Jeeping the Jeep on this rickety stone wall! A bit sketchy w/ the proximity to traffic, but a cool spot nonetheless.

Finding the fun between a rock and, well, another rock! Here's three clips for ya: the first two are the same line in both directions, and the third is an interesting feature I found between the two rocks (and then built upon).

This outing was quite a fun one before I noticed my steering binding up. Took it back home, turns out both the bottom kingpins fell out! Guess these Injora planet axles need some more purple thread lock, I seem to have missed a spot.

Only got to run it at my spot for 20 minutes, but it's official: I have the best Piranha build! Perhaps it's not the *very* best in terms of performance, but I haven't seen this chassis look this good anywhere else!

This build is still a work in progress. All of the electronics are stolen from my K10 before I figure out what exactly I want in this thing (gotta be an Injora Green Viper in there for sure, but don't know about ESC/receiver yet). I got the Injora 41mm Maverix tires hoping they were going to work well, and with the new silicone inserts they are absolutely wonderful! I also got these Injora Planet axles from Amazon, and they don't have the new sliders on them (figured that'd be the case), I may contact Injora about getting a set if I feel like I miss it, or I wait till they come out with a titanium grey set if ever.

Oh! I'm trying to think of a name for this build, the working title is "Peregrine" (kinda sounds like "piranha-green" lol). I would love to hear y'all's ideas!

This was very fun to put together, I think building and upgrading these things is as fun as crawling them! That's a dangerous slope though, I gotta make sure I keep myself in check 😂

The Mofo RC Piranha makes for some cool Rorschach-esque puzzle pieces while I'm waiting! Which one do you like best?

This is a brand new Axial plastic skid plate from their assembled transmission replacement part. Everything went together well besides these chassis mount holes, which seem to be really tight (I didn't have any problems with both my stock SCX30 skids, I'm assuming the initial tap is the sketchiest part). This is the first real mishap I've made in my 30 wrenching, I'm usually pretty light on the screws and this didn't feel much different.

Anyone have problems with the replacement plastic skids? Are my Mofo RC screws just not strong enough? Perhaps I could have tried backing out every couple mm's or so and going back and forth to ease the tapping. Any other tips?

I already have a replacement Injora skid plate coming in tomorrow, and I am also talking w/ Axial customer support as well to get some feedback.

I'm not jealous... Not jealous at all... 😂

Of course I had to crawl some more at this spot on the way back from vacation! It'll be a new tradition for this trip for sure. Found some really interesting lines up closer to the dam outlet, this is just one of them.

Cool rock, cool view, cool lines!

A vast crawl spot discovery today while road tripping with a friend! There's so many lines to drive, I would never be able to do them all!

I had one of my friends drive my K10 while I drove my JLU, this was a favorite feature we found; who knew a concrete footprint would make a great micro Moab!
