After months, she's still alive!

If some of you remember, I made a cage in the early spring that I was kind of apprehensive about.

But, after a long while of beating on it. Its still good. I would like to make a lighter one, but we'll see how motivated I get.

After the four fantastic rides on my nice rpm mag rims before the one shattered, I decided some ugly SOLID rims were in order.

After buying yellow I regretted it lol, hense why I painted the cage yellow. Just to get some flow going. But, totaly should have done black.


At least my truck is very visible.

eh... Bodies are a no go. This is my truck, no body, just cage lol

I dont really care for the bodies too much. Seeing this thing fly around, reminds me of a little baja truck.
When I first got my savage, learning to jump and ****. I destroyed the body basically instantly. Kind of turned me off of spending 40-60 on a painted body when I was just going to wreck it.

No movies, I bought my girlfriend a little kodak digi camera which takes beautiful bike videos. Haven't seen whether or not it keeps up with the rc yet.

So, soon maybe. I need a new motor bad though. Mine only screams in the high rpms now. There is no torque anymore. Its got about 8 gallons or so through it, my first nitro... lots of screw ups along the way. I would say it has done alright.

But, its time for a new one.
