Shout Outs – Explained

I’m going to explain my shout outs.

Some people get all upset about shout outs and think I do to many or that my intentions behind the shout outs are less than awesome.

1st, let me set this record straight. I do shout outs for my followers for the reason of getting their name out. I have been doing shout outs from the beginning, and I’m not going to stop, for anyone.

2nd, I have no grand plan to have the most followers, the best account, the number one in all things insta. That is not me, or who I am in real life, or instaland.

3rd, I am and will always be about RC community. So I will continue to be all about the RC community. Not everyone on IG lives in a rich RC environment. Meaning, you have a lot of people that RC around you. I’m from a small town in Vermont, and I can count on one hand how many people that RC here.

With doing shout outs, I have met people from Sweden, Australia, Switzerland, Canada… Eh? And all over the states as well. I’m in a “crew” which others have a problem with because of all the drama. My crew, drama free, friendly, supportive, and AWESOME!

Shout outs get the RC Community world out to the masses. All my shout outs are either RC related or a really great follower. I don’t shout out random accounts that have the “gotta be number one” mentality. I don’t shout out people that demand, ask like a douche or new followers. MY ACCOUNT!! If I lose followers because of this, so be it, but I’m a dedicated RC dude! Not here to get YOU famous when there are already FAMOUS people on IG!

So when you see a shout out from me, just know it has a purpose, a reason, other than a random shout out to gain popularity or make you upset!! Believe it or not, it’s all about RC!!

Project #twistedsister

This is a little build thread I’m making for my latest project called Twisted Sister. I’ll just tell you know, I name everything, I always have and probably always will.

So TS (twisted sister) is an Axial SCX10, the Rubicon Recon G6. If you don’t know this rig, go check
It out on Axial’s website to get all the specs. It’s based on an actual event held mostly on the West Coast called the Recon G6. The event was created by a man known as Brian Parker. He is one of the funniest, cool, and weird guys I’ve had the pleasure of meeting, on Instagram. He is helpful, respectful, and wears toe shoes…

I live in VT and there are NO scale/rock crawler comps anywhere in the immediate VT area… So with that, I bought the comp ready G6. Ha! I have not done a whole lot of chassis/suspension upgrades yet. I am, we’ll just say, not rich, so I replace stuff as it breaks. Some of the small cheap mods I’ve done is shim the axles to get rid of some of the slop they come with. I’ve learned a little bit here and there on how to fix or get rid of entirely over the years.

I have just purchased a new aluminum set-up for the front axles. C-Hubs, Knuckles, and rear lock-outs from a company that’s online. I also purchased new CVD style axles for the front. I have metal gears in the tranny for some added beef. Everything else is stock G6 material.

My electronics are a basic esc, a 35t motor with a 13 tooth pinion, and a 2.4ghz receiver. More than enough for my mild abuse.

I have waterproofed my entire electric system. I put them in water tight boxes from Radio Shack. A little customizing goes a long way.

The G6 body is awesome, and I love it, but the real reason this rig is called TS is because of the body that’s going on it. A chopped and channeled Ford F150 body from a toy. Most of my work as gone into that body, and then when I finish the body, I’m shipping the whole rig to my good friend Chris @cmerwin27 (instagram) at @ruggedwheelersrc (instagram) to get a new cage put it in TS. Check him out for some sick custom metal work.

So, that is it so far on TS, and what lies ahead for her is some serious abuse. I need to get her ready for the very first G6 event we attend… Someday… In the future.

Hope you liked the very first blog! Any questions pleas ask. Any comments, leave them! Want to see something I have or something up close or anything RC, bring the questions on!!

Thank you all so very much!

Welcome!!

Welcome!! This is my blog spot for all things RC! Noob alert – RC means – remote control

A little about me; I am a father of 2 wonderful amazing kids, Chloe-Mae -11 and Gavin -9 I have a lovely wife, Sunny, of 16 years. I work for UPS and I am an active, avid, insane, lover of the RC world. I have been RCing for 25+ years. I have done or tried everything RC electric/nitro except for flying. I love wheels, so I’m all about ground RCing.

This blog is a place for me to talk about stuff going on in my RC community and to post pics, events, and anything to do with RC.

I am in love with Scale RC, though I am an avid supporter of all things RC. I am a huge fan of custom work and frankinrc’s. Cookie cutter RC’s are great for new people to the hobby, but it quickly gets saturated with an army of the same.

So I hope you enjoy this blog spot. I have an Instagram and youtube account under the same name.

“vermont_scale_rc”

Bare with me as I go through this account and change things around like the themes and widgets or whatever. Haha

A big shout out goes to my Instagram followers that said they would read a blog if I made one, and to everyone who supports me, encourages and inspire me to do more!! If it were not for them, I’d be really bored. Haha Thanks gang!!

Also, want to check some scale accessories that I sell, feel free to check out: vermontscalerc.bigcartel.com

Thank you all!
