Thanks Guys, I'll Start at R&L...Ideas as to what I should look for and classes size?
As always HT is a great resource for information...
I'd start with the 2.2 class, its the largest and fastest growing right now.
I would look for something thats easy to get parts for, both stock and
optional. In the end its up to you and how much $$$ you want to go?
Hope to see you on the rock pile soon.

I would stay away from integy, I have tried many of there products and been
about 2% happy with it. In a word cr_ _.

Jim...................23

Shawn..............DNF

Once again fun was had by all and sorry so late posting these results.
:thumbsup:

And thanks to everyone for being patient with my rig and it's thermal woes. I found out today even with my 1.9 and only one Hitec 645 servo it still thermals. So another new Castle Bec will be waiting for me at Rider's on Wed. to pick up. I'll see you guys next Sunday!

And Btw the 1.9 did pretty well. It did expectedly get hung up on stuff but all in all I would say it can get around about 80% of the course. I ended up adding about 6oz more under the servo tray to get some additional weight on the nose. I'll have to do some more experimenting with lines to run, but I think we might be able to set up a short 1.9 course with the existing layout

I'm in.:thumbsup:

I'm in.:thumbsup:



Sorry I will not be able to make it today. I have marital duties to attend to. I will try and make it out this week if anybody is up to the challenge!!LOL
:thumbsup:

The crew was a little thin today. There were only three of us that showed up today. Must have been the race that was on today or something. We did two new runs today. They were the (who's your daddy) and (D.O.A.) aka dead on arrival runs.


Who's your daddy run

Schane...........................22points

Erv.................................127points

Bob................................142points


D.O.A run

Schane...........................24points

Erv.................................58points

If anyone is interested in joining us, Erv and myself are going to do some crawling, this coming Wednesday night around 6:00pm at bfg.


I also found this radio. 2.4Ghz 3 channel with a receiver, for $79.99, I am not sure how good it is but I do know Futaba wants $200 for the same thing. http://rc4wdstore.com/product_info.php?products_id=937

Nothing serious, no score keeping. Probably set up a few courses to run on.

Someone give John money and told him to give it to me.... What is this money for??? And who did it come from????

That envelop was from me. You were suppose to give it to Bob I believe. He was the gentleman I bought the Helos bodies from at our first club meeting. I wasn't going to be able to be there on Sunday and I wanted to keep my promise. My appologies for not reminding you.

My apologies also to Bob. I am sorry I wasn't there to give it to you in person. Sunday was my wife's and mother's birthday. Talk about not having a couch to sleep on if I messed that one up. :)

Sorry, I was busy and didn't get enough information. Partly my fault. I think it might have been Dave M. that the bodies were purchased from. I usually see Bob on Wednesdays, I will check with him for sure, or he might check the thread and chime in.

Its looking good Larry. When will it be done so you can come out and play?

Hey Andy, are you going to bring your tuber out on Wed???

I BEEN THINKING.

Hey Andy, are you going to bring your tuber out on Wed???

We'll see if the Bec I ordered on Monday of last week arrives today or not. I've been itching to run it again. According to the tracking # I got it's been sitting in Groveprot, OH since the 11th and it was shipped from Chicago. I have once again lost all respect for Tower Hobbies and will not be ordering from them again any time soon. I could have taken a row boat across the lake and back in this amount of time. GRRRR!

I have a stack of score sheets for you as well.


I BEEN THINKING.

Then his transformation to the Dark side will be complete! Muhahaha!

Drive'in arround in real life there is no easy button,....I still dont need one. HA

I just bought a real life time project rock crawler, so i dont know how much more money i'm gonna stick into this TOY rock crawler.......I'll just play with what i got,....If life came with an easy button, i'd have a million dollars.:thumbsup:

still and will always be one on the original ones, i mean Digless ones......

I have one to. It's been to expensive to play with lately, so it just sits under it's cover. These pics were taken down in Indiana with the club that my wife and I belong to. After my wife and I got it all dirty I put my son to work cleaning it. He thought that was pretty cool as long as he got to play with the pressure washer.


A few of the guys in my full size club have dig units in there 1.1. Very cool to watch a full size with a dig. I always wanted to put one in my jeep but could never talk myself into parting with the $3000.00 to do it.

who is all going out there tonight and how much is it to play

on my way out there now

I guess i'm gonna try to get out there tonight if its still on??

I will be there shortly

Wish I was there with you guys. Hope you have fun.

Had a blast. Found out the servo plate mounts on a TLT axle are rated for a wee less than 350oz of torque. But with some 16ga stainless, a drill press and the BFH I now have a bulletproof mount. Pics in the morning, I'm off to bed.

Pics as promised

Het Erv according to TCS's website they have Chisels in stock. They must really like them too, they are $5 more per pair than every other decent 2.2 tire and almost $10 more than the HB Rovers I have

They must cost more because they are better right?:tongue:

Is there any body that is crawling tonight

They must cost more because they are better right?:tongue:

That must be it, my bad!:thumbsup:

Had some time to crawl last night and the course is great guys. I ran my tcs x-trail and it was a blast. I even managed to crawl through the concrete pipe with a very tall body. Scratched it all to h#$l but still funny to watch. Seemed to be a lot of loose rocks in crucial areas but I guess that is what makes it a challenge right?

well fellas after some thought im gonna sell/trade off the super for a 2.2 so if anyone knows someone lookin for a beast let me know...

Thinking about putting a indoor rock crawler spot at the X-treme Cellar track in Bay City anyone interested if we do... want feedback ...Thanks.

Keith - There is a way to convert your beast into a 2.2 rig. Integy makes a narrowed axle tube set that will shrink it to comply with the 2.2 rules. Then all you would need to do it eliminate the rear steer and get shorter 4 link bars, and pick up some wheel and tires.

Come on XXX, this is crawling be creative. Morph that bad boy

gonna go play tonight. Any body else wanna play.

larry

Andys idea is prefect for you 3X, You would have the only twin motor 2.2
on the pile. Hell you might even stand a chance out there. just a little more
cheese for a pimp daddy such as your self.
My kid found this pic of you and Beef and did a little paint touch up fore it. lmao
