Looking good John. Hoping we can put our rigs side by side at an event this year and see how things shake out...the DD is a great platform

Well we got another 8-10 inches of snow today.

Just found out they are calling for 6-8 more Tues. into Wed. Electronics should be in this week. Can't wait to try out the Smashed BRminis in this. Thanks to OFFROADRCKOREA, I got an anodized red RR battery tray that I modified to my liking for the front axle.

I guess I can start trimming the lugs.

How are you liking this rig overall compared to your "primary" rig so far?

Crawllife · 02-03-2014, 10:24 PM

This weather is fabulous for testing rigs right... Think we are supposed to get slammed this weekend too. Dig the new batt holder J

winnerone23 · 02-03-2014, 11:27 PM

Lucky SOB! We got 3-4" but not enough to work. Hoping for the 6-8" to hit our way.. I have an addiction to a hobby that keeps me broke!

I have the matching red VP upper links to that bat mount.. very sharp color!

That is a hard thing to say, I am still waiting on the escs, they should be here today. Not that it matters right now everything is buried. Ugh

Start stacking pillows and couch cushions

Tomorrow... I just shipped the orders out yesterday. Mail is Sahllloooowww these days!

Jslick · 02-05-2014, 01:43 PM

Yeah, tomorrow has arrived and so did the mailman with a box of goodness from Holmes Hobbies. I have been waiting to pick up a smashed set of BRminis for sometime. Got them all installed and ready to run, now for it to stop snowing, sleeting and raining.

OFFROADRCKOREA · 02-10-2014, 07:43 PM

The snow is finally starting to melt. I can see the top of my practice area today. Of course they are calling for 3-6in on Wed. I just can't seem to catch a break. As far as the rig goes I am ready to drive. A member of the club I belong to AddictedtoRC1 was kind enough to narrow a set of SILVER OTTSIX VOODOO that I ran last season on my sportsman.

The foams will need a little breaking in to get the crown out of them. I am also running them on a narrow VP wheels with another set of the OTTSIX Black Ice beadlocks.

Here is my trusty rig from last season with the DD.

winnerone23 · 02-23-2014, 08:41 PM

Looks great John! Sucks ur only getting to see the tops of ur rock's.. :/

I have been working away at mine and finally between the rain and couple warmer days, my practice pile is clear. I'm goin to buy a tarp if we have snow coming!
Got down to the local bridge today and got a few packs or so in.. (just to rub it in a little) It felt So good to crawl! ;)

Snow snow go away....

Jslick · 03-15-2014, 03:58 PM

Finally I was able to get out and get some driving in. I have to say that I enjoy the DD chassis. It handles very differently and I know know where I need to tweak it a bit here and there. The smashed BRmini ran well with no issues, the narrowed Silver VOODOO gripped well. I need to limit the rear shocks a bit more and add about an ounce in the front to get it to react the way I want it. The low COG is sick and the chassis still can pull some crazy breakovers. I am looking forward to driving this much more.

Hildy · 03-18-2014, 10:22 PM

Cant wait to see this on the 30th man! I may be running a 1/18th body on my SA this season...that stance is just badd

Glad you are going to make it out. I thought you dropped off the face of the earth.

ram_tough · 03-19-2014, 09:25 AM

Looking good John, lovin the low & mean stance! My berg is all apart from a chassis swap but she should be good for the 30th.

Thanks Paul, it is fun to drive. It is very different from my other 2.2P rig and I still don't know how it reacts in different situations. I am going to have a tough decision which one to run on the 30th.

Jslick · 03-28-2014, 06:37 AM

Go little wheel time in yesterday, it was nice to get out.
We have a comp this weekend but the weather is not looking great. I hope the rain holds off.

This is one of my favorite climbs, the narrowed SILVER VOODOO seem to be biting well.
I have not trimmed any lugs yet. I still need to limit the rear shocks another 5mm.
