Venon MiniGiant

Picked up one of these yesterday, very fun truck to play around with. Only been indoors so far. Mods done are bearing kit and upgraded motor. i think it goes pretty quick, but I need to lower the COG to make faster turns. A lot of roll.

Some pics. Excuse mundane shell.

I bought my TLT-1 for an indoors toy. Figured so sonce it'd be able to climb over all the crap lying around. Mine too is now too fast to stay inside.

Sunk the mini giant into a shallow creek the other night. Was very sad I almost cried, jumped in after it. Wasn't working. Rush into the house to get the hair dryer, take out the electrics gave it a good blowing over.

Yay it worked! Later that night it started to glitch really bad, I thought something must have shorted the ESC/reciever, damn. Spent a day at uni, and read forums about glitching, turns out my batts were flat. NEWBIE! Having fun with my little truck now. Gotta mod so the COG isnt so high though.
