Thanks for the reminder. Anxiously waiting.

Truck was doing some odd stuff on sidehills and some drop downs. Swapped out the rear springs for silver MRC's. much better. Fronts are sill silver MRC's.



Hangar 9 arm already bent after 10 or so packs.


Carter Fab & Machine wheel nuts. These ain't gunna come loose by theirselves. Run them on 2.2 scalers with good results.

I have come to like the DE Racing wheels. Especially with some hub support. I have sold off all my comp beadlocks.

If you add a chassis cross brace where the front shocks mount, is it going to interfere with the electronics tray under full compression?
Can't tell from your pics.

If i moved my crossbrace forward it would bind for sure. But I could always move my elecs around.
This is just how I have mine setup. There are several ways to do it so do just look at mine. Lol

So is that pic of 4.19 lbs going to be your final RTR weight or are you still messin' around with KW and such? Can we get a pic of your CG balance point?

Is there anyway you could bend an offset in that H9 arm so the rod end could bolt up on the backside and be more directly under the splines? Might cut down the stress on the arm.

I have the full VP base knuckle weights on each front now. It's too much weight. Waiting on some weight holders or I will chop the VP in half.

I don't think I could put the drag link on the inside of the servo arm. I think it hits the servo. I plan on putting the GH arm back on.

Had a great time at Crawlapalooza #7. Thanks to sponsors, organizers, judges and staff.
Courses were fun. A couple mental mistakes on the last course threw my scores for a loop.
I ended up 3rd for the day and took home some sweet cash money in my pocket. Truck was working awesome! I did a little suspension tuning on it the night before and it seemed to make a big difference.

Thanks. I help setup the 2.2s courses, judged all day and blitzed through them back to back. Good times!

Knowing the Disney rocks and the way a shafty drivetrain pulls, I opted for the rover tire setup. CI 5.25" foams. Vanquish base knuckle weight on each front. Truck felt good.

A Crawlapalooza picture surfaced from RolandRockShop

[Szczerba]

A couple videos from RolandRockShop at Crawlapalooza #7. Rig was working good but the driver still needs some work. I ran rovers, which I have not ran in months on this rig. I was trying to slow crawl them like my Voodoo's.

I think I need to go up a couple tooth counts on the pinions for those rollovers. Or don't roll over.
