Default RC Truck/Car Fans?

Any other RC owners here? What do you own?

I currently own an Associated brand Nitro Monster GT8, or MGT8,



And a fav of mine, and a Losi 1/18 Mini Rock-Crawler that I have completely rebuilt & customized. It is 1/3Losi, 1/3 RCBros, and 1/3 me. Not having a full machine shop, I am limited to what I can make for myself. Heres what I have done so far...

• RCBros Skulz V2 chassis
• Hand made stainless custom bent uppers & lower "Arch" 4 link set up
• RCBros aluminum lockers
• RCBros threaded shocks
• RCBros rear 4 link electronics/battery mount
• RCBros front 4 link full size servo mount
• Hitec HS-645MG full size servo
• Losi aluminum center skid
• Losi Mini Rock Blue Bashers
• Functioning bead locks
• 7oz of additional wheel weight up front
• 3oz of additional weight in the rear
• Relocated electronics
• Relocated custom body mounts
• Lipo energy pack
• More to come

Looks cool, eventually I'd like to start plugging away at some little R/C's like this... maybe after school when I actually have time lol.

I got this as my first crawler cause I wanted to see if I really liked it since I had only had electric cars and nitro trucks. The Losi was a RTR, or "ready to run". Even out of the box it has incredible flex and preforms well. I tried it out and then started tearing it down, not cause it really needed it, just cause I wanted to. Then I bought or made the stuff I needed to modify it to my liking. Now it will climb damn near anything. It will walk up a straight wall till it flips itself over without even trying. If you have a hobby shop nearby, go try one out, they are pretty affordable as far as the RC world gores. They are awesome! I also like that it fits in a small field bag so I can take it with me where ever. Its geat on the snow piles too!
