Well I have been custom building a Short Course race truck. I got it running and tuned today.

Oh and its a RC Truck haha. I race Short Course RC Trucks. This aint no cheap walmart rc. its a high end race truck. I love the thing. Going to Races are fun as hell.

so the truck is a Traxxas Slash 4X4 Platinum Edition. I bought it as a roller and added my own aftermarket parts. with the lipo batterys and ESC(electronic Speed Control) and motor this thing should have a top speed around 40-50 MPH. not sure what the top speed is with the tuning I have been doing on it.

I still have to work with the camber and toe in to get it driving the way I want it. I dont have any pics of the ESC and motor installed yet but I will sometime.

the Platinum Edition was the high end edition that traxxas only made for a few months.

That thing is so fast it looks like you have a hard time controling it. I lol'ed at the end of the vid when it went flying thru the air.

[Pontiacgt201]

lol yeah its alittle hard to control at first but I started getting use to it as I ran it. the vids are the first things I did. and then I ran it after I made the vids.

[Mariachi]

[Pontiacgt201]

This thing is fun as hell to drive but Cleaning sucks. haha I just spent 6 hours compleatly tearing it apart and cleaning it. but well be worth it when I drive it tomorrow. haha

[Pontiacgt201]

thanks man. I cant wait to run it tomorrow.

so all together I have around $600-$700 in the truck.

I went to North Carolina last month and took my 4x4 with me. I had a blast running it. I didnt think to put my GPS on the truck till I killed the battery but on Long grass and rough terrain I was hitting 30 MPH. so I want to see what it does on a flat road with a fresh battery. but heres the pics and vids.
