It worked great tonight! I made it up hard luck for the 1st time ever. Did it about 6 times. It was a combination of the new chassis with it's low CG and using my new dig setup. I may just have to keep the droop setup. Going to try adding some internal springs tonight. What time do you think you will be out there? Doug was planning on heading out to Concord in the morning and making it back by around noon. I can be there anytime, tomorrow is WFO for me. | |

I'll try to be there by noon, depends on how many shiny things hypnotize me, lol. As for Allspeed, a little tiny patch of rocks are out front. More rocks will appear as time go on, baby steps............pitter-patter..CRUNCH! All I can say for now, we don't want to inundate Wes with a ton of rocks all at once. |

Good meeting you today Yota. I'm on for tomorrow anywhere between 11-12. The new combo has me sitting at 5.56lbs but no MIP shafts. Trying the Traxxas dyke shafts to save weight, MIPs will be in the box just incase. |

Doug, you got any pics from allspeed? I wanted to come by, but I was helping a buddy move his girlfriend into a new place in the city until well after 6pm. Thanks Dima |

No pics of Allspeed. The rock garden is just a big pile right now, no lines. It needs more rock and to be spread out so it could be arranged.

Doug and I built you guys a badass trail today with some pretty nice obstacles. Bridges, climbs, descents and even a spot where you do "50/50 slide/grind". Oh and Doug guessed about a 40 yard length or so. We kinda just linked and linked lines and couldn't stop. I want to say total lenght while not on rock is not more than 5' or so throughout the trail.

"Mini Outter Limits" would be the working name for the new line. It's huge! A few technical spots, a few crazy steep climbs and like Bent said a really fun 50/50 grinder. Some of these huge rocks had 10"-14" gaps between so Bent and I helped to bridge them otherwise they wouldn't be doable. Not to mention Bent's other find behind the bush, no name so far, tough turn, steep climb and hard rock transition, it's one of the clips in DPDsurf's last vid. |

| Some one come up with a name for this...I was thinking death rock awhile ago, but since its something like "lion's back" it should have a reference towards that.

Just got my Lipo's today, and going to pick up my BEC right now. Hopefully by the time you are reading this, I will have a fully functional rig again (I do have to install one more link end too). I have the Cooling fan on order for the ESC as well. Hopefully it will hold up in the COLD south city weather. Dima |
