Friday afternoon fun with the Traxxas Stampede truck. Years ago, I did the same kind of things, but in a 1980 Chevy Stepside truck, and tearing up that rig got pretty expensive. Now days I can hope on this RC Truck and its balls to the wall mud, rock, dirt and grass adventures. If It breaks, the parts are alot cheaper also!
Some people do it for fun, my family had to do this for a living... This time my uncle needed help to get some fertilizers to his farm that's in the middle of nowhere between Rém and Borota. I'm not saying that we didn't have fun driving dad's '88 samara trough this and even tougher terrain with 550kg (11 bags) of stuff in it. We always laugh on those stupid people who buy today's overly expensive "offroad" cars to go fishing, hunting or do some other really important things, and then they get hopelessly stuck in the first patch of mud because they don't know anything about offroading or their car. While I'd rather laugh on them, dad is the kind of person who always stops by to try and help them out. At first I didn't understand this, but now I see... it's really priceless to see their faces when the 25 years old, always laughed at, soviet relic that weights 900kg and has only 70Hp tows out their brand new 2ton, 240Hp pickup that probably cost about 50 times more. It's about skills not the car...
