Just got this ad boy on sat, i have been out of the crawling thing for a while, luckily one of my buddys got me back in. This thing crawls great out of the box, so far the only mods are: custom foams, stick on wheel weights, heated springs to shrink them(so they would be the perfect length when i did the spacer mod, and i know that it changes the spring coefficient but so far it is not noticeable) and put the rubber shock spacer in the shock to limit travel, have about 2.5in of clearance now. Here are some videos as well, all videos are before the shock mods so it is sitting a little high in those videos. hope the videos work. It is entering its first comp on sat so hopefully it will do well. http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...t=100_5857.flv http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...t=100_5886.flv |

Good Luck, Lucky Monkey. If this is your first BPRCA comp, beware, it's the Winter Series Finals and everyone who's been to a BPRCA FINALS know to pull their heuvos from thier wifes purse, 'cause you'll need them. See you on Saturday, con un platano. |

| Updated Pics
Some Updated pics. Since i got my ass kicked on course one of the comp (just on the hill climb, Still finished 13th overall so not too bad) so i narrowed the rock lizards, hacked off about an inch of the bed and glued it back on (hopefully it is hard to see the glue lines, look at the before and after and where the bed is compare to rear wheels) also stripped off all the green and fixed my damn paint so it is really flat black. once i get my split pack in the mail it will be ready for the next comp. and i have gone back to the comp site and i kicked that hill climbs ass and even finished one of the pro courses. cant wait tll the next comp. Love to hear your opinions |

Here are the pics of the body off, i think you guys may be confused when i took the pics of the flat black it was really late so those are all poser shots, all my batterys where dead so it has no battery in those shots, the other pic i put up you can see the battery on the top of the three link, soon to get a split pack tho for the front axle, pics as soon as i get that.. |
