Damn Cookie, it looks better in these pictures than the ones you sent to my phone. That's it your painting the shell I pick up next weekend in the cities. We'll be ready for some crawling in Bismark come January 12th if any one else in the area is able to make it to Wheels Wings N Hobbies for some crawling and indoor flying.

Thanks for the good comments guys. This is my first experience with crawling and it is a blast. The crawling I got to do last saturday was the first time the truck had been on rocks. I could not believe how it could crawl just about anything in its path. I have done the stage 2 setup on it and it seems to be very capable. However I did not have anyone else there to compare it to. I can't wait for the comp in January, then I will learn alot about my setup and what I need to do from there.

I like your indorr setup! The strips of used carpet are pure genius and pretty cheap I bet. VERY nice paint ! I used to paint real fancy bodies for the 1/10 pan car but with the 1/8 gas buggy and the AX-10 crawler boddies are only a temperary thing ! Save the pictures and look at them again in 2 months........

Tony, I figured it out. Your body is farther ahead on the chassis than mine. I'll grab a new one this weekend and see if I can find us some different spurs to try out also. Another set of softer outer springs if I can find some. Jason |

hey im Marc from Minot ND. I hope you guys can make it to our next comp in Bis. Hopefully it's a better turn out this time .We only had 3 last month. There are more trucks popping up all the time. Most of them are axials. Bobby and I have wks too, but we've been running the axials now. Might get the wk running for the next comp well see.

Mark, if the next comp that you are talking about is Jan 12, then count me in. Myself and Jason from Alexandria MN will be coming up on the 12th. I was told that was when the next comp would be. Hope that is the right date.

looks good. Crawling is good fun. I race alot of 1/8 buggy and the crawlers are a good b/s, hangout, and have fun sport. buggys are pure competition. The crawlers are a nice addition to my hobby |
