Last night I ran an all-night lockin for my youth group so between 1-5am I was able to get some hobby time in. No family, kids (of my own), TV etc... I have to say though- one teen had some kickin smelling feet and literally cleared a room for 45min. They were all lightweights too... Fell asleep at 4:30am to Sleepless in Seattle (I was like... WHAAATTT) anyways I took pictures of them all crashed then shared it all over facebook. One teen came up to me and said- how are you still awake... you're doing some kind of metal work- how boring I'm surprised you're not sleeping. YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND KID


Nailed down some cool builds... check out where I am at with the Predator- It's looks really sharp if I don't mind saying so!









The body is in- just need to run to homedepot and LHS to pick up some last minute things... then mockup and setup.

Looking great! I love the blue. Thanks for the wiring shots. I think I'll do mine the same way. :tmb
Yeah it looked a real rats nest before. foldem up tie-em together and it definitely looks better. I still need to dean the plugs end for the esc(s). If you need a better pic let me know. This one turned out a lot better than my terminator wire job- I took it back out to compare and it looks like I was in kindergarten the first time

Looks great Mike, the blue accents really set it off. You do not see that color ever on a truck.

Yeah Yeah I hear ya... should be easy to resale if that ever comes. Then I got to thinking... both of my personal 1:1 cars are Blue. Hummm must be a good color to pick. My next one will be real villain-like and you know bad guys never do blue... not the real bad ones at least.

looking sharp with the blue and all like that :tmb
You know what my favorite part is the little shock mounts on the curled lower links... that is actual the flashpoint of the whole build for me when I pick them up from Digger and then the Predator chassis came out from CPE. Gotta give ScottyK a shoutout- rear lockout wheeliebar is a must!
