Chris don't get too envoled in this build or Guido might meet his match. I forgot about this rig. Needs more mud.

| With the Rok Lox and Axial beadlock wheels it is 10 1/4". Maybe wider if I have time to steal the Super 300's out of Guido. I think Guido will be ok, Pepe is too much of a beater to ever make really nice. It'll get more mud on Friday, a whole lot more. |

| Pepe was designed to be a cheater scaler from day one. A chassis mounted servo is not worth the steering loss. You didn't notice the one on top of the rear axle? |

Based on the rules for this event I figure Pepe will score like this: Scale points- Max points -15 or +15 -Plastic bumpers +2 (max amount of +4) -2 -Metal rock sliders -2 -2 -Plastic rock sliders +2 "-Hard body -4 (must have minimum of full cab, including hood and front quarter panels) -4 max regardless of full bed or not (metal cab is also included in this points deduction following same rules of hardbody)" -Lexan body 0 -Scale accessories -1 (max of -5) -5 (fire extinguisher, hi-lift, toolbox, driver, snorkel) -Working lights -2 (must have front and rear) -Scale winch -2 -2 -Tube bed -3 (must have metal tubing) -3 -Tube bed +3 (plastic tubing) -Tube roll cage -3 (must have metal tubing) -3 -Tube roll cage +3 (plastic tubing) -Full interior -4 -4 -Lexan interior -2 -Plus points for plastic -Minus points for metal Pepe Total = -21 Since the max is -15 there is no need for lights or chassis mounted servo. | |

I love the fact that your "cheater" rig is still caged out and full of tube |

I thought about Rock Beasts but they are so wide I would lose steering as I do with those Chisels. Right on. | ||

| I know. But I comped with those wheels for a long time and never had any issues. The only thing different about TTC will be the truck pull. You really think it'll be a problem? Maybe I can do some testing on Friday with my wagon. Plus I can always borrow Guido's wheels. |
