Today it was 50 degrees, and most of my snow has melted. I decided to take the Hawk 2 for it's first run in my yard, I never ran it in the snow.
I installed the old Trinity Green Machine that came with it, put some worn old Dirt Hawgs on the rear (since I did significant on-road driving and wanted to spare the Calibers), and went to town.
Originally, I'd planned for this to mostly be a track truck. However, it's been on the track twice, and it's handling still needs work. It's getting there, but it still needs more tuning. I realized, though, that it's really more of a basher than anything else.
I was pretty easy on it, but it was fun. I drove for about 30 minutes on the 3300mah lipo before I decided to come in. The motor wasn't even warm and the battery had a good charge left.
