www.RCSPARKS.com - NEW WEBSITE!! CHECK IT OUT !! A quick look at a brief run of Teds’ Losi MRC, Converted to a GC2 Chassis. I was just chatting to the camera as I watched this little machine in action. Quite remarkable for the size. Can you believe thay ACTUALLY get smaller than this?

Emergency welding technique using 3 car batteries wired in series. Knowing how to do this may just save you from haivng to leave your rig out in the middle of nowhere. If you’re going to go wheeling you need to know how to save your own butt. AAA doesn’t respond if your 20 miles off the beaten path. This is the second video that I’ve done on this subject. The first video showed me doing an acutal trail repair, but wasn’t very detailed. I had so many responses from people that didn’t understand what was going on, or for some reason thought it wasn’t possible, that I decided to do a video in a controlled environment and show exactly what welding with car batteries is all about.
