I've seen 1 about 50 feet this season. Mine at ECC... Before I progressed my first gate of my first course. Major driver malfunction. I finished the entire day though with only a broken servo.

It's great to see you back Austin. See you in a couple weeks!

Fast with the boss claws ,slower with the rovers probably 25 seconds if it goes right......................I got a new and improved money climb way.way,way harder about the same height but alot steeper only got it one time in the past 3 days it really is hard throtle control has to be dead on with some percise steering as well it will be interesting to see if there is more people to make it

I got a video of me making everything but the very last move and it is the easy part but you know how that goes

I am sure you will have the new climb mastered by nationals.

You have to have alot of wheel speed for the first spot 4 sure I will try and get the video up some how

Its about 3 1/2ft extremely steep then you have to re group for the second launch 2 1/2ft then some very technical driving to the top

It may be, my distance is based on others estimations. I am terrified of heights and went nowhere near the edge. It was down into the gorge at the area next to where SDS setup that course at ECC 2011 (closer to parking lot).

I know theres some people that are upset about the change but I say hey go where you need to, to be happy! It was good to meet you in atlanta and honestly I didnt even know that you were who you were lol... glad to meet a person like you that is so humble and still be the man! show them whats up tomorrow and get you another nats win next month, ill be cheering you on from S.C. for sure!

The SA is proof if you build it right.

My one has alot of 50 feets falls and much lager tuble downs in 2012, i drive the same chassie since Shamrock an now issuse.

I bent a SCX 10 shock sligthly and i crashed some CFK Spreades but the chassie is ok.

I think the key is to run spreades between the Shocks. because if you fall direct on 1 wheel there is alot of "torsion load" to the CKF in the shocklocation at the chassie.

and this spreaders are just 1-2 gramms but your rig is proof.

There are other areas to save alot more of weights, and its still proof.

I`m at 3.7LB now without weights and everything VP on

Yea it felt pretty good,the rig is doing great,still having to get use to it in uphill cracks because there is not no where near the same weight and it will dump over backwards alot faster you just have to drive alot different
