Nope I haven't ever had a problem. Honestly I haven't run my TC3 rally much in large debris, only sand.

But we should definitely have a meet soon.

I'm definitely down. I have a DF03-RA with a 04 and 08 STi shell but can't find any pics. Here's another one I have on a TB02 chassis:

someone knock some sense into me...i'm becoming too American!!!

The wheelbase is 206mm on the mini slash and the DF03Ra is 150-160mm...if it were 200 range i would buy the slash and slap a rally body on it!

Kyle, I just got the Kodak ZX3 Playsport. It got some good reviews. 1080 HD, waterproof to 10 feet, compact. This is mainly for my in-car for autocross but I'll be playing around with it. I'll try it on my RC one of these days.
$120 on Amazon.

Awesome. Yeah RC videos are kinda boring to watch unless they have smooth slo mo shots to keep it scale IMO. I used to shoot my Kyosho Overland (2wd) crawling years ago and cut the speed in half, it looked awesome. My friend worked at Circuit City at the time and put it up on the TV screens and people thought it was real!

Ahh one of the many money pits.
My baby is an HPA Sprint 2 Drift that now does about 95mph
Others are an HPA Baja 1/5 scale buggy, a random 1/18 scale buggy and a Kyosho Inferno GT.

I always wanted to get one of those! My old house would have been PERFECT for a rally course.
