Some of Dale's goings on - projects update
Quick and dirty updates.
Finally got my 5B and 5T cleaned up. They literally had mud caked on them for a half year after a Phatdad event before I finally got them totally cleaned up.
Picked up an SC8e RTR. This was kind of a basher choice so I have something to run around with the kids, but I am REALLY hopeful that with the release of the HPI Apache and maybe a few others that 1/8 Short Course will pick up at my local racetrack.
My short course 4x4 TEN SCTE. I just picked this up to start racing with at SDRC. This is a hot class there. I picked up a Proline body and painted it. Not sure where I was going with the paint job, but it turned out ok I guess.
I couldn't pass this up. A complete RTR Losi XXL like new for $300 with the Spektrum radio and everything.

Ya, a lot of my old collection is gone. The XXL is still nitro; it is actually my only nitro left.

This is my last toy for a while. Hyper 9e with some 2.0 upgrades, some carbon fiber, Tekin 2050kv motor and Mamba Monster.

Actually, I still have my pimped out Hyper 7 too. I am actually going to race this soon, even after all these years.

RE: Some of Dale's goings on - projects update
Thanks. I have trimmed the collection quite a bit. I have 3 bashers for me and my boys (Emaxx, ESavage and RC8E), 3 racers (SCTE, Hyper 9e, Hyper 7), my two fifth scales and a Nitro MT (XXL) for nostalgic purposes.
I dumped all of my 1/14 scale and smaller and my crawlers. Besides carpet racing, I never found a good all around use for anything less than 1/10 and I tried the crawling scene but it kind of fell off for me.

Nice rigs Dale. Ill have to say though, nitro is still how i go fast. My jato is at least 15mph faster than anything else i own, including all 3 of my brushless rigs. Its a lot more fun to drive too.
