Down in New Braunfels for a little last of the year vacation and crawling on good rocks. Posted up some vids on YouTube but only have my phone right now and don't know how to copy a link from there right now. You can search username powerranger9403 for the vids. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsXRQ35HjWk&sns=em Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose Last edited by CarterFab; 12-31-2011 at 12:51 PM. |

I'm loving my full wrap aluminum Clay! Caught some attention from the 1:1's down in the palm desert, for christmas. The more I beat on them the cooler they look BTW, that Copperhead Roof is off the hook! Did you look at the Birthday Bash G6 thread or blogs on axial? J-Fab wrapped his panels in copper. Looked pretty sick. | |

It's just a piece of aluminum I machined to look like a 1:1 hydraulic ram. I'm gonna redo it now that I have my servo chassis mounted. Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose |

My favorite new mod, maybe of all. Hooked the winch to the front axle to suck front end down. And with the CMS, the winch rope never touches the steering. Was gonna do 4ws but don't think I will anymore. So much fun to use and it makes climbs that were hard to even get started on before. Such a scale nerd. Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose |

Cool video Clay! I grew up in that area and yeah, those rocks down there have massive amounts of traction!

Thanks Jeremy. Gonna try out some new shoes this weekend. 2.2/3.0 boggers on DE Racing wheels. Only thing is there will not be any weight in them so they maybe just for higher speed. Stuffed them with CI DD foams (med/med). The R35 ripsaws work great just need a little more height. Hopefully RC4WD will solve that with the new compound. Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose |

De racing wheels. They are short course wheels. Had crawler innovations do a set of ripsaws on white wheels also. Really cool and great for speed Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose |

| Re: "Southern Comfort" by CFM: KOH rebuild
Started redoing the truck to go with a more KOH style. Wanted to still use the stock chassis as much as possible to show wonderful of a platform it is. Whacked off the back of the cage but wanted to do a weld in version instead of the normal rod end bar mod. Modified the rear back crossmember that the side panels bolt to with a steel top bar. It bolts back into the plastic crossmember. Then I welded up the rear of the new cage. Still have some cleanup to do and haven't built the top section or windshield area yet. Also made a roof panel that holds 4 lights in the rear. Hoping to run 2 red, a yellow, and a blue. Saw that setup on Robby Gordon's KOH truck. The blue light flashed. If anyone knows how to modify the stock 4 light string from axial to this layout, please chime in. Or colored lenses would be fine. Will be putting on some shiny new skins as well. |

More goodies. Got my Holmes Crawlmaster 13t. Went by Crawler InNovations to pick my son up after school and found some of the new style foams and a Tekin FXR Pro. And placed an order with Norm @ Team 3six for some more scale goodness. Oh yeah and a large order from RC4wd that's gonna make people step their game up. Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose |
