Taking a stand

The Year of the Wolf – Taking a Stand
We all have some kind of point in us that makes us finally have to take a stand on something we believe in, or pushes our backs against the wall, and we are forced to take a stand. Too many people are worried about their brand, or what others think, or are in fear of using their voice…. 
What makes us so afraid to stand up for the not so popular choice? Why should our belief in something be put to the test? Why do you feel like your stand doesn’t matter?? 
The masses are why. The sheep have a fear of their own; independence. So, they stay away from that scary mind-set, and they ridicule those that see something different than the rest. They hide behind the masses and cast stones, and hate with NO real substance other than fear and jealousy. Envy brings out the worst in everyone, even the so called best get bit by the envy beast. 
When you stand alone, it can be scary, it can be lonely when you look around and see you have no friends. This is where the change, the better part of your life is going to begin..
Not all is bleak as it is implied when you stand alone. This is where I’ve personally found a new lease on life, a free cleanse of dead weight and stress. When you stand up for what you believe in, you show a side of you that others can respect, and appreciate. So, then you will see some will stand with you, for you, and for your belief’s because they believe in you, and your reasons. You also can see the BS in people now, it gives you clarity and discernment. That to me is the best lens to have, keeps life simple.
Standing alone is NOT a punishment, rather it’s freedom, it’s a place to put your foot down, build your platform, and let everyone know who you are and where you stand! Yes, you may lose friends, but were they your friends to begin with? Yes, you may get judged, but don’t you get judged on a daily basis by just being you? What’s more important to you; what the masses think of you, or breaking free of the norm, and becoming the person you are meant to be? 
The choice is simple….

Mega – 6 Build-A-Blog #2

Last I left you, I was starting on my Shred The Ledge purpose built Mega-6, my version of what I would build to compete at the toughest course in the US. This build is stealing most of it’s life from my old build called Dos Notcher. No new name for this build yet, but I’m sure I’ll have one soon. 

 I wanted better steering for this big pile of metal and rubber, so naturally I went with the already in place XRMOD axle. Inside this gem lies locked OD gears, TJRC axle tubes, Vanquish Chubs and Knuckles, and RPM rod ends to complete the power portion of this axle labed by my friend Ben as “Currie Killers”.

Steering is done, and over. A high torque servo will get the call to move the Pitbull Madbeasts or Rock Beasts around. With the front basically all done, I turned my attention to the shocks. I wanted something that was easy to use, and predictable, and have a lot of tuneability. I dialed up Boom Racing and ordered three sets of the Boomerang Type I shocks in 100mm.  I enjoy these shocks a lot, and look forward to running them on my Mega-6.

The next thing I work on will be the transmission. I have a few idea’s of what I want, and how to achieve it, but I won’t bore you with the details of that. Just know, if you want a HD Machine, you will want HD power, and parts, so only the strongest will work for this build. I will keep you updated on that. 

That’s it for this Build A Blog series, short and sweet. A lot of ADHD people are saying, phew, glad that’s over! Haha Try writing it!! 

Check back soon!
