    Until you get an alignment, plan on last place :p
    lol just a basher. Though all my RCs typically have that toe-in/toe-out setup.

    The only one I've ever adjusted was my Revo, less extreme, just went by specs on the interwebz

    super random, I had 4 gallons of Shell Rotella T-6 diesel oil, the fuel filter set and oil filters for a 6.0 powerstroke, and an unopened bottle of Archoil 9100 on Facebook Marketplace for a few weeks.
    Some guy messaged me and said he'd like to take them all, and had an RC car for trade...

    Sooooooo.... I ended up with this

    Got my son’s little Tacon Valor fixed up

    New body painted, he picked the body, colors... and faces
    Added the factory buddy wing mount, and instead of hacking the body up to clear it, I missed the mount with body posts and hold the wing on with body clips.

    Also had to replace the rear shock tower, was slightly bent and unfortunately didn’t notice until after I reamed the body

    Also smoked my slipper in the Slasher Basher.

    Snapped a front CVD so upgraded to MIP front and rear. Either the added weight, or my sloppy gobs of threadlocker added too much resistance and literally smoked the slipper clutch.

    Picked up a steel Robinson Racing spur and clutch.. maybe install this weekend

    Finally got this one revived back in April. An old Savage 25 with 3 speed. Since then I have burned out 3 spurs, a motor mount, steering servo and steering horn. Love to do backflips at speed off of oak trees. Or the random curb flip.

    Ignore the unpainted body. I finally put it on last month after finding some old decals so the head would have some protection. Not an easy job to trim out bodies with just an old exacto knife.

    I had a Traxxas Stampede 2WD 10 years ago. You win.
    I also had stampede about that long ago. Then had a Slash. Gifted them away about 5 years ago. I saw an Xmaxx for the first time about 2 years ago and was blown away by it. The price turned me off though. I just happened to be watching YouTube about a month ago and saw an Xmaxx video. Then another and another. I've been debating back and forth about which truck to get and decided what hell get the one you really want. I have to say it is quite the compensator! :laughing:
