We had a great turn out for the SARCC Scale Trail We had a great turn out for the SARCC Scale Trail run at Freidrich Park. Lots of scale recoveries, battery swaps, trail repairs and sweat. Pedestrian traffic was present and always gets a reaction seeing grown men playing with toy trucks. The @boom_racing truck will see a few more tweaks, but is a blast and performed well. The @rc4wd winch was putting in the work as well. Great times with great friends. Thanks to @sanchezjose914 for leading the group down the trail.
We had a great night tonight at the @alamocityhobb We had a great night tonight at the @alamocityhobbyshop Workshop- Hardbody Edition. Most were prepping for Sunday's Scale Trail Run. I will definitely post some trail pics. More progress on the Second Hand Boom rig, now sporting a functional winch and a left hand drive conversion. I started designing a basic glove box door as well to cover the gap left by the steering wheel swap. I also changed drivers to something more fitting me.
Doing some work on the 2nd hand Boom truck. First Doing some work on the 2nd hand Boom truck. First off, the iFixit kit is a must have for these trucks and honestly would greatly benefit the RC4WDs as well. Thanks to @rceveryday for the recommendation. A couple hinges needed replaced and I had a servo twitch that resulted in a receiver swap. All ironed out now. Up next is the addition of a winch and I have modified the cheap styrofoam cooler to perfectly fit the @boom_racing bed. These trucks are too cool.

This is the first in what we hope to be a series of RC Workshops Hosted by Alamo City Hobby Shop. Future workshops will include larger scale crawlers, mini-zs and even bashers.

This particular workshop is being presented by SARCC in collaboration with Trash Panda RC and will focus on 1/10 scale hardbody class 0-1 rigs as we prepare for a Texas Two Step/No Hand of God style crawl at Friedrich Park on 8/2 at 7AM - UTC. This will be posted in another event announcement.

We will have knowledgeable enthusiasts on site to help guide you with your projects, lend you a tool, or provide some tips.
Finally the @boom_racing BRX02 kit has arrived. Th Finally the @boom_racing BRX02 kit has arrived. This is going to be an exciting build. A quick peek in the box and this is the most impressive quality and kit presentation I have ever seen. With some help from my go to @reefs_rc servos, @hobbywing Fusion Elite, and @flyskyrc_official receiver this truck is pure Overkill. Progress posts to follow. However, I need to install the @jawawillkill interior in the 4runner first. Special thanks to @alamocityhobbyshop for helping me get this order together and of course @rceveryday for feeding the need to get a Boom and guidance in what route to go.

The @rcmustdiy IJ did great this morning at Grisso The @rcmustdiy IJ did great this morning at Grissom Trailhead. Definitely an amazing project for someone who wants infinite customizability and has access to a 3d printer. Have a great 250th Independence Day!
Nice morning trip to Cathedral Rock Park, SATX wit Nice morning trip to Cathedral Rock Park, SATX with the @boom_racing which did not disappoint. Truly impressive what these little trucks can do, all while looking good too. Followed it off with a stop at @alamocityhobbyshop to pick up the new shop shirts and a visit with @cowboy_rc1057 to talk shop and drop off some scale dumpsters for him to work his magic on. All in all a great morning.
This was not the way I thought my @boom_racing jou This was not the way I thought my @boom_racing journey would begin as my kit is still hung up, but thanks to a great deal on the Boom Racing BRX01 & BRX02 Official Fan Page on Facebook, I am rolling with a great starter. This will help allow me to learn the truck and take my time on the kit when I start. Of course I had to toss in my go to @reefs_rc Raw 500 and @hobbywing Fusion Elite to get it rolling how I like. Threw in a Trash Panda RC Cooler, stocked solely with Diet Cokes, and a preview of the Mascot riding shotgun. Luckily we are not all out of Bubble Gum...yet.

Let's see what all the hype is about. @fanttik_off Let's see what all the hype is about. @fanttik_official had a great Amazon Prime Day sale, so i figured with the builds coming up these would be very useful. Fanttik needs to partner with @rceveryday No one in the hobby could better represent their tools than his work with @boom_racing
When your @boom_racing kit is MIA, your @bambulab_ When your @boom_racing kit is MIA, your @bambulab_official P2s says "I'm your Huckleberry!" The back burner Project IJ becomes first in the shoot. Mostly cosmetic adjustments and repairs today. Hoping to get it on the trail tomorrow. A quick visit to @youmaginerc and I bought all the @rcmustdiy files to have some fun with this build. I want to run it on the H10 axles to try it out, but some @vanquishproducts HD44s in black are likely a furure swap.
I got notified by @alamocityhobbyshop that the fir I got notified by @alamocityhobbyshop that the first part of my @boom_racing order arrived. But then you get the news no hobbyist wants to hear..."Some items are missing." Being the amazing hobby shop they are, the team at Alamo quickly reached out to identify what happened. Unfortunately there was an issue with fulfillment from the Boom Racing US warehouse and due to personnel shortages some items were left out of the shipment...most notably, the BRX02 Series 3 88 Kit itself. All is well as they are working with Alamo to get the parts on their way, but they will not be available to ship until the end of June. So this project becomes the back burner until the rest of the parts arrive.

Enter the previous backburner project...the IJ.
I am still trying to get back in the groove from a I am still trying to get back in the groove from a nice break away in Seattle. I did work on some quick wins with the IJ and @traxxas Drift car. The @bambulab_official 3d printer has been pumping out pieces for upcoming cooler combos, the raccoon will now have a partner in mischief. We are working on finding the best shipping options to get then listed on the website later this month. Soon the two big projects will start arriving and the builds will begin. @jawawillkill notified me that we are officially in line to receive the interior upgrades for the RC4WD 4runner and @alamocityhobbyshop has placed the order for the @boom_racing BRX02 Series 3 88 build. Special thanks to @rceveryday for all the help in picking parts and planning that one. Then the backburner @project_ij build is in the planning phase to make it my own. Now that summer is upon us we will soon be attending more events as well. Stay tuned more to come.
