I ran this truck yesterday. I need to get the COG down, looks like the transfercase is going away.

Well at least it looked good turtleing away

How did you end up on your lid at the bottem of the big climb??? I saw you towards the top, walked away to check the other team and when I came back you were all the way at the bottem doing the turtle thing
Instead of taking out the tc. maybe just paint it green?

I think I hit the gas on the uphill and it turned and rolled back.
Also, I think my truck is the narrowest truck in TTR...lol....and high COG stinks.

Awesome!

We had to make a run to toy-r-us last night for Ashley, after watching the team run yesterday she's going to do an mrc based jeep.

I need to get a few more clod bodies - I'm thinking I need a suburban now

Great job on the build, it look's like a nice little unit.
The Inca gold turned out pretty nice, it looks a lot more yellow then I though it would. How many coats of clear did you put on?

Thanks BIGBRONCO! I plan on brazing up some tube shock mounts, that should help it.
