It seems that positive reinforcement has worked for Tom and getting him to put more than 5 min. into his paint job. even though we all know it looks like Poooo and needs trimming we still need to tell him it looks cool.
It's no Monster buggy, but it doesn't make you want to puke like the Hummer body.

Default stick

I still have been reading non-stop just about 24hours still and even though I started out not liking the stick types too much they seem to be the most competitive.

I was hoping to find something with a suspension that was just as competitive so I could also bash a little with it but the only other ones I narrowed my choices down to are the hustler for 2.2 or a tube chassy I saw someone was making that looks like the hustler.

Anything else I'm missing? That axial looks cool too but I wonder when its coming out.

Also put on another bid for this which I know I wont win at this price but its something else I'm looking getting into.

stick style chassis are great for break over type obstacles and vertical climbs, but no stick or torsion chassis has ever won a nor-cal comp that I can think of for the past 2.5 years I have been in to this, benders chassis are really good and the j2tt is really good there is the rbx and the p4 also, sticks don't make for good bashers either, unless you are bashing on your little brother

Where can find information on the rbx and p4? And so the j2-tt is competitive with things like the pimp cane and hustler?

there is a button at the top of the page that says search, it has magic in it that helps find the answers to most all of your questions

the top 5 2.2 were all different chassis, 1)sw3, 2)home built custom, 3)p4, 4)sw2, 5)j2-tt

NICE GOING TOM!!! You started it when you wanted to stop it. Now nobody will see how badly i kicked all your buts. The other video is downloading now.
I just got back from 3 days on the Rubicon with Manwhalo! I will have to read through all the BS and see what the interesting stuff is you've all been posting...like this video I shot for Norcal. HEHE You suck, I never even saw you leave the starting gate! I am a natural! I'll post up rock racing results soon.
