Special thanks to Jeremy with @profoam_rc for helping really push things forward. Then we followed it up with some well deserved queso and a stop at @alamocityhobbyshop to round out my M3 Mini Z collection to now include a Drift version. This year's event is shaping into the best Texas Crawlfest ever. Hope to see y'all there.

New scale engine from @jedesignsalaska,  adjustable front buckets from Rusty Bucket RC on Etsy, and added a Mexican Blanket over the back seat. When you are adding electronics that will be hard to get to later there is no changing it, so @reefs_rc Raw 500 and @hobbywing Fusion Elite went in as well. Thanks to @alamocityhobbyshop for the support and helping aquire all the parts needed to get it together. Now to print the inner fenders and continue prepping it for the Show and Shine at @texascrawlfest

This project has been going on in the background f This project has been going on in the background for a bit. This marks a sharp detour in the @texascrawlfest 2026 build. It started as an RTR red truck, but thanks to a quick kit bash with the help of @alamocityhobbyshop it is now this amazing chocolate brown with tan. Special thanks to @kennys.custom.crap for the custom roll cage and Bikini Top. Designed to work with and without the hard top. @profoam_rc designed custom-made inserts for the tiny tires.
