I can't believe that was 4 years ago, I still remember when Bastard made the original Hustler proto thing.
You wouldn't happen to have the picture of the Super Hustler sidehilling? The one where it just snakes around.. I've been trying to find it.

When I get home I'll find that pic I was taking in that pic.

That was a great rig, one of my favorites that bastard came up with. Also notice the R2 tranny and the GWS 2215-12 Outrunner that he was testing for John.

Star cut with a channel in the middle for the ball bearings or airsoft pellets we'd use for weight could have a channel to roll around in and stay on the bottom.

I remember debeading a glued up 2.2 tire on a climb and having this pretty waterfall of stainless ball bearings cascading down the hill.

I remember that day. It was the day bender was supposed to retire from competing. Also know as the day he was beat by a tuber I can still remember him saying they day I get beat by a tube is the day I quit competing. I still have that rig torn apart in a box some were might have to restore it some day.

Did it eventually flop over (that's what she said) or did it keep going? I love seeing all these old pics of crawling rigs, to know where you're going you have to know where you've been

I took that picture. I just used a Canon S1 IS, nothing special.

The 2nd and 3rd pics are of it after the pic Bender took, I'm pretty sure bastard drove out of that situation.
