Jims not building this one?


Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Jim really needs to build this for us... I forwarded the last build around the office and the guys liked it... I said to my co-worker, looks like Jim is building a crawler, my boss who isn't into RC eye's lit up, he needs a thread

There was a hillbilly pro wrestler looking guy at Wal mart I saw. Maybe I will, nothing is more scale then a driver.

I did a build for Rick already.

made a quick seat today from tire foams.


Pretty electric color, might need some grease stains to tone it down a bit later.

Goodman

Bent the chassis rails today out of 1/2 square tube stock. Used my benzomatic propane torch and bench vice. I just started bending the tube with the heat and a little force.


I then cut the tube down the middle with my bandsaw spliting it in two.


Ended up with two identical chassis rails.


Got a good start, I made the chassis rails too long as so I can cut them later.
