The new one is nice. If I could get it, I would sell (try at least) this one in a heart beat.

We had our second local comp of the season.. And.. Another second place finish for this rig.. All i need to do is learn how to drive the thing It far exceeds my knowledge of how to drive a pro rig. The only thing that helps me through is my knowledge of driving a course. The potential this rig has is rediculous. And i cannot wait to fully unleash it

During a practice session last week I cracked one of my wheel faces on a 30ft end over end tumble ... I contacted Tomi that same night and he replaced it without hesitation. I received the package today, and to my delight he sent me four complete faces! Once again he pulled through with awsome customer service.

Over the weekend I didnt want to have to worry about the wheel in the comp. I knew it would make it through.. but I didnt want to chance it. Sooo on went my slw's and rovers from my ax10. The rear wheels had the perfect offset for the front of the xr so thats what went on. It was a pita to change wheels from rig to rig between courses but I made it through. I do have to say that rovers up front and pins in the rear really is not a bad combo, and it gave me equal traction throughout the day

And finally! We got some video! I have to say thanks to Adam for bringing his camera.. Not the best run.. not horrible i guess... Lmk what you guys think



Oh.. if someone could embed the video.. that would be appreciated

Well,, I ran a couple packs through the rig this weekend and I must say it is running cherry right now. This chassis just amazes me! I have not done any tuning or placement changing and it performs just how I like. I have messed with the preload on the shocks a little, but that is all

The mail man was nice enough to bring me some new wheels and hubs today.. Now I just have to get them modded and glued up to the fresh mullet combo i have.. Next comp is in two weeks, So it gives me plenty of time to break in the tires and do a few little things. Since I have room between the NCD knuckle weight and the wheel face, I am planning on spacing the weight out a little in hopes to gain a little more stability.

Also looking for some new batteries... I have my eye on some 325mah.. and they would fit perfect on the NCD plate up front, and save me about 8grams over the 430mah batteries I currently run..

I'll get some pics up over the next couple days of the tires and wheels. I cant wait to see how they look mounted up

325mAh??? I wouldn't go that low if I were you. I've watched more than one driver run outta juice running their 450 packs on a 6 minute course. All it takes is getting stuck on your lid & trying to rock her back onto her feet full throttle. I still run 850 mAh packs but have my eye on something a little smaller but POWERFUL.

I can't believe you laughed at me as my rig was going to gate 10 and ran out of juice. So rude!

Yeah.. 325mah.. I have looked at what I use in a course over the last few weeks.. Even the longest course all I used was 204mah.. I finish 6 minute courses in 3-4 minutes.. I want to get a few and try them. I just dont see the need for 430mah if I only use 150 to 200 of that, but what do I know...

I hadn't either until the courses started to get a little longer (still 6 minutes) and you get in multiple binds. That eats up those little packes pretty quickly. I still had over a minute left on the clock when my pack died.

And you're rude too for laughing at me. Now I'm going to hijack your thread with stupid pictures.

I'll definitely keep the 430mah packs handy... Just wanna try the smaller ones.. Might get the 325's for practice and keep the 430mah's for comps

Haha.. thanks man. That picture is great!
