took the maxx out for fun in the snow. spinning around it came flying down my driveway with brakes locked up sliding right into the garage door. popped the ball joint out of the knuckle again
 
yes i do lol. i also found out the new tires suck on wet pavement. but are actually decent in the snowy grass
 


all r/c cars suck on wet pavement regardless of what tire. Scale it to a 1:1 that little r/c has like "1000hp"
 
My new body came 94-01 ram style. Gonna try and paint it like what my old truck used to look like green/silver

I think your better off with a 1/18 scale

Iv had my twin detonator for I dunno. 5-7 years, know how many times I broke it? 0
 
It was basically the bulkheads that snapped. $21 in parts. What happened is it was going across the parking lot and i lost sight of it so i let off and then i heard a bang and saw this
