I wish someone paid me in gum.

No silly...it was only 5.75 lbs before shaking the dust out.

Thanks Bryce. I wasn't aware that DeBead pays their drivers in gum...cuz if I had, I mighta tried for a spot on the team. I thought you paid em in purple Skittles

[Frankenwheely]

Naw we pay in Gin and tonic and side burn trimmers.
Remember if you need someone to film that rig... I work for parts and or beer.

I know. I even beat him with a borrowed rig with zero run time.

Just razing you bro. You can't drive I can't read or give help, the perfect combo.

Ur build list is missing something tho.... Easy fix without a hole needed in it. :thumbup:

Thanks for the good word, crawler-dad was easy to work with.

That mf'r sat in your garage for a month. I apologize if my higher priorities interrupted your opportunity for a decent photoshoot. I will try and rearrange my schedule to fit yours from now on.

I hope your axle falls out again.

Looks uuuuummmmmm........similiar to what I got. I started my rebuild yesterday to get ready for the next comp. These things are fun (when they stay together).

Bryce,
I would happily share some big league chew with you.

This was the only line I understood in your post but...you're welcome...I think.

SOMEBODY needs some hugs. Paystin gives good hugs & if you're extra special...he'll pick you up & twirl you around.

I've been twirled around by Paystin...
I felt like Peter Pan while he twirled me around in the air.

It was the happiest moment of my life.

Sweet. I like purple. Like JD's nipples.

A couple of care packages rolled in today.



1st off...HUGE thanks to Eddie over at Crawler Innovations for the "love." He sent me over a selection of Double Deuce closed cell foams since I'm still rockin his old style DD's. I have a few different sizes & densities along with some tuning rings & such.

Also from C.I. is a set of Robinson Racing trans gears to beef her up some. I've gone back & forth between the plastic for weight savings & RR for reliability but have settled on the RR filled trans. I'm not shooting for a specific weight & would rather have some peace of mind then failure on course.

I also got Eddie's 32 pitch Maxx Shaft Upgrade Kit after dropping my WB's on course...TWICE. His outputs are plain disco. Stout would be an understatement. He threw a few different Kimbrough spurs in the mix so that I can play with my ratios a bit. Gotta stick with JRH's motto: "Volt up & gear down."

Speaking of Holmes...I also got a little love from him in the way of this VERY fine Crawlmaster Pro in 13t. I coulda had another fancy custom motor made but really...I LOVE this motor & wasn't looking for fancy. Just smooth, quick & reliable & that's what his Crawlmasters are.

I also got another BRSL & a Castle Micro Sidewinder. Not sure which I'll go with yet but after running the BRSL's in my pro rig...I gotta say they work killer. The FXR will be coming out regardless. I'm just not a fan of the low end control or the lack there of & the drag brake isn't the best either. It's an OK ESC but I find the BRSL & Castle products to suit my style a little better.

Got an assortment of Losi Mini-T springs in for fine tuning since I've "LOANED" every extra I've had out. Bastages.

A bag-o-Traxxas Revo aluminum hollow balls are in that pile as are some RCBros & CW Crawlers servo mounts. Also from Cal at CW Crawlers is a backup set of aluminum steering arms in case the 7950 proves too much for the carbon fiber version which I doubt will be the case but I tend to break things. Not like Paystin does. I don't think ANYONE breaks things like Paystin but he gives good hugs so its OK

I have a few more thangs coming in but will start the tear down tonight & the ground up rebuild will begin soon.

[Frankenwheely]

Damn yous! More love and more shwag. Can't wait to see the new finished project.

[TSK]

The battle for reliability is on you Purple Nerpled mountain man!

[JeremyH]

Looks good!

But, you've got a screw loose (literally, we already knew several were loose figuratively):

[HARDKNOCKZ]

Um....I knew that. I loosened em to see if YOU knew that. Yeah...that's the ticket

I forgot to mention that I gotta snazzy Hank Hill Kustoms piece while at the WCS. I'll post up pics in a bit but "quality" isn't a word that covers this piece.

Thanks for the cool, handmade piece Jeremy. Looking forward to putting it to use.

J.D.

[JeremyH]

Thanks for the kind words, but I know it's nothing fancy. Hopefully it holds up. If not, don't forget my warranty policy...."if it breaks, throw it in the trash and buy something else".
