Dirt pile would be nice for a backside landing, instead of a flat track. I was hoping to have the savage back for this.

Randy did'nt think the back jump would work, so we need a skate board type quarter pipe that will launch them straight up and over the measure pole. Thought maybe we'd do it on the front straight under the lights......

get a 4x8 sheet of treated plywood ( 3/8")
6 treated 2x4x8'
and i will build it next week, i have screws and eveything else needed

LOL, no....the perfect truck!! because in not useing my buggy or truggy

We should have the high jump comp. by class. Truggy, Buggy, 4x4sc, 2wdsc and open class.

A tmaxx is not perfect. Just expendable.

got rid of that a while back

I really don't see a lot of people putting their race rigs on a high jump, maybe a long jump or a target jump, but not a high jump.

only taking 3 sets with me. hopefully one of the 3 will work

Five sets of buggy tires and three sets of truggy tires, that's all I've got. I wasn't as ambitious as GNS I only cleaned the ones on my buggy and truggy. Got the steel center diff in the e buggy and turned down my break expodential curve a bunch, hopefully that will save the center diff spur gear........LOL!

Ordered a few new things for the 5b today.
30.5 big bore kit
Race carb
dominator pipe
juicer kit
steel servo gears
2 sets of rear tires and wheels

I guess that's enough for tonight!

messed with my break bias as well, last club race the where sticking on the truggy. vented discs not the way to go IMO.

I actually like the vented disc's, you just have to adjust them differently and there a little more touchy to adjustments on the fly.

i see that, to touchy for me. seems like you cant find the sweet spot, plus they are 5mm larger in diameter than the solid stockers so new pads are also required if you want even wear, old ones are broke in for smaller discs.

The larger diamater and the material really give you a much more consistant break control, but they are a little touchey to adjust, but once adjusted they are much more consistant, oh yea, don't forget to use the break return springs, a must have for these breaks.

Why did you want that buggy if you are putting more into it than a new 5sc would cost? You should have bought a roller! Would have been cheaper.

Tipp, Did you order a set of badlands for the 5b?

same here, been running the vented brake disc for 2 seasons with no problems..
but have always had the return springs installed.. takes a lot less servo power to have good braking!

now im confused! if you put the springs between the pads to seperate after breaking, that would cause more strain on servo while breaking....no?

By the looks of things, I'm gonna have to try and take a little nap during our 3 hour ride to G.R., since I'm likely gonna be working on my stuff all night!

Updates guys keep us up to date.

Found a truck full of toys...lol!

Good luck guys, might see you later tonight if you are hanging around. :)

Ok. So weather didn't cooperate so well t the race. Total downpour after the first heat race. Still had a great time with all the compadreas. Now it's time to dry everything out.

down pour is a under statement...LOL, but still fun,,,,and wet!

So only one qualifying heat and back home?
That would make me so mad, get all hyped up to race and rain stops it!
I think I would have rolled around the trac on my belly in the mud just to get something dirty.
