The wind was bad this morning
as it was blowing everything over
Already been outside to pick everything
back up even our storage bunker was
being blown across our path And that
bunker is full of stuff and quite heavy

Looks a great place for a play with rock crawlers :like:
I used to have a large pile of rubble in my back garden
That I made in to a great area to use for my crawler
But unfortunately I used all of it now for building materials  >:(
So now I have nowhere to use it to crawl over
I would love to have somewhere to use it but
haven’t found anything like what you were using

My son started building a little course in our backyard.  We're making plans to expand it, add rock piles, rope bridges, ect.  Now to just wait until springtime. :rofl:  We might actually do some more work now, but it gets dark too early to work on it after work, and the weekends are pretty busy with our daughters hockey.

That sounds cool  :like:
I had something like that in my back garden
Unfortunately the 1/8 scale RCs are very big
and need a lot of space to make a course for
Sometimes I wish I went for the 1/10 scale rock
crawler instead so I wouldn’t need so much space

You'd probably be able to find someone to trade with?

Probably  :tu:
But I am not sure if I want to get rid off my one
As I made my roll cage chassis myself out of
Aluminium rods and tig welded them together
And I used the figure from the Tamiya wild willy
And painted it I have spent a lot of time building
this rock crawler and spend quite a bit on all of the electrics

I made a prototype of new rear shock mounts. My jigsaw bit the dust, so I had to cut this out with my angle grinder, lol.

These are made from 7075 T6, so they'll be plenty strong. Now I just need to make a set for the front.

Thanks!  Yep, a little more movement, and a little less torque twist.  The spring rate is reduced now too, which makes flexing a little easier.
