The building/running thread was best of the year imo.

It got my vote, and not because your my brother. Its because when you watch it run and hear it, your thinking, "what the fxck just happened!" And your heart is beating hard for 20 more minutes.

Waiting to see if the cops show up is the funnest part.

I can think of more fun aspects of running RC stuff.

Kedal's paint schemes are my favourites. This month's entry is no exception. The $30 per run thread is priceless exciting entertainment. Good to know that you get 20 minutes enjoyment for this value, not only 1,xx seconds. I feel it's comparable to Scotch drinking :lol: But have I mentioned yet that...

We had about .5 inches of ice and snow last Sunday. Put about 60K people without power. Ours just came back yesterday. Just snow today. At least it's pretty to look at out the kitchen window.

It's unfortunately bad for many in the northern part of LA where as the majority of the rest of the city is kinda in the clear for now. I'm about 7 miles from the nearest fire to me. Not gonna lie it was/still is scary as sh*t! Here was my view wednesday at 7am in the morning as I was on my way out ...

I am much further away in Orange County and work even further away in Riverside County. This was a shot I took from our carpool, as I sat in the backseat, out the front window of the car as we entered Orange County today. I cropped out the traffic, LOL.

As one who has played with rocket cars I can attest to the thumping chest and the wondering if the cops are gonna turn up comment


..... or if the car was going to smash through the window of Mrs. Jones new Mustang etc....

It's cool to see the differences between the Ten4.1 and B44, and the 834 and '91 Works. Different generations of 4WD design for Associated and Yokomo based buggies all gathered together. This is a serious collection of apples vs oranges entries this month.

My God I was torn, but I voted for cheaper eggs. Nah I owed somebody a vote do to a minor mistake.

I got a pair of vintage front shocks from a Kyosho Raider because I needed the upper spring retainers for my current OG Ultima build.

Italian Sausage for game night.
