today was the first real bashing session i had since last year. had no where to be, no where to go and nothing that i love doing more then rc'ing. the wife is out of town(if thats what you want to call it
) and i really needed this after a super long week. i packed up my 2 rigs and everything i needed to fix any carnage that may happen and hit the road to happyness. i found this decant spot not far from home, but far enough if ya know what i mean. an abandoned golfing range. its really wide open with a good site range as well. i was looking for more jumps and obsticles but was happy with what i found. nothing big enough to lose my sences. i finally got the rage tuned perfectly and man am i happy with it. the 28.5 and the X-can give it just enough power, but not enough to worry about breaking anything. im still undecided as to pull the mt tires off it or just be happy with the way it is. all the alum really paid off. im pretty sure i would have burried that plastic with all the "cart-wheels".. besides my shocks and the body its pretty much industructable(shafts coming this week) i ran it for just under 3 tanks before the front stock shock crapped out, and by that time i was ready to fire up the torment(tt). i haven't really run it in yet. i put 1/2 tank on it yesterday and 3 full tanks today. its definatly lacks in power, but the stock mill has potential with a pipe. it jumps fairly well, but nose dives a little. im able to correct that with throttle responce at the base of the jump. but if it hits slightly off he flops around like a fish out of water.the torment took many good spills and some really hard knock arounds that i thought would bring me back to my pimped out track side ride( 
). but nothing. took a fair amount of abuse. i have some tunning to do with the suspension so it jumps better but not till i get my new shock shafts. im going to get a side dom and a few other things and call it done. i think it will hold up fairly well for what im going to use it for. between to rigs i ran 5 tanks of fuel wit the only casualty being one stock shock shaft..so to say that today was a good day is an understatement. i needed this.
yesterdays vid came out like crap and todays vid is only a little better, im down loading them now but should be a while
sorry for the long post, thanx guys!!!
