I got my R/C monster truck ready for winter and decided to have a little fun in the parking lot at my work.

lay: The "action" shots I had to take while holding my phone in one hand and trying to drive the car with the other, which was a wee bit difficult.

I know there are others here with R/C vehicles, so you can winterize your little ride by wrapping up your servos and other electronics and batteries in balloons or, if space is tight, plastic wrap.

The subject of today's photo shoot is an HPI Savage X SS.

And here it is after it ran out of fuel:

You know I had to work in the Escape somehow...

With the body off. The big purple thing on the right side of the picture is the heatsink for the engine.

Now I just need some real snow around here! :calvin:

I am a big RC guy and I really dislike driving it in the snow because I just hate cleaning it afterward! But it is fun as hell. Mine is a Revo. I got about $3,000 into this thing and love it. I must love blue because I got a blue body for it and painted it up last year. Then bought the Sport Blue Metallic Escape. They look pretty close. Now I gotta find an Escape body to fit it...

I took the pictures when I cleaned and stored it for the winter. It is up on blocks now. Well on a stand anyway.

The lights look great on that Savage.
