Whacked a curb at near full throttle. Snapped the front pinion and a link. $14 for replacement parts. This I can afford to build into a crawler haha.

reminds me of my last deployment where a buddy had his wife ship out his big RC car... then we all got drunk, made a ramp, and jumped it through a flaming hula hoop into a pool.

can't remember if i still have any of those pictures, but it was a fun night!

Hope everyone had a good holiday and stuff.

I made a little progress on my rat habitat. Atomic shock relocation burned in and axle mocked up with the RuffStuff swap kit.

Also ***** deep in building a new car port and possibly buying a new house right down the street. Maybe if we get that 2k stimulus I can afford it all

haha... that was on Alpha Ln much farther east.
but speaking of that other dustier place: as of 2.5yrs ago on a quick trip out there, they done tore down most of the trailers on that side & closed the Manhattan. 'twas starting to feel like a ghost town.

Thanks, I used super beefy stuff 2x12x24' boxed trusses and 2x8x20' purlins all #1 DSS so I could span 24' long and 16' wide with no polls to ding your door on. You can pretty much open both doors and drive straight through, really excited for concrete I'm sick of parking in dirt. Almost got stuck the other morning again

No more trailer park!? That's disappointing. Without all those trailers filled with horny ramp rats beating off Al Queda must be winning

Good looking work @dantheman1540 .

I have really been wanting to start doing some welding myself on some small stuff. What would you get for a decent priced beginner welder?
