Not that it's that bad, but it verifies any time that I change data connection. Wifi at home, different data boosters at work.

It's ancient. The brushes are probably shot and the comm has probably seen better days. And it was far from high-end to begin with. But with a restoration it's nice to have work, ya know? If you have a comm lathe, you can carefully knock the motor apart and rebuild it. I've saved a couple of them.

I took this picture because you just can't make this stuff up.

I'm still trying to figure out WTF is up with the nose plate.

And I wish that someone would make a reproduction buggy nose plate.

After being without a dog for nearly two years (accident), we brought this one home yesterday.

That's a good looking truck! What is the color?

Metallic burgundy, backed in metallic gunmetal. I think both were Duratrax colors.

Put some more AmPro parts on the Brat. Added the shock mount / body mount braces. I also switched the rear tires for some Trenchers.
