I rum a Stock Slash, brushed motor 2wd truck and an Associated 4wd brushless truck, both set up for Larry's indoor track.

I have others, too, but those are the "winter rides."

I'm also building one of my Christmas gifts, lol.

I have been running up at Larry's every Saturday morning when the doors open with my buddies.

winter time is usually mod research and materials gathering.

Last winter I looked at what paint type of cosmetics I was able to do for my Camaro. Then when things warmed up, I painted sidemarkers, engine cover, fog light bezel, rear bow tie, shark fin, door panels with ABL, dash trim panels, steering wheel bezel, center gauges bezel and shifter base.

Winter is definitely modding season for me or at least looking at things I want and then realize its out of my price range.

Nice!

I'll check my trucks out and try to get up there.

Neumatic · 01-14-2014, 07:07 PM

Buy and install mods of course!

Seriously...that's about all iv done this winter.

JAX CAMARO · 01-14-2014, 07:16 PM

My thing is working as much as possible and checking out all the great mods people have done on here and working on my wish list for 2014

joelster · 01-14-2014, 08:35 PM

I do a lot of fishing. We get some great runs of Steelhead (BIG rainbow trout) in the tributarie of Lake Erie and Ontario.

Winter is time to SAVEING Money for things to buy in the SPRING

Like hotel and food and gas money to head down to Texas for the C5FEST

I'm in Cali so this thread is actually the opposite for me, camaro stays out rc cars are in storage. I have a savage that I built from the kit (those interested in rc I highly recommended) and a tc3 that had a modded novorassi motor that was supposed to do 100+, first time I got it I bump started it and the controller failed and it went full speed into an industrial trash can... I've almost got it all fixed with the exception of motor.

That's awesome... just checked out your vid.Not sure how fast mine will go with a 3s yet. I'll have to wait until Spring. What motor are you running? This is a very fun hobby for the Winter. You can get mod crazy with these too, but at a much cheaper cost. There is really nothing stock on my Slash anymore. I pretty much have enough left over parts to build one for my wife now. Larry's is pretty awesome. I have pretty much been living up there every Sat morning with my kids and buddies. Gives me something to do until I can break out the real car.

Well, I figured I would resurrect this thread again since I started it. So, the Camaro is tucked back away in storage here in Michigan. So, with the one car asleep I have returned to my other hobby... RC cars. I got back into this again last year mainly to have something I could do with my boys. Anyways, I picked up another one. This time I went with the Slash 4x4 Ultimate. Check out some pics. I picked up a new body I painted over the weekend. I stayed true to my Camaro colors, but went with the Ford Raptor body instead of the Chevy Silverado. I just liked the way the Raptor looked better. I also did an orange one. I just finished up doing a couple for my kids.
