If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.
A problem shared is a problem halved but an advantage shared is no advantage at all.

If he parks it outside overnight and finds it in the morning on some 1/10 scale cinder blocks with the wheels gone.... well, he might have someone for the suspect list. :wink:

Hard stuff to photograph but looks amazing in person.
This seems like it should have a build thread. With the lipo sized battery area and the modern (not giant dirt spikes) tires, does that mean this is going to be used as a racer?

Man, that's a tough one... Noony's rc10 is totally my style but that Andy's truck conversion speaks to me.

I think noony's RC10 would be a great candidate for a Ten4 conversion. If only he had one.... 🤔

I wish I had polished my rims like yours, mtbkym01. Funny to see we both use the same rims, screwed by different coloured nuts front and rear. What brand is your esc TP-M II? I´ve never seen this before. Is your SCR1700 NiCd pack in original condition and still okay or have you renewed the shrink tubing?
I really underestimated the charisma of bears and coyotes. My horizon was limited to dog(fighter)s.

Always feel a bit outclassed when I do a BOTM. Lots of good entries!
Consistency is the key I keep misplacing.

I'm not a big Losi guy, but I really really really liked your NRC-24 entered last November. I hope my build comes out close to that nice... when I get around to it someday. :lol:

The Pro SE is a very nice build though and sounds like a great runner too!

Thanks man!

The NRC stuff is fun to build and drive, just don't drop any of the hardware, it's hard to find it after :lol:

I need to make a build page for the Pro SE, I kinda just focused on getting it together and didn't take a ton of pics of the process. Runs really well though, I'll have to try to video it next time I'm at the track.

My rims came from my MX4 that is awaiting its body for completion, All I did was scrub them with some Simple Green. The tyres are brand new Trinity branded ones that I found in a tyre lot I got years ago. The 1700SCR is completely original and in mint condition. The ESC Doesn’t show any other branding than TP-M. It came with the car, so I dont know any more about it, but its in great condition so I re-installed it
You name it - and I want it ;)

Alot of nice cars...as predicted the Coyote is starting to pull way ahead...Frankentrucks build is really custom too if u look at the build thread...it might gather some late steam...Kid Agains truck is really cool...you think the Big Bear is too much of a babies toy for the viewers?
