Default Eddieveddar and 1BJBs scale run at sag harbor (56k will die)

Its not to often I actually run my stuff but since I found a new local friend who is into the hobby we decided to venture out east to a spot he had found. Here are a couple of my favorite shots, I took over 200 pictures.

We started the day heading down sunrise high way when we spotted a turtle, we knew he would be a pancake if we didnt save him so he scooped his ass up and put him in the back with the crawlers as we were driving we heard alot of crunching and scratching but it turned out he was just crawling on Bobs trailfinder hilux We released him at animal sanctuary.





started off wheeling the Heeps


Bob's truck works very wheel for running on the cc01 chassis, its geared a little high but I think I got him convinced on a gd600 reduction unit


My Jeep did very well, except for that fact that I didnt shave the bottom of the tlt axles and the lower mounted steering drag link caught everything, so the steering stabilizer has to go










After we wheeled the Jeeps, we took out the Yotas







After the Yotas
We wheeled my stockish wrangler and Bob'd wheeled his Datsun









and this last pic finished off the memory card


Had a lot of fun, this week were gonna braze up some armor for Bob's Yota

O and here is his vid of a climb he did



Thanks for looking
-Mike

They are for me, but I dont drive like you do I wheeled it pretty good today though and had no problems. The clearance with them is awesome compared to the tlt axles

Yes the chassis worked very well, I ran a small 1500 lipo that I won at scale nats from maxamps so there wasnt any part of the truck that was particularly heavier which made for a nice balanced rig. the rc4wd shocks kicked ass as well because this thing had no torque twist since I was able to preload the one side. Overall I am very happy with the way the Jeep turned out. And yes, it is certainly nice to have someone else to wheel with.

For sure dude, if we make the body mounts like mine you can copy my link geometry and itll be a nice easy build.
