My friends, I figured that since I did the “How to Build Snow Chains For a Scale RC Truck”video, that I better continue in assisting you to get your RC ready for the seasonal weather. I have been a long time user / believer in “Marine Grease”. Its quite thick and highly water in-soluble. Taking advantage of a good price, and getting your RC closer to complete water resistance – this video will show you what I use at the RCSparks Studio for all of my rigs.

My Friends!! WOO HOO! What a Great day.. finally I get to start attaching the PLow that KARL Shafer made for me a few months ago. Now that the Winter months are upon us.. the white cold icy snow should arrive anytime. This time.. I will be ready. It is War.. and I have my War machine. The Battle of Broken Backs will soon begin…

WOW! Get it while its hot! I just released this video tutorial on “How to make Tire Chains” for your RC Scale 4×4 Truck. This way cost me only about $30.00 in Chain – and thats becuase I purchased a lot of it. You would be able to get away with about $18-$20. Now that you know HOW to do this, please be responsible with the way you use it! I use these chains on SLOW moving vehicles. I DO NOT suggest this for High Speed vehicles. Mis-use of any RC Product can cause harm, so please be a responsible RC’r!

Have Fun my fellow RC ADDiCTS.. and don’t pack up those trail Trucks. The Season is JUST Beginning!!

Discussion Thread

Too Classic! “Movemeber”is another word for Mustaches in November, in support of Men Getting their… Well it has to do with Finding a cure for Cancer! Folks all around the world show support by growing a HUGE mustache. Great to See folks being a good sport about it! Apart from the Porno-stache.. Ryan also shows the RC ADVENTURES viewers how to lower the center of gravity on a Rock Crawler using wheel weights. Double thumbs up for this EXTENDED version of TEDS GARAGE!

Enjoy!

For 19 Episodes, you patiently watched in amazement as I constructed the most EPiC and unique build videos online. For 8 long months, you saw the project evolve from an Axial SCX10 Dingo – into the RCSparks Mammoth Dually: Project Overkill. Four Tekin FXR ESC’s and Four 35t Brushed Motors – all tie into a Dual Transmission system that drives 6 Tires.. mounted on an Extended Custom Rude Boyz Fabricated Chassis. A 1/10 Scale GMC TopKick Pulling MACHINE.

How can I make this film any more EpiC?! By Re-introducing the truck that started it all.. The Black Tundra.

UK Scaler Nationals, 2011

Friday, Sept 30 2011, I was packing up my car to head to my first R/C Scaler competition. Not knowing what to expect or what would be available, I loaded down my car with everything I thought I might need. To say I went overboard would be an understatement. I brought enough food and drinks to feed an army. I brought every spare part I had for my trucks. I loaded up my trusty SCX-10 and the newly converted AX-10 to SCX-10. Of course I couldn’t leave the Slash or all the spares for it behind. Now, 2 hours behind schedule with a 3 hour drive in front of me, I set off.
