Despite the driver.....
General Rizzo might make more TiBJ's. Be on the look out!

What radio are you planning on running with the VF dig set up?

My trusty old JR.
Not sure on how to set it up yet.
Might put in a toggle switch if needed.
However, I'm shopping Nomadios and Spektrums

I got a Sensor and would definately recomend it. It's nice having all the programmable buttons right at your thumb.
Only problems I've had with it is the screen broke off, my fault, I hit the door with it coming inside, and the wheel centering mechanism has broke a couple of times, although I temp fix it whenever it breaks.

I've got a React and have bought over 15 transceivers for various rigs...

I have killed 11 of the 15 and at $89.99 each it gets expensive

I have since replaced the Nomadio 4 channel receivers with Spektrum 3 channels with no problems but, what is the reason having a 4 channel radio that only works with 3 channel receivers?

I really wish Nomadio would fix the receiver problems

I just got the Spektrum DX3R radio and love it!

The Futaba 4PK 4 channel looks cool too

No more fun and games for me, all business from now on...

I'm even cutting the back of my hair short to match the front!

No more business in the front and party in the back for me

BD, how were you killing your transcievers? I have four and only a problem with one, the pins coming loose in one of the servo ports from swtching it so much!
I do want to try some Spektrum's though for one's that don't need 4 channels.

They all start glitching and coming un-binded...

I have sent 10 back and they said they were burnt up????

Not a single problem with the Specktrums

Any of the Spektrums, or a certain model? Good to know, I'll have to get a couple for touring cars etc.

I bought a new spektrum dx3 with a sr3001 receiver really cheap and love it, plus I have the option to mod it for rear steer or dig.

Look forward to seeing it in comp's.

Anyone looking for a short shock for their BJ chassis, I have found one that works well. Not sure if anyone else is using them or not.
You don't need fuel tubing on the inside or outside. They are just the right length. They are one piece with no shock caps. Another nice part about these is that if you want to run them in a standard, non droop configuration, they are still short enough to get you a really low stance. They have a dual (two piece) piston, much like the old RPM design that allows predictable and smooth dampening.
Associated Aluminum threaded shocks
PartTXC9007
Got them at Finish Line RC

Ready for VF DIG install.

The TiBlackJack is on there too.

The VF Dig unit is really well thought out and made. Each piece is quality.
I can't wait to get it in there and start some Diggin!

I also just through on a brand new set of Hammers with the new "Soft" Proline Memory Foams. They seem to work best with M3 compound tires, as they are slightly more firm and react a little quicker than many others.
Will get more pics later.

Damn that VF Dig looks so cool. I still cannot wait for mine. Soon I hope?!

You really have a awesome crawler there. I think I have re-read this thread about 23 times. Maybe it is jealousy, or maybe it is out of spite?! Either way you have the tools to "Get er' done", lol.

Hey Dirk, you live in the Springs? Black forest is about 10 minutes away from me. You going to be in Thornton this weekend? I like to ask questions. lol
