Tires are a bit tall, but they were already mounted, so good for now. Once the 3d printer is freed up, I'll start printing some changes. More to come.

So a Drift Basher it is in the @traxxas Drift. Found some good 3d print files to make some basic adjustments. Also tossed the slow Traxxas servo and found this Powerhobby in the parts bin. Time to find some fresh asphalt.

It is hard to believe that just a week ago this fi It is hard to believe that just a week ago this field was packed with over 500 people out enjoying the RC hobby. A special thanks to Sam at GSL Ranch for allowing us to use his property for @texascrawlfest. Its tradition over the past few years to come back a week later and walk the property for trash, secure any lingering structures, and get a staff crawl in. Thank to the Trail Team for making this year's trails the best ever.
Thanks to Eric at @lockeduprc for this amazing sho Thanks to Eric at @lockeduprc for this amazing shot of the Main Event Grounds. This is a small sample of the record breaking crowd that was @texascrawlfest 2026.
Thats a wrap for @texascrawlfest 2026. I cannot th Thats a wrap for @texascrawlfest 2026. I cannot thank everyone enough for the amzang support shown to us, both personally at Trash Panda RC and as Staff/Admin at Texas Crawlfest/SARCC. This year was one for the record books. We still have areas to improve coming out of our reset year last year, but man did the team put everything into this year and it showed. We are in such an amazing place and already planning for more next year. Trash Panda RC sponsored its first event in the Texas Two Step which was a huge success and has already resulted in many planned builds by our participants for next year, myself included...Shout out to @boom_racing for being such an amazing event sponsor. As a result, I will be building a Series 3 to support them in return for supporting us. We had so many amazing sponsors on site. It really feels like a family when everyone gets together. My oldest Charleigh, assisted by her sisters, filmed several candid interviews that will be posted as we get them edited. Keep posted as we prepare for next year and the build begins.

Thank to everyone. But I would be remise if I didnt throw a special thanks to @alamocityhobbyshop for being there since I jumped back into the hobby and being my hobby family, to GSL Ranch for being home for the event, to @lockeduprc for being so kind to my family and all of the kids of Texas Crawlfest, to @longtalltexanrc for the idea to start an Instagram and your continued support along this journey, to @jaycrawlsalot for collabing on that amazing Schoolhouse, to @sanchezjose914 for the opportunity to help lead Texas Crawlfest, to @rceveryday for being such an amazing friend in the community and bouncing ideas back and forth. But most of all thank you to @glitterandgearsshop my amazing family for joing me in this journey and best supportive.
Day 1 Update: This was the biggest Friday ever for Day 1 Update: This was the biggest Friday ever for @texascrawlfest yet also smoother than previous years. With that said everyone was out having a great time. As we hosted our first event as @trashpandarc2022  the Texas Two Step did start off a little late due to the 4runner suffering some stage fright (transmitter decided to unbind itself). However, once that was sorted out, it was an amazing display of scale trailing and recoveries. The 2026 scale trail did not disappoint. The trail did did an amazing job. The Texas Two Step will definitely return in 2027. Get those scale builds ready. 

As I was so busy helping run the event, I did not get too many pictures. I will do an event wrap up later next week, but therenarenso many amazing things to do this year.
It was a long, busy first day at @texascrawlfest b It was a long, busy first day at @texascrawlfest but we got everyone that arrived set in with minimal issues as the grounds continued to dry. Now aside from a few very avoidable soft spots we are rolling. Azaria enjoyed some time chasing Rambo, although he proved to be much better at chasing her. Already spotted a raccoon in someone's truck. Then as we set in for the night, in true Texas fasion  an Armadillo scurried out from under the RV. Here's to tomorrow. Can't wait to see everyone.
When its the night before an early morning departu When its the night before an early morning departure to @texascrawlfest but you still need to crank out a few more last minute touches. Had to design a basic battery tray, get it fitted and then run cables. Definitely wanted to be done sooner, but times gets away from you. So excited to host the my passion project. Texas Two Step. The trail team has truly excelled this year. The scale trail is the best it has ever been. See y'all soon.

We have been learning a few new tricks in the back We have been learning a few new tricks in the background due to issues with previous RC companies either no longer producing products or having significant delays. As a result, we can now print scale stickers of our own, so its time to help out friends while we fine tune our printing process. Next up let's try scale banners. As we continue to prepare for @texascrawlfest I needed scale stickers for the Texas Two Step event, all of this was because of that. Enter Rabit Hole.
