| Further Description/Back Story | Building/customizing has always been my favorite part of the rc hobby. Rock crawling is huge in AZ and moving here let me learn all about it and I love the challenges it provides. I decided to build my first rock crawler as that let me build it to what I thought I needed to be competitive. I’m lucky as my local shop, Superstition Hobbies, provided great advice and parts. The truck has been great to drive and fun to work on. My goal is to get to the top of a particular trail and I always fall about a foot short of the top. It feels like I’m just one part/idea away from the top so I’m going to keep looking for that magic to reach my goal. |
