Last night was a long night. Finally shut down the shop just after 2am. Howard came over last night and helped me make a ton of progress. I didn't take any pictures until the end of the night though. I'll be running a rear RC4WD winch which will bolt right onto that rear plate that has the fairlead. It is already drilled and ready to bolt everything on. Proline fuel cell is thrown in there for a scale point as well. Had to cut down a stock Wraith hood quite a bit to make it fit the slightly narrower width of the chassis. The dash is bolted in place. I didn't do any finishing on it, just as it came of the printer. Based on a recommendation by MORE, I redrilled the VP mounts and raised the light bar up tight against the shroud. |

A rear electronics tray drops down between the shock towers and creates a simple shelf to mount everything on. DCW upper link risers are installed finally. I had these to install forever and just didn't get to using them. Super Shafty 6mm Wraith outputs are installed. Used a Hot Racing case for now. |

I'm absolutely exhausted. I got back home last night around midnight, I took Monday to spend exploring the area and trying to relax a little. The SWSC comp was awesome, the weather was a beast but I still enjoyed it thoroughly. The TTC was perfect in every way. The weather was amazing, the courses were unbelievable, and the guys running it all had it dialed in. The rig never saw dirt until the very first TTC course, it ran back and fourth on carpet but that was all I'll edit through the hours of video soon, but here are a handful of pictures from the trip. The end of the Frame Twister A screenshot of some of the video! The first time the rig saw dirt! |

The Mini Rubicon was a blast, you can't see how well built the course was in this picture but it was FAR from just a pile of rip rap. The mud pit turned into more of a mud drag. We were almost able to hydroplane across it! Luis and I tied for first on this event. This was after the last event, the Tank Trap. The most amazing single course I've ever ran on. I was insanely happy that I finished. Couldn't have had more fun in under 10 minutes! |

And lastly, a couple pictures from Pioneer Park in St George. After running for awhile I just sat on top of a rock for an hour or two and stared at the view and appreciated my weekend. |

That looks awesome. The start line and course baracades are cool too. Were they lasered steel? -Rob |

Any chance I might be able to get some measurements from you? I like the way you mounted the front light bar, and want to do something similar to my new chassis. Problem is I dont have a lightbar yet and it's scheduled to go out to powdercoating in the next couple days.. Just need the width and how far out the mounting holes are from the posts for clearance.

Can anyone comment on the top speed and crawlability of the 1800KV version of the ROC 412 ? I want a more powerful version of the stock 20T ,and I think the 3200KV is way to fast. I do trails and crawling mostly. |

I agree 3300 is way fast. I have an 1800kv right now and she will rip on 8" rok loks. This is after jumping from a 1200kv. Same torque, just more wheelspeed. Specs say its 33% faster than a 1200....and it feels like it. Runs through batteries about 20% faster. I would run the 1800 on 3s for sure though.
