We get those days around here too, IIRC this was in less than one full day and it's not like my Jeep is running rubber bands for tires either

Real, look at the sag in the drive chain.

Guys when it comes to flooded basements and models.... Rubbermade is your friend! Trust me on this, even though most of my collection is in a storage area instead of a basement (or built and on display ), those have already paid for them selves to boot!!!!!!!! Just look at places like Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Meijer, and the like for sales on that type of product. Not only is it easier to keep things dry, , but they stack neatly and they work great if you are moving and need to transport things!

ok, let me get this straight.....he would "key" his freshly painted body and "touch it up" with the color of choice? I'd screw that up for sure

That sucks Ken, we got a good amount on the Dupage/Kane County boarder but luckily nothing like that at home. I was talking to somebody yesterday who lives in Bartlett and he watched some kids ride bikes through a flooded parking lot and one of them dumped their bike....when this kid went down he completely disappeared under the water He also ran across a full size van in about 3ft of water (literally half sunk!) BTW, do you still listen to The Loop?

Just got to start on it yesterday...and was hung over this morning from it

They're good trucks, but get the kit or ARTR instead of the RTR, the links on the RTR are extremely flexable! I just got the Losi Mini-Rock Crawler and it has been a pretty good little truck, but I may have stripped the stock plastic diff locker for the left rear at the SCRC comp today. Sounds like things are going good Gregg! All of mine are a little "growly" and the WK even has a little tick to it too.

Wow, kinda looks like a 70's street freak type machine!

I'd take a Buick, Olds, or Pontiac over another same era Chevy anyday!

Heheh, I wasted an evening on the Capones Vault flop.......

You going to be here all weekend or just on the vendor days during the show?

Not the first time I've heard that

More pics! First two are all three of my crawlers Had it out on some rocks today The crappy weather had me climbing the crawlers yesterday And yes, I drove it up there....and back down!

Hybrid electric more along the lines of the Green Goat rail road switcher than the Pious. I do like the cars styling, but still think the concept car looks better. When I heard that the production model wasn't going to look muhc like the concept, I was expecting it to look more like the Caliber for some weird reason

That thing is waaaaaaaay cool, but I don't dare buy it........my fleet is getting a little large for a truck that big

I guess they were stuck for what to get me and Dad knew I had put it on layaway when Mom asked if he had any clue was what to buy me. The HPI's and Traxxas stuff I've bought has been all my money, but the three Losi's have all been gifts, but they're among the cheaper priced vehicles I've had too.

Looks like a model, maybe with a few photoshop tricks................

Last tuesday the HTU I work for got in 3 of the new Losi Mini-Rock Crawlers in the three different colors they're offered in. I had that day off and was told they came in when I got there wed, so I went to take a look at them. By hte time I went on lunch the one painted black was on hold for me to put on layaway by friday. I put $50 dollars down on it and figured I pay it off a little at a time over the next couple months. I was kinda babysitting Mom (she's still recovering from her knee operation) while Dad went and ran some errands and she told me they forgot that my birthday was coming up about 10 days later (I thought they had a good excuse to forget, with the knee surgery and all ) That evening Mom asked me what I wanted as a gift so I told her and Dad that I'd be happy with just a gift card to work and an i-Tunes card. That's when I was told that part of Dad's errands was to pay off the layaway on the truck. One of the manager's figured I be looking where ever I could to figure out where the truck had gone, so I was told ahead of time They let me have the truck early too. I took it to work on sunday and ended up using it to sell another MRC and convince a customer's son to start saving for his own.....before I even had the chance to charge the battery for it Box Stock Losi Mini Crawler And after a few tweeks!

Here's the insperation on the hammered custom van http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c206/Cho...avyMetalVan.jpg and what originally inspired me to go all out on it was the episode of monster garage where the '54 Belair was kustomized.

Wow, did it fold the front of the frame back some?

Glad I'm not the only one that thought that 6 looked a little slanted I do like the wires too though.

Looks more like a slant than an inline , very cool if it is!

You mean you don't carry modeling tools with you?
