I've been saying it all along, it looks like 4wd is going to be a whole lot more competitive this time around.... :mrgreen:

Will the oval still be there for the Vintage Off-Road Nationals? I'm thinking about pulling out one of my Dominators for a vintage oval race.

I am still waiting on a couple last parts for my 4wd and 2wd entries, but here's my Classics entry, a Tamiya Grasshopper with a vintage Parma Stinger body. Original spring shocks all around. :lol:

It's looking like my LXT might actually make it to the big race finally! Still plenty of little stuff to do to it, but I drove it across my living room and kitchen tonight. What a relief, it was really coming down to the wire again.

Hey, I'm the only one posting my blurry pics in here. :roll:
My Rad2 is 95% there. I need to install my personal and find some rear buggy tires. The ones on it were just to check the shock droop. Will the shop be stocked with Double Dees?
I had to hack a Bandit body to fit it, but it will do. :D

:roll: I can only take responsibility for the metallic green- it's a Prographix body. You probably knew that and I am too tired to read the sarcasm. :lol:
It is strange to see white Traxxas parts though- I was out of the hobby by the time these started coming around. It does run nice and I'm looking forward to this weekend.

I just need to find time to sleep. :wink:
