[ItHurtz]

So that "orange skull flamage" is a fck up? I like it!

[Slick2500]

Yeah don't get me wrong it looks cool, but totally not on purpose.

[CrazyGuy03]

I bought a drone for some reason, I can't fly it by my house as it is in restricted airspace. I would have to drive 10 miles east or west just to be able to fly it.

[CrazyGuy03]

Yah. I want the lily drone
and I might get 2-3 of the miss vegas deuce boats this weekend.

I decided I want to build a lunchbox and paint it like this.

[Slick2500]

Took it out for a snow bash today, one of the snow chains flew off and landed someplace, another one came off and lodged itself into the body, I cracked my body in 2 places and half the rear wing broke off.

With those long travel rockers it has a really high center of gravity.
