No worries.. "thinking back" It was one of the moments when you wish you had the Video running (for sure!)..

MGM should have it replaced and back in my hands in about 4-5 weeks. Probably before the 2nd batch of MMM are released.. (sorry, lets not go their)..


Nothing!.. Hahahahaaa..

That really sucks! All that waiting for me to finish the mounts and then this . I sure hope you can get an ESC or two before the bash!

The RC Gods have a strange sense of humor at times. At least that's what I convinced myself after they fried two of my esc in a matter a week. I'm sure I heard laughing when I found the second one smoking. It's good to have the old noble steed there when you need it. The evo is the one it seems I can always fall back on when the rest are breaking down one after the other.

One more + to toss one back Shaun. The ESC didn't go up in smoke in the house. Takes weeks to get that burnt electrical smell out. Bottoms up!

P.S.
Yes I know I've spent way to much money on it!

She knows nothing..( a few hundred more or less). If she ever knew how much I’ve got in my builds it would jump start her menopause..


Nothing!.. Hahahahaaa..

GEVO UPDATE!

So I Just got back from camping and have some hard core bashing video to show for it!. I took my Gevo Rock & Tree climbing and beat the beans out of it at the lake over several days, the video is a little long but most of the cool crashes come at the end of the video (sorry)..

Rock Climbing vid: “Nothing too spectacular”

Beating the beans out of it at the lake: Cool Crashes!...

Thanks for your time and have a great one..

Shaun.

Nice video. One piece of advice - if you are going to continue to drive like me, you'd better put a lid on that thing or you are going to break something $$$.

Well it looks like you had some fun delivering that beating. Nice to see your rig running so well. I hope to be doing soimething similar very soon. We are now moved into our home in Korea, but still waiting on all of our stuff to arrive. Then I will post up some photos for you to. Nice work as usual Shaun.

Nice to see the Gevo roll up it sleeves and get into it. How does the carbon fiber bottom hold up against scratches. I know you intentionally ran right over one of those rocks in the bashing video.

Thanks for the compliments, Actually I had a lid but for it, but cracked it “big time” tree climbing two days before I got to the lake. Luckily I didn’t hurt really anything on it but broke a battery strap.. This GM can defiantly take a beating..

Thanks for your time Sir and may I say that is ONE BAD A$$ truck you have there, but I need to ask the question, what kind of miles per gallon to get and what your paying for diesel (?) it’s almost $5.00 a gallon here..

Good morning Jerry!.. It’s great to hear from you! And it’s even better to hear that your close you posting about your builds, defiantly looking forward to leaning a thing or two from the master.. it’s also nice that hear that your home safe.. How are the kids (?)..

I had a great time beating the beans out of it!.. I'm finally to the point where I forgot how much money it cost me and now I just want to beat it till to breaks.. It’s really been an outstanding truck and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great build and a strong truck to go GM..

Thanks for your time Sir and have a great day..

Shaun.

Hay GEEEEEEEEE what happen Sir..
Thanks… the GEVO is defiantly working the front of the rotation lately, it just a workhouse / given that it will run and take a beating.. I'm really, really starting to have a great time with it!. I gave up on saving it looks (I’ve got old pictures for that) so it’s time to get it real dirty, starched & dented up.. I'm treating my scratches as marks of honor now, so with that said look at how badly I'm tearing up the CF on it.. HHaaaa haaa…








Nothing!.. Hahahahaaa..
