thanks:dude:

Just got home from crawling in Ceder Springs tonight. As always it was a lot of fun. They would like to have a comp with us at there location September 12th at 11am.

If that sounds good to everyone let me know so I can tell them if we are going to make it up there or not.

I will not be at Thursday's fun night. I am working 12 hour shifts 2:30-2:30. I am physically trashed. Plus I haven't had time to repair my 2.2 C-hub.

Dave, I will bring the stuff with me Saturday.

Jim

P.S. I have already purchased my ticket. I will check on Sept 12th.

Just to remind everyone, this Sat at 11am is the Ceder comp. Sun will be the alternate day encase of rain. The event will be held outside, so you will need to bring your own chair plus food and drink. Or if you want you can bring your own beer.

I would like to get a show of hands for who is going. (((((((Please post a response)))))))

This event will be good practice for the Detroit comp. The course is very challenging with large rock and deep holes.

I'm looking forward to it. going to be a good time.

x2, can't be there if I don't know where it is!

This will be a open comp, anyone that wants to come are welcome to the party. This course is very fun. If you come you will not be disappointed.

The address is
2156 17 mile road NE
Cedar Springs MI 49319

Go North on 131 and get off at the Cedar Springs exit and take a left at the stop light. Go strait through the 4 way stop a few miles down the road. once through the 4 way stop, 2156 is about 1 hundred yards down on the left.

Has anyone used slash front shocks on an x-trail. I have been running full droop and would like some up travel.

thx
J

I don't have either, but I ran a droop setup on my last rig so I'll try and help you out if I understand your question.

Your want more uptravel (compression) in your shocks? About the only way I can think of doing that would be using shorter shock shafts, but that would decrease your overall shock length at full extension as well. Unless you longer shock bodies (Slash rears) and raised the front shock mounts.

I have been running the stock axial shocks that are long. I am thinking that by switching to a shorter shock like the slash fronts that I won't have to limit the travel or anything. Make sense??

thanks
J

Will there be a comp this Saturday the 12th? There is a big off road race at Battlefront this Saturday. I bought a used Losi Comp Crawler and want to try it out. I ordered a set of Leopard tires and hope they get here by Friday.

I was going to post that it might not be a bad idea to reschedule the comp that was to be at BFG on the 12th.

We are looking at over 200 entries and 100 actual racers. Space inside and outside is going to be at a premium.

Sounds like the comp up North could/should take place instead of the comp here at BFG.

never mind

Ok, I think I got the directions now since they've been posted three times :tongue:

Bob, what time does the free comp start on Sunday? The weather looks promising so I'll probably be making the trip over for some much needed wheel time before the state comp.

10:00 am start we will be outside by 9:00 ish

I will be down at bfg today around 5pm if anyone wants to run some courses.

I will be out at the cedar comp location around 9:30am if people want to come out and do some pre-comp practice.

Comp will start at 11:00 am

Bob - I'm not going to be able to make the free comp your having. I blew up a battery and motor today. Those HH Pullers can't get here fast enough!

Hope everyone had some fun on the rocks today. I got beat up pretty good, but had a great time, lots of laughs, thanks for all that showed up.

Had a great time today guys, your rock pile is BADASS!:thumbsup:

I am looking to buy a Spectrum DX 3 mostly just the transmitter.
Lets make a deal thanks.

ERV:thumbsup:

I'm in anyone else.:thumbsup:

I'll be there around 5:30 ish. I got those new motors Erv, and wholly crap! I also bought a couple 30C 2200 lipos. Probably not as much crazy wheel speed as Schane's but it has a lot, and a ton of power.

I will be there around 5pm

ERV panther has the leopard in stock & 400 foams
