So-Cal Bash time!..

[TDC57]

It was another fantastic time out with the So-Cal gang today…
jNev had a triple or a two an half back flip, Metalman pulled off a quadruple back flips (4 back flips before touching the ground!) Tuclia got 2-3 corkscrews out of his Bad ass 1/5 scale HPI. Bl-Rvo showed up with a few builds, I completely destroyed my battle truck in many many tiny pieces We were getting 20”+ in the air off jumps... ect. Etc.. Probably had about 10-12 guys with about 30 trucks total.. We cooked up 18 burgers 15 dogs. Rschoi let some local kids drive one if build and they broke it within minuets, we met some cool local guys and spanked there nitro’s all day.. LOL.LOL..

And I don’t think anyone still has a working / functional build at this point..
I’ll post video and pictures later tonight. I need a shower..

Thanks again for everybody showing up!!! HAD A BLAST!!!!

So-Cal ROCKS!!!!!!!

Yeah... we pretty much broke everything we brought... but I think metalman still had a functional xtm rage 1/18th at the end of the day...

I was definitely one of the best bashes we had so far. The spot is perfect. Good firm dirt, not a lot of rocks, great terrain features, and the big jump was a monster! I really hope the vids and pics came out well.

I have to say I was really impressed with everyone's builds. Everyone's truck or buggy ran great for a while... then we started messing around with the big jump. There were a LOT of impressive jumps and brutal crashes from everyone. Most of the trucks went down with minor problems like a busted turnbuckle or broken battery strap (and we didn't happen to have a spare). Others were more serious... like Shaun's battle truck after taking one too many jumps off the big one. Seeing his 15lb beast take a 20' jump while smoking and dropping parts everywhere is already in my top 5 best r/c memories.

I'm already excited for the next one! I will definitely bring my spare parts and a soldering iron next time.
