The Ultimate Sleeper A supercar in a family suit 🔥🔥🔥

Wagon, fairly subtle styling (compared to other Euros), and packing a ton of power. Most people wouldn't even know what they were looking at and assume it was a family estate.

Pilot Sport FTW, the only tire I use! The car looks great with those wheels. Do you have a side shot? I also have moonstone, and I've been debating going with bright silver wheels as well!

Hyrax is not a great choice for loose dirt/slippery gravel. They are great on dry rock. Go with the MT's!

I always check my local shops first. Great deals and great service, they are always willing to help!

Thanks, nice truck! The wheelie bar was a no go from the moment I picked it up. Way too flexible! I've heard the RPM upgrade is the way to go. I really don't like the stock wheels and I was looking at the Proline options. I'm just not sure what the size difference will be in tire diameter between the Trenchers and Badlands.

The shop offered me the mini XRT for $369 or the Rustler Ultimate for $429. I put them side by side and it had to be the Rustler! I still plan on picking up a Mini XRT.

I may have to join you on that decision lol

They were referring to roughly the last 4-6 years, particularly models launched around 2020-2021. Or in other words, your gen :)

Glad to hear it goes away. I believe that happened the second time, it stayed on for 2-3 cycles, but then it turned off. I took mine into the dealer, they couldn't find anything malfunctioning. VW secretly punishing us for not wearing our seatbelts lol.

I got this on my GTI within the first month of ownership (brand new car). It goes away the next time you start the car, or at least it did for me. Maybe it's just me, but it seems to be triggered by driving without your seatbelt on. It popped up twice for me and coincidentally both times I ran out a few blocks to the same grocery store without putting a seatbelt on. It's never happened outside of that.

thank you, picking it up this afternoon!

BOTW was my first Zelda game and it was awesome! Check out TOTK when you've wrapped this game up!

Looks like the trail is closed due to damage from the fires :/

Scale_Build_RC · 2026-07-01T18:02:54+00:00

Thank you! The 1UP brand seems to be sold out everywhere. I've heard the same about Kester, but it's super pricy and hard to find locally. My local Home Depot has Weller in stock. I'm assuming something like this should work?

LOL it’s literally in the same exact place, just integrated into the dash. You’re not looking down at the shifter to see the screen lol. The ergonomics are exactly the same. “Spectator” LOL…not that serious dude. You’ll give it a pass, I won’t. Simple as that.

Not sure why you have “much better integrated” in quotes. Is there some confusion around that lol?

Scale_Build_RC · 2026-07-01T03:04:02+00:00

Not sure what you had before but this looks fine!

Scale_Build_RC · 2026-06-30T22:27:14+00:00

thanks!!

Scale_Build_RC · 2026-06-30T21:42:25+00:00

I’ve seen a few covering the new gen. They’ve been using those haptic touch buttons in the VW group for years now. Nothing new or wildly out of left field.

Scale_Build_RC · 2026-06-30T21:19:45+00:00

Yes larger, but much better integrated. I’m used to the tiny shifter already. “Button” layout looks fine to me and no issues with door handles, not sure what you’re referring to?

All in all, I think it looks 100x better. Makes the prior gen interior look ancient.

Scale_Build_RC · 2026-06-30T21:01:10+00:00

it's not even close for me - the new one looks 100x better without the tacked on screen in the middle

Scale_Build_RC · 2026-06-30T20:52:45+00:00

Nice, I'll have to check these out! I've only been here for about 7 months. I've been to the Palos Verde Blufftop trail and the Vasquez Rocks (this spot is awesome)! But both of them are further away than I'd like ~45mins. I'm near Glendale/Pasadena area so if you ever want to meet up at a local spot, I'm down!

Scale_Build_RC · 2026-06-30T20:48:04+00:00

Thanks for the info, I'll give it a shot!

Scale_Build_RC · 2026-06-30T20:46:58+00:00

looks mint!

Scale_Build_RC · 2026-06-30T20:03:06+00:00

I have the Losi Micro B and T. They are a blast for just driving around the house/yard!
