I know weight is bad, I used to drag race motorcycles and power to weight is key. But I also have 3 Jeeps and crawl here in Colorado and weight can be a good thing in the right place for the right reason. I got back into the hobby after I bought a friend a Traxxas for helping me move my shop and was amazed at what they are now capable of. I was totally blown away and we damn near put a hole in the wall of my new house, lol. 10 years later I picked up a cheap brushed Legeandary, broke a few parts, but it was (and still is) great learning tool.
Fast forward a year and here I am with a Big Rock BLX V3 and damn it was fast. I broke a bunch more stuff (all my fault) and started my build for my style of driving. I really thought the odd toe out on the front wheels out of the box was weird, but thought "OK, they know what they're doing" even though I'm an 35 year experienced mechanic/machinist, lol. Not so much. All great stories have a beginning and I'll start there to avoid any confusion.
At this point, it was all about body protection with the Traxxas roof rack and Kraton Wing.
