Any dirt is good. I got my 4x4sc out on an 8th/5th scale track tonight. It was so fun. My first outdoor off-road driving since september.
DSX-1 is for the nitro firestorm, the shock tower locations are in different positions.
What is your shipping time to a base in afghanistan?

The selections for the durango DEST210 and losi 22t isn't any better. All the bodies that are available are race oriented, too, not a lot of diversity.

Tons, and rain for most of the past few nights. I am half way through a break in as well which is frustrating.
So how mobile are you? Enough to RC well?

Thats the new model and a new video. ITs the brushless waterproof version with modern graphics.
Was the white van I saw a mini van too? I assume you are replacing it.
Off to the barnyard for a race tomorrow - you should consider coming out there for a race or series, its not much further than I am driving to be there.

Well I my new pinions in and now I have to wait for my new spur gears to come in. The loctite didn't hold my screw in my pinion gear so it slipped and grinded down some of my spur gear.

Yeah I used the blue stuff. I even let it set over night before I ran it. Not sure why it did that, but oh well. Stuff happens just gotta fix it.

Red - good to see you back.
Anyone have a wheelie bar on their storm? Looking to get one as it just has too much power on lipo with the MMP esc.

Hey guys. The 8th scale electronics experiment is over, put the castle 4600 back in it. The other motor was too heavy and honestly, too fast to enjoy.

Platinum RC Products???
After reading this site, noticed many of you guys have upgraded to some of the carbon fiber parts for the storm. Have any of you had issues receiving your parts? Ordered two of their kits, all seemed well at time of order, but never received the kit. Received a reply to my first email stating the kit was out of stock and it would be a few weeks before I would get it, that was mid April. Tried emailing several times for an update, but suddenly communication stopped. Wondering if anyone else has had problems with this company? Guess I am out 70$, kind of lost faith I would get anything in the mail. Especially now that I can't get a response from PRC. Oh well, lesson learned. I am always on the fence about a company when the only contact info listed is an email address.
