| Just went through my rig & it is much better!!  Well, I guess part of the confusion in this thread was my fault. Picking on Tom a bit as my truck couldnt even get on the rock!! Nice trip to Beales last weekend. Great weather, lots of rocks & Bikini's too! Don't think I am going to Bean this weekend. I just dumped another couple hundred in the P.O.S & still running shake-down runs on it. I got some Lunsford titanium upper turnbuckles & rebuilt the upper link arms front & back. Got some HPI Racing all alluminum shocks & ditched the stock TLT's. I put more weight in the wheels & cut down my wheels a bit. Made some Traxxas drive lines. My 65t lathe motor should be here today or tomorrow. I turned the battery back to sideways over the front axle. I now have 12.5" wheel base - 10.5" wide - 4" center ground clearance & it weighs approx. 8lbs. Hope to see you guys out at Beales on the 31st! Heathin  |

Won't be making it out to the Bean this weekend. I just have WAY to much to do with being sick all week. Bill/Heath, I might be up for some crawlin' up in your neck of the woods. I really enjoy the creek up there. If you are up for it, let me know. Also, Bill... If you feel up to it and can snag that code reader, I would love to see what has my tranny all out of whack. Let me know. |

Check your quote, he who wants to crawl in Underroos...  I am feeling (mostly) better but being sick pretty much since Sunday evening and having both my daughters sick with the same (Strep, sinus infection and ear infection, gotta love day care) a lot of stuff got backed up. Also, yesterday was my 10th anniversary. Wifey and I want to do a date night (afternoon) on Saturday and that has to take presidence over the Bean. So to you too! LOL!(On a completely side note, I really thought it was cool of you to let all those people try driving your crawler. Not something I have the courage to do. )

| My rig still stinks like nasty creek water !  Well, I went to the hobby shop for a Hitec 133oz metal gear servo today & I got the 65t lathe motor as well. Locked out the rear & did away with the rear steer. I am having an issue with it turning, It will turn right pretty good, just not left. It will go to the left kind of drifting. I have had it apart & back together again 4 times now !!!! *&#$@&%!)*&*^ SO you could say I am a lil bit frusterated aat the moment. I am sure I will figure it out. Here is the latest as of tonight with ALL the new stuff installed.  Kevin, come on over & crawl in the creek. Bill & I found a new spot we like at my place as well. It is very challenging & lots of really good rocks with moss on them. Tom & ALL that are going to the comp this weekend - GOOD LUCK !!! Heathin Last edited by HEATHIN; 03-23-2007 at 11:03 PM.

Tomorrow is about the only day I can come play... IF I make it out (which I don't see as a problem) I will take a look at your steering, I think your axel might be clocked up too much. Also looks like you have a ton of GC... Might want to lower it down a tad.

| 1 Week Away!
OK Everyone... 1 week from today we meet up for some fun! When: Saturday, March 31st at 11:00 am Where: Beals Point State Park, Folsom Lake The weather should be nice and warm so we can BBQ and make an afternoon out of it. We will meet at the far end of the parking lot, meet each other, then start crawling sometime around 11:30. We have no rules or structure, just fun. I am bringing cones to set up a couple unofficial courses for some friendly competition, no judges, just hecklers. If anyone has ideas, than just do it! I am repairing and getting ready and hope to see you all out there. Click for map: http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp...0Point&qc=Cape --Tom Last edited by 1tom2go; 03-24-2007 at 10:26 PM. |

I was there for support and pit crew for Tom, ( crawler construction taking place ) just could'nt finish my crawler in time to use it for the bean. Halfcab let me do the post comp trail runs with his comp rig while he drove his scaler, ( thanks again ) and boy let me tell you, this was one capable mother. I drove it for a good 2 hrs or so as we traversed the beach in scale fashion playing follow the leader ( fun ) , but unfortunately had to leave when we remembered the remaining 3 hr drive home. Pics to come | |

| BBQ sounds awesome!
Tom, Let me know what I should bring? Couple bags of chips , maybe some salsa? Everyone should post up so we have this lil pot luck bbq crawl kickin!! I tried to lower down the truck not only to rotate the axle for better steering but also to lower "CG" It is like 1:00am sunday morning & I have been workin on the P.O.S!! for hours. I am going to bed so I can get up & run it! Here is how it sits as of now.  Hope you guys had a blast at the comp!! We had a ton of fun in my creek on our 10 acres of rocks. Kevin has some great picks of us climbing up a slow running waterfall! Heathin Last edited by HEATHIN; 03-25-2007 at 02:10 AM. Reason: missed something in there |
