Ok...

The forecast a few days ago was wrong. It was supposed to be rain, rain, rain this morning, but it wasn't! So I charged up a battery last night and hit Julian L. Capik Nature Preserve in Sayreville, NJ this morning. It looks like there are some areas off the main trails that would be good for my Trailrunner, but you've got to be careful about going into places you shouldn't be going there. There's a police firing range in the area. I did have a nice walk. There were some people out walking their dogs. That seems to be the popular thing to do there. The dogs found the truck amusing.
I did a little bit of four wheel drive drifting as you can see in the video: Enduro Trailrunner - Julian L. Capik Nature Preserve | Flickr I unfortunately lost a screw in the front driveshaft, and I lost four wheel drive just before the halfway point. It was really challenging to drive it back home in rear wheel drive only, but the truck only had to be rescued once. I already ordered the part I'll need to fix it. Heads up for Enduro owners: You might want to check your 42022 screws on the driveshafts. They might not have been threadlocked at the factory. Two of my four appear to have not been. One fell out today, one I could feel was loose when I checked it after I got home, and the two nearest to the motor seemed tight enough. In any case, four wheel drive drifting on ice is way more fun than rear wheel drive drifting on ice. I can't wait to fix 4WD. I'm going to make sure everything's properly threadlocked this time, too.

A gas powered RC truck would be sick. You could go all mental in the woods with one of those.

Look up videos on Youtube of the X-Maxx. While something like that, no matter the power source, can go stupidly fast, it wouldn't be great in places I like to go. Even with the 3S lipo I've been using, it sometimes still goes too fast for the uneven ground, so I've got to exercise throttle control. The plus side of a crawler like mine is that it doesn't take as much of a beating that a super speed vehicle like the X-Maxx does, so things break far less often!

You know you can actually take your 4Runner out to the Pine Barrens and Offroad in a state forest right?
"Off-Roading has become increasingly popular in NJ's Pine Barrens. Wharton State Forest alone has over 500 miles of unpaved roads in its hundred thousand-plus acres of forests! ..."

Yeah, I know. I'm hoping to do some of that this spring. Rausch Creek, too. But this is legal off roading in Central New Jersey!
