Hey guys, my name is Mike. I've bean around the rc world of rock crawling for a long time. Here are some pics of my last trucks I built.
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But now my good friend Jason [chaseracer] has dragged me to a new side of rc's. And I have to say WOW! There is some much cool custom work here it blows my mind. Back in the day if you wanted a rock crawler you had to build one. But today any Joe on a whim can goto the hobby store and buy a truck and hit the trail an hour later. In the end you end up alot of guys that have no passion for the hobby, just some guys with $500 to blow. Looking at this aspect of the rc hobby that will nevre happin, I hope. I see all the custom fab work and just think, these are the people i want to meet. From day one I've always loved to build and fab as much as I could. In the last year I decided to step it up a note or 2 and got a 10 - 22 laith and a small mill. ![]() ![]() Kinda funny as in my first 40 years I have nevre truned a handle on either machine. A year later and I've come up with this. Even an old dog can teach himself a new trick. One of my favorite peaces I've done ![]() Thanks Mike. |

Since you are pretty much my neighbor we'll have to get together sometime soon! I'm happy to see another Islander on the forum, especially one from my home town! I have no advice to give on the truck you are about to build(not that you need it) but I do have some experience blobbing aluminum together should you need something done.
How do you like that lathe? I have been thinking about buying something small for my shop since I have use of my Dads 14x40 at his place. Reg |
