Im in Northern CA. I wish I could come down to the shop every weekend I miss hanging out with those guys!

Here is another pic, thats all I have for now. Its getting a complete rebuild soon and if you can wait those pics will be up when I start that (hopefully this weekend)

I am running very minimal flex on my blackjack so I only did this to the rear.

Check out the nor cal comp videos in the video section. There are a few clips of this rig. I run a blue chevy C10 body on it.

thanks guys well i was at rcp on friday it was a blast, the performance was pretty good. i was talking with trevor with his black jack and he will help me along with brian @rcp to cut another skid to bring the front and rear links to the center. and possibly mount the front shocks and a greater angle.....i finished building the rc4wd rims with 11oz in each front 9oz in each rear and ill try that set up. then get working on the movement of the links see how much difference this will make.......your right the body is a losi grapler.....no i didnt go to mt baldy comp today it was probably cancelled from the rain and hopefully they will reschudle it. i realy want to get this black jack dialed in i can tell its an awsome chassis. i had to relearn how to crawl because it only has like 45* articulation....i have no vids of it yet...unless some one took some on friday @ rcp.....sorry for thoes which my rig fell onto.....it was so much fun!!!!! ill be there next friday again to tear it up just got to get her dialed in now thanks trevor

Do you like it with 45 degrees of flex? I know where I crawl 45 degrees would never cut it. I wont go over about 75 degrees on mine and find myself in situation were I want more lol

40 degrees here. You just have to set it up to carry the tire over the obstacle instead of over flexing. Much more predictable IMO. I love it
