    Thanx guys! I almost lost it in the ocean. Driving it in the shore line. Looked back at my son, looked back to the truck saw the tide pulling the sand from underneath it. And was completely under salty sandy water. Chassis buried, it shut down. Filled the motor packed with sand. After it dried, I was able to bring it back to life. So I got these photos before anything else would happened. Lol :eek:

    A little tip I learned from scalebuildersguild.com people use this tip from scale posters to floor drains. I decided to make vanity plates for my cars/ rigs. Might be more than I need . But theres plenty more bodies to come.

    Running like a champ. But squeaking.  Time to do a tear down. And grease her up. And replace a few bearings.

    Do you mean you have to replace bearings from one use at the beach, or were they already bad?
