Winter Fun

So for my birthday I got myself an Traxxas E-Revo. It is pretty sweet. The best thing about it is that it is water proof! I get to run through puddles and play in the snow with little consequences. I had to send in my E-Maxx ESC because I was playing in the water. So when winter arrived I started building a pile for a jump. It wasn't the greatest. Then we got more snow. We got the snow-blower this time and made the pile much bigger. Then we got even more snow. So the piles are pretty good. We even made a tall corner. It is pretty nice. Needs to harden up a bit more though.

Here is the layout. It is hard to see the trucks go around the course since the snow is pretty deep. It works eventually. The main jump is about 4 feet I am guessing. It all depends on the snow on top gets leveled as the trucks go off the top.










Here is the E-Revo. It is a monster. All I have right now are 6-cell packs. I ordered some 7-cell packs today. I can't wait to get the new batteries. It will be even more impressive. Look out cats and small dogs.










I got a few good shots of the E-Revo going over the jump. Darrel was driving. This is one of the best ones.












The only problem is that I am not a good driver. It is too much fun to have the throttle at full. Good thing it is just snow.












Here is what was on the car after pulled it out. I am so glad that it is water proof.

Looks like a blast.
 
Ok.... I am seriously jealous!
 
I might actually dare to drive one in the snow. Good padding so I don't break it.
