Hey I met you at HHQ last thursday and got to see your rig in person. Very nice, love the air shocks. I was in there talking to Derrick and picked up some parts for my comp build. Should have it done tomorrow minus the r2 dig servo. If I can come up on a servo and a 3 chanel radio by this weekend I'll be there to comp, otherwise I am going to try to get over there to watch on Sunday. Is derrick on this site? I need some of the HHQ stickers. |

That would be awesome. That's the last thing I need to upgrade. I'm running the stock wheelyking radio and receiver since it is the only one I have laying around. But it works for a 2 channel. I'll let you know for sure if I can make it.

| i ran at the 2 day comp this weekend and on saturday i held 2nd place all day until my front wheel fell off and on to a gate and on sunday i place a 3rd place finish for the day they dont have the total results for the overall weekend finish yet but they did give out the first place overall prize which was a nice set of vanquish beadlocks all in all it was a great weekend and everyone that entered got prizes in the sunday raffle all of the entry money goes to prizes which makes it nice seeing as they were giving out scale chassis, wheels, tires, foams, bodies, dig units, etc etc kinda nice when everyone walks away with something till next time......P III oh yea the 10t pullmaster is a beast with a light and low rig i was able to power up and over stuff the tall trucks were having problems with yet low enough to sidehill stuff they could not...great times
