Hey guys, if you want to join me and my buddy as we do some of the most fun and hardcore stuff in the Boulder area be at the Einstien Brothers Bagels on Baseline and Hwy 93 at noon on Sat 8/28.

This area is up in the Flat Irons and is not for the faint of heart. In sections a spotter is needed. Steep climbs, big boulders, and even bigger drop offs are to be had! Come one come all! You will not be dissapointed.

Hey man when did you get back into town?

Can't crawl this weekend, I'll be in Cedar City.

BigTex · 08-24-2004, 10:12 PM

Sup guys, I am new here but not to RC's. My name is Wes and I have been lurking here for some time now. I am bustedcrawler's buddy and yes the flatiron course is sick! It kinda reminds me of Moab. Anyways I am will be up there to, piloting my new twin force. I look forward to meeting all of you!

bustedcrawler · 08-24-2004, 11:57 PM

What's up Jason? I got back in Early Wesnday morning. Heard you were looking for me. Never did get any of your mesages though. Gimmie a call man. Good luck this weekend.

DirkDigler · 08-25-2004, 09:47 AM

I should make it.

bustedcrawler · 08-25-2004, 12:50 PM

Sweet, hopefully we can get a good turn out for soe fun Follow me to Certain Death, I mean follow the leader games

Ace · 08-25-2004, 12:52 PM

I'm gonna try. Really need to make progress on my new rig before Crawlstock though.

bustedcrawler · 08-25-2004, 12:59 PM

But it is only one day! Besides this would give you motivation, I think....

Ace · 08-25-2004, 01:00 PM

Is Baseline the road that goes up to NCAR?

bustedcrawler · 08-25-2004, 01:05 PM

I believe so. I will get BigTex to check it out for me. Baseline is how you got to Hwy 36th from CU Campus Area of Boulder. If that helps you out any. If you need to get some better directions I'll pm my number and you can call me.

BigTex · 08-25-2004, 02:04 PM

Baseline is the road that you are on once you exit off 36. If anyone needs directions, feel free to PM me.

Grizzly4x4 · 08-26-2004, 11:53 PM

Hey Bitches

,
I got your message Matt. I am still undecided right now. My wife is busy Sat so I have both kids. I am thinking of taking them with me though.
Besides, I dont know if you really want any of The SuperDuke

.
I got lots of crawlers to build but since I wont get any werk done with the kids I may just go crawlin.
I'll have to give you a call.

bustedcrawler · 08-27-2004, 05:49 PM

Bring it awn!!!!!!!! The Almost Stock TXT will take on Super Duke anyday

Bring the kids man, there is enough room for them to have fun or get lost, lol. I don't mind them. But bring it.....cause now it's on like Donkey Kong!

bustedcrawler · 08-27-2004, 11:20 PM

Griz you better come up, tonite is going to be a Mountian Dew fueled mod fest!!! Chassis will be cut, tires grooved, tranny moved, new body readied, servos moved.....So bring it awwwn. Cause the Almost Stock TXT is ready to take on Super Duke

:P

Trac95ker · 08-27-2004, 11:31 PM

Hey Wes, do you have any pics of your Twin Force? I have one to. I'd like to see what you've done with it.

How many Twin Forces does it take to get a forum?

bustedcrawler · 08-28-2004, 06:28 AM

No pics yet of Wes' truck. It has just now been completed, all stock. Pics will be up later on. Gotta get back to wrenchin on mine.

bustedcrawler · 08-29-2004, 03:38 AM

Well it was a pretty good day. A stock Twin Force with only locked diffs and 15t pinions will work pretty damn well. Can't cay the same for the Almost Stock TXT. Toooo many mods made overnite. So some of them did not work as they should. Have pics, just need to develop and scan.

Dirk, I need links!!!!!! Blew up almost every lower link, and have 2 that are completely unusable. But I love the axle mounted servo, raised tranny, and cut chassis. Just never try to use stock links....It takes a ton of effort to make it work right.

Grizzly4x4 · 08-29-2004, 04:14 AM

Sorry to hear the TXT had problems BC. I am sure you will get them werked out in time for Crawlstock though. Glad to hear the TF werked good though. Again, sorry I couldnt make it. :(
Lookin forward to pics.

bustedcrawler · 08-29-2004, 01:35 PM

Stock links are just too short to work on a cut chassis. THe lowers needed to be shorten a tad to work....but that led to a ton of torque steer, and the links wouldn't take a tapping, so JB weld had to be used to keep the lower links together. Oh well.... Just gotta ake links and she is done.
