I jumped back into RC cars last Spring (built an RC10 in the early 80′s with my lunch money). Bought a Traxxas Summit. It is bullet proof and very fun to bash. Have a e-revo, e-revo 1/16, XO-1, Savage XS…..fun hobby.
I didn’t go brushless on the Summitt. The only thing I’ve done is bought some new tires. I tried Trenchers on the Summitt but they are too tall.. The stock tires are great but wear out quick.
Brian attempted to articulate the following, but failed:
We had some outdoor power ran last time.. but it’s just off some big extensions.. a little sketchy cuz they run through the parking lot and keep getting run over
SLot and Wing is one of the best known hobby shops in the midwest, partly because of its location in Champaign, partly because they have so much discount stuff from the big two, and partly because of just how the store is set up. You gotta see that place to believe it.

Guess I’ll update the link.. they keep changing the landing page.
Rick did you go nuts with the summit and go brushless?
I live in a NW burbs. I travel for work so I’m 50/50 on making it to the bash.
Hope to see ya there Rick!

No jumping in people’s heads please…
But I would like to see you attempt a tandem jump
You’re assuming they’ll stay together long enough to make it to the ramps!
LOL… we know how much love ya have for Redcat Jeff…
oooo good1 mr funny man!
You’d never hit his head, your truggies would get trapped in his Grissly Adams facial hair…
cool sand video Bill….. wish you were a bit closer though…
hard to drive and hold the cam. so I just set it on the tailgate.
Get a Go Pro head mount thingy. And stick it on your face.
Bill and I are gonna get some more footage hopefully soon!
I didn’t go brushless on the Summitt. The only thing I’ve done is bought some new tires. I tried Trenchers on the Summitt but they are too tall.. The stock tires are great but wear out quick.
I was going to say the paddle tires Wrench had on his truck looked so short!
need pro-line to make a low profile trencher
they do. I have them on my summit normally.
big trenchers http://prolineracing.com/trencher/
lp trenchers http://prolineracing.com/trencher-x/
Thanks for the ramp link. I missed that article. Need to build one.
We need to update with ‘Add lots of handles.. makes it easier to carry. It’s a bit bulky.
Brian- is there outdoor AC power, or is the AC power only indoors at the bash next weekend?
We had some outdoor power ran last time.. but it’s just off some big extensions.. a little sketchy cuz they run through the parking lot and keep getting run over
And you get in any trigger time lately Jeff, or ya been working too much?
Nope, none. My cousin fixed his trucks to try and entice me into fixing mine, so maybe soon.
you aren’t going to make the bash Jeff? WTF?
Does this link work?
http://www.bigsquidrc.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Pro-Line-50-Truck-11.jpg
It’s a upcoming pic from a ‘how to’ Manny is working on. If it works.. you guys can get a sneak peak..
Keep up the good work at Big Squid! Best!
Thanks for hanging out Rick! Hope to see ya next week!

ROFL!

They are supposed to be shipped a day or two before the bash.
Fingers crossed…
i need a BSRC HAT
Craig!
I’ll have one waiting for ya!
you run the 2.8 Trenchers Bill? The ones for the stampede on the summit?
it wouldn’t let me post a link. the trencher x is the lp version.
So have we set any gound rules for the Demo Derby??? Can I rig a flame thrower?
As long as you state you have a flamethrower.. and don’t burn any kids.. I think it’s allowed
Safety first!
Craig: Are you making the bash? Bringing your friend? Is that Sumo table portable? Or do Bill and I need to whip one together this weekend.
Bill??
SnW is having their bash the same day
F SnW… lol they don’t even invite us down
so you bashing there.. or up here?
I’m out. Later ya’ll
later Wrench!
Later Bill, see ya next weekend
I didnt know Snow White was into RC???
huh?
oh! LOL..
SnW is Slot and Wing hobby shop
:fasepalm:
I have no clue what SnW stands for and its te cleanest thing I could come up with…Dooh
SLot and Wing is one of the best known hobby shops in the midwest, partly because of its location in Champaign, partly because they have so much discount stuff from the big two, and partly because of just how the store is set up. You gotta see that place to believe it.
ok guys.. I need to get back to work!
Have a good evening.. thanks for stopping by!!
I’m out too guys, see ya guys on the 9th.
how did you guys get the animus parts? i can’t find them anywhere
We got them early from Firelands/Helion .. but I’m pretty sure our Hobby Town in Orland Park had many of them in stock last week.
They cant be that bad Brian they are giving you some BSRC love right on their main page
It’s a crazy cool store.. I was just giving Craig a hard time, trying to get him to come to the BSRC bash.
i will be a the bsrc bash
orland park’s hobbytown does not list the alloy upgrades on their site…. sadly, i can’t find them listed at any hobbytown usa site
Brian if you are still lurking I just hot dropped another one for you
What upgrades are you looking for Jimbo?
