I would have liked to go. First one I missed since 2007. I already had plans that w/e for family stuff, and honestly, I haven't been able to drive RCs all summer. I have a 4 yo, a 1yo and they take all my time and money, plus my wife and I have been very busy with our jobs as well. Its been hard just to keep the house in order, let alone get any playtime.
I'm not even sure if my lipos are still any good. lol
FWIW, I had wanted to get something done
before the bash. My new goal is to have it done before the next one. :)

Thanks bro. That truck looks great, but I can imagine it turns like a tractor tho. I know my XL was hard to get used to even after driving truggies, muggies and revos and such.
Here's a crappy vid of the 4WS in action. Wanted to get around to do another one, but really haven't got to drive it much. I sold the MGM off in the spring. It was a bit limited in that big truck too with temps. I think I had old 10C TrueRc lipos in it too. It had some decent power, but nowhere near what the 1521 could put out.
I'd like to go to 2x5S 3300 packs or so when I get it done, with a max speed of ~45mph and loads of TQ. More of a groundpounder than a speed demon.
