Its all about the location...
 

Went bashing Saturday with my wife and in law's. We went to my parents place where there is a wooded area. Its beautiful down there this time of year and I the grass is short enough that its pretty nice to run there. I went down to a washout that was pretty dry and had a nice steep dirt hill coming out of both sides of it. I was running my stock 3906 e-maxx (nothing but an upgraded driveline) on lipo's and having a blast trying to climb up out of that gully on both sides. My father in law was running his 3905 e-maxx too. It was a perfect place to run and I had a good time. I ran there about 15 minutes, and the rest of the time i was playing around crawling over logs, climbing some other hills and just running on whatever i could find. Ran for about 40 minutes on a single set of 4000mah lipo's since i wasnt on the throttle hard a whole lot. My whole point to this is that almost any r/c can be a lot of fun in the right area. If i just take this e-maxx outside and run up and down the street, its pretty boring. If i go down to the woods, i can run it all day and not get bored. The same with something like a brushed stadum truck that does 25mph or so. Its boring in the grass, but put it on a technical track with some jumps and its three times as fun.

Anyways, here are some pictures my wife took[8D] The silver truck is mine, and the blue one is my father in laws.

Looks great, nice place to bash.

Nice place. Also awesome that the entire family was participating.

Very cool. Was the red truck your wife's??

Nice, nice. Yeah, I'll second that sentiment, if you've got a venue that suits your car you can spend hours out there. My pit bottle will only last me about 60-70 minutes, but I can burn the whole thing up powersliding around in my driveway and making speed runs up and down the road out front.

Thanks guys!

Tommygun- Yes that is my wifes stampede. Her mom's stampede is the blue one in the background. They wanted to take some fall pictures, so i figured it'd be a good chance to run too :D

That's awesome, your wife AND your inlaws into RC?

It just really doesn't get better than that.

Yep, i never would have dreamed it myself. haha

I was into it for a while and then all of a sudden my father in law (not at the time) took an interest in it. He bought a blitz, then sold that and moved on to an e-maxx and now has about 7 vehicles, one of them being my mother in law's stampede. My wife has a stampede she runs most of the time when we go out as well. Its much more fun than bashing by myself, which is what i used to do. [8D]
