    Went down with the tractor and drug a lot of the excess sand off. Still enough to give a little slip, a few spots I only found more sand, and found a little clay in some others. Should get some rain this weekend, gonna see what it looks like afterwards.

    That's 2S with a 3500Kv motor. Training mode limits to 50% throttle.

    Gonna try it on 3S one of these days, don't want to get accused of buying it for me though so I haven't tried it yet.

    Let Kaylea try the Rustler with a 3S 3200mah 25C.

    It's pretty spunky in training mode. Took it out of training mode and it's pretty hard to control. I imagine a higher C rating or capacity LiPo would just be too much for the space we have in the yard.


    As it is, a good 2S battery seems to be the right balance for good power, speed, and the area.

    Looks like I'll be passing a hobbytown tomorrow.


    It's like a disease, looking for a reason to "need" something else. Should just stick to an extra battery and maybe some better springs, maybe a set of sand paws, few spare parts, maybe a boat, another plane would be nice, and a micro fpv drone, don't have a street car, maybe nose around and see if I come across any other necessities...

    That sucks.

    Gonna hit the one in Abilene. If it's posted I'll got to the Gun/photography/RC shop I found in Odessa and hopefully they will be more friendly.

    Managed to get out of hobbytown with only an extra 2S battery I promised I'd pick up for my daughter.

    Small store, but not bad.

    Just checked out the hobby shop in Odessa. If I had the money I may have walked out with an X Maxx.

    Pretty good RC stock for a camera store. Tempted to get another Rustler. Just don't need another transmitter.

    They had a few Redcats and Losis on stock, but Lodi is high and I've read some unfavorable opinions on Redcat.

    Had a Savage XT nitro that didn't look bad, and Revos both brushless and Nitro.


    Willpower is gonna be strained this week.

    you can always pitch the Tx on ebay.

    I personally like a Tx for every Rx, just in case I want to drive both with my hands and feet

    exactly

    brushed off the RC's for the first time in a couple months. Ran my Revo for 2 minutes and it would barely move. Don't have the patience to tune it right now after porting and switching to 30%

    Got the TBR bumpers and wheelie bar on the Tacon and it's almost controllable. Did a couple cool flips off the big ramp.

    Kids ran their ECXs for about 2 minutes. Dicks.
