My pro comp rig journey...

[Mr. crawl]

its the first built pic on the first page,that pic should be on KCs site showin of the PD chassis full potential.

which reminds me,ordered 2 pairs of BEEF TOOBS(lol already preped the rear housing),VP rear 4 link plate silver(the damn pic was a black one was in a hurry and got a damn silver one),VP BLACK front battery/4 link plate,1 new axle housing.

also have some 1/4" delrin rod,revo rod ends and a couple LiPos comin too.

bout to order up some knuckles saw someone have a problem with the tire catching on the VP Zero ackermann should i grab the 8* or since i plan on gettin the VP DH pro comp II i should just get the Zeros?

[Mr. crawl]

K so after seeing a mip cvd explodered on someone's rig I thought I might try 3 racing cvds

What is wrong with the silver VP Plates ? LOL ! I think the reason he had a problem with the Zero ackermanns was the position on the shock also servo was not aligned with the steering link. I could be wrong. they where not producing the 8* C's when I was buying parts. I think I was about 2 weeks ahead of there release, Damn it. I would buy the VP's. I think they build the highest quality shiet.

[Mr. crawl]

K well I ordered the Zeros,and silver just don't fit the color scheme.

Gonna be blue,black with the white topper
Here's a pic of the local poison dart frog


So as you see no silver on it lol,gonna dye the links blue and the cross bars black then order up some kustom vinyl graphics to look like the frogs skin.

[DRV KRAWLER]

Can't wait to see it. I have been thinking on my next build doing a dye job. Don't worry the silver will look sweet on it.

[Mr. crawl]

Yeah I can't wait either,lookin like its gonna be built way before I had originally thought.

Can't wait to get the VP gear,looks like they put out some quality parts so I'm not too bummed.

I just can't wait to take it to the falls in Douglas county,tons of awesome spots up there and unpopulated trails early morn weekends and just about dead during the week.

It would be sweet to have a comp where the course lead to the base of Watson falls(272' waterfall),plan on doin allot of camping out at tokatee falls this spring/summer maybe some fellow orgonians would wanna join?

[DRV KRAWLER]

Sounds amazing, I maybe heading through this summer going to Florence. If I do, I will let you know. We will get the "PD's" and give them Hell. If I can get mine together. The news say's the Economy is growing, not in my wallet.

[Mr. crawl]

Hells yeah man!

[Mr. crawl]

Heres a shot of Watson falls,the trail zig zags all the way up to literally the base of the fall its awesome.

[DRV KRAWLER]

Man that is beautiful ! I love where I live also, Trees, Mountains and Killer Rocks. The only thing missing in this picture is a DHL package.

[Mr. crawl]

lol funny. im really ansy,wanna put the chassis together already! wish i could track it at least.

[DRV KRAWLER]

I thought you got a Tracking #

[Mr. crawl]

no,KC said he was gonna get it to me today.

[DRV KRAWLER]

It is currently 10:07:56 AM on 06/04/2011 (China Standard Time). Well I am sure he will get it to you. He is amazing on customer service. Everytime I order something, I check my tracking # constantly some kind of compulsive disorder I think.

[KC_JoNeS]

Mr. Crawl...I am super sorry. The tracking number is on my work comp. I am home watching my daughter right now.
I will try to get into the office today or tomorrow to retrieve it. But, seriously, that package should show up anyday. They are pretty fast.

Casey

[Mr. crawl]

its all good KC,hopefully it will get here tomorrow.

[Mr. crawl]

Good choice on the FXR. I am a new customer of theirs. As for motors, get yourself either Brood, HH, or Tekin 35T handwound. Dont bother with anything else. The 35T is the perfect motor, and combine it with a 16 tooth pinion.
