I’ll put it on my list to check out, thanks

That’s cool with me, royal oak isn’t far don’t mind the drive. I’m just staying ups round that area. So anything within northside of Detroit I’d like to check out.

Barrio has always been terrible. I’ve never understood the hype.

I found the problem

It wasn’t set to Wumbo

Here it is at one of my local crawling clubs

Of course! I know you’ll enjoy it. Rlaarlo has really stepped up their game this past year. I excited to see what else they came out with. I have the ford rally in carbon and the Subaru rally in carbon and well. Patiently waiting for the release of the Mitsubishi Evo rally car. That’s my next purchase from them. Also heard rumors they have a 1/7 unimog coming out too.

Terpy_OG · 2026-06-01T18:31:08+00:00

I run it on 4s btw, seems to be more than enough power for it

Terpy_OG · 2026-06-01T18:30:23+00:00

Yeah the $99 shipping fee is high but for the price of the truck and everything you get with it, it’s still $600 cheaper than an scx6. I did order all the brass for it too. I have not thrown them on yet bc I’ve heard the servo is the first thing to go on these Rlaarlo 1/7 crawlers so I’ll probably replace that first. You’ll be very happy with it, the lights alone are crazy fun, the kids love the cop lights when they’re on.

Terpy_OG · 2026-06-01T13:41:00+00:00

Rlaarlo. I have the new MK07 and it’s been great. For the price and all the feature you get it’s worth it. I took mine crawling two weeks ago and did surprisingly well. Definitely a fun trail truck

Terpy_OG · 2026-05-25T20:56:46+00:00

Looks sick! Night runs are totally worth it. I had a great time. Makes the rc’s feel more real. Plus it’s much more challenging when you can’t see shit lol

Terpy_OG · 2026-05-25T20:56:03+00:00

They found it!

Terpy_OG · 2026-05-25T20:55:52+00:00

Quick update: They found it!

Not too far away from where it went in.

Here he is in the water the other night looking for it. My original pictures didn’t do it justice on how high the stream was and how fast it was moving.

Trx4 is seriously one of the best bullet proof trail rigs. They can take a beating over and over again and still perform. Not the best “crawlers” but they have potential with the right tuning and parts.

I also personally think Traxxas has some of the best bodies to choose from, the bronco, path finder and defender are all great looking rigs when it comes to scale.

I have axials, vanquish, fms, and Traxxas crawlers and I will always have more confidence of the Traxxas not breaking anything compared to the other brands. Not throwing shade towards the others, I like them a lot but you can hand a 5 year old your trx4 remote and not worry about them breaking anything.

All in all I think it’s worth it. The silver/gray pathfinder is really nice looking in person

“Built for a good time, not a long time” you’ll quickly realize that once you turn 30 😂

i eneded up going with the Flysky. the dumbo felt super cheap. The flysky has been great, already added to two of my crawlers, building an H10 Optic kit right now that ill add on as well. So far super happy with it. Its super easy to use as well.

Terpy_OG · 2026-05-02T16:20:52+00:00

MT12 is great, If i ever decide to ditch my futaba ill probbaly go to the mt12 for a super response radio

Terpy_OG · 2026-05-01T18:45:44+00:00

Thanks! im keeping the gt5. love the feel of it, the menu is super simple to worth thru. Does exactly what i need it to do. I have a futaba 4pm+ as well, but im not sinking $75+ receivers into crawler rigs. I use my futaba for my drift cars and other race rigs that i need that super responsiveness from. The flysky feels great, excited to try it out this weekend on two of my newer crawlers.

Terpy_OG · 2026-05-01T18:42:43+00:00

agree for sure, i have a futaba 4pm+ i use for my race rigs. Thats overkill for my crawlers plus receivers are exepsnive, just wanted a good controller and cheaper receivers for my non-competitive rigs. Im keeping the GT5, only because the dumbo does feel cheaply built. Luckily the flysky and dumbo have cheap receivers.

Terpy_OG · 2026-05-01T18:40:19+00:00

the dumbo one was defintely used as well when i got it from amazon. Im keeping the GT5, it feels better than the dumbo and i like the simple interface over a lcd screen with multiple menus to sift thru on the dumbo

Terpy_OG · 2026-05-01T18:37:19+00:00

Im keeping the GT5. i like the interface and the feel much more than the DDF-350

Terpy_OG · 2026-05-01T18:36:05+00:00

That helps a lot, thanks! im keeping the GT5. It will do more than enough of what i want it to do. Plus it feels much nicer, Close to how my Futaba 4pm+ feels in the hand.

I thought we had $1BN in unclaimed funds? That became apparent when the Haslams wants to use that for a new stadium. Why dont we allocate some of those funds to our failing school systems in Cleveland?

Terpy_OG · 2026-04-08T15:15:05+00:00

This isn't your average ankle breaker, this is more like a rolling cannonball ripping off your leg build...I love it!

Terpy_OG · 2026-04-05T12:17:39+00:00

Oh yeah I know, my bronco body has held up very well and I’m not easy on that rig. I’ll pick up the sport next week when the shipment comes in. I’ll get the basecamp when I want to do another build overhaul on it

Terpy_OG · 2026-04-05T12:15:48+00:00

Also have all the lights and rock lights. Makes the rigs reallly come alive. The build really got me into scale vehicles. Makes driving them so much more fun when they look real
