Short Course in Canada

Hey guys, here is a sneak-peek at what’s coming off my workbench. I was able to get a hold of a used Traxxas Slash 2WD a little while ago. I’ll have before and after pictures and project progression. This new project of mine has been a longtime coming. Ever since the short course truck (SCT) […]
