I love this history stuff. Keep it coming. After seeing pics of DelMonte's first rig I have an enormous amount of respect for those that competed in the early days. Post some up Jake! Man that dig collar is cool. When will your article publish. I'm all over it. Cheers, J |

Next big move was the electronic switches on Clods. First just disconnecting the rear motor via a short so it was practically locked up, then adding another switch to do the front. That was like, whoa! Then Bergs, the game changer.

That's a lot of SW2's! Sporting pin tires before pin tires were cool.    |

Mashers were the tire until the Moabs came out then that was the first I recall hearing, "whichever tire works best for your terrain". You had to own both to know. Million dollar Moabs... Bender and those pins were a moment, for about one moment. Never caught on. Then Axial dropped the AX-10 bomb on us. |
