Take a break, play a little, and let’s fuel our inner child!

4Runner Cruising with the Cruisers: 406 Cruiser Vintage Days
My friend invites me to tag along with some of the older trucks in our club. It was a good time out, saw some great scenery, and give a trail report on the White Tail Reservoir.

Tuning the Slash
Whoops! I did manage to get the truck tuned, and then WHAMMMO! More details coming on that next week, but this week I talk about tuning the nitro engine,

Slash: She’s a Rippin’…. Not just playing Air Guitar
We got the Slash Running! I am doing the break-in and some of the tune. I produced a video, yeah…. made it on my mac…. and you can see that the Slash actually runs!

Update on Slash… Nitro, not the Guitarist… although I hope he is well
I get my new motor from Traxxas. I summarize some of the challenges in getting the motor into the chassis, and walk through some solutions.

My Love for Tamiya
Are you looking for something to do in the winter? Well, this is how we pass the time. I do find the RC hobby rewarding even though I am more of a basher rather than a serious racer.

Slash Nitro: Tuition Paid to School Hard Knocks

Nitro Slash: Hopefully a Winner
So, what can turn an electric guy to branch out into nitro? I am not sure that I am sold at this point, but the truck does look pretty awesome!

Dark Impact DF-03: Bad Habit or Sentimental Sap?
I might just be a sap, but for some reason I cannot discard this buggy. It has been a part of my life and I have too much sentimentality to toss it.

Welcome to My Adventures
There is no telling where this blog is going to take you. I would love to have you join the ride!

Why the Radio Controlled Cars
I confess…. I am addicted to cars. I enjoy cycling, but I love cars. I am not in a place to be Jay Leno to have my own museum so I settle for the scale models. I encourage you to try it.
