What a blast today was!!!!
I took a ton of pictures and will get some posted here in a little while. Got home to a flat tire on the work truck and had to get that fixed before morning. Going to sit down and relax for a while.
I did look to see what happened to the motor after it quite working in the mud/water and I lost a brush. I took it apart and had another bad Titan motor and should be able to fix it.

Man Mike that sucks, there would have been some great footage from you cameras today. I hope that you can find a way to get the footage.

Really sorry to hear that Mike, I hope there is some way to save that great footage. If not, at least we were there to live it.

Thanks everyone for a killer day. I didn't realize how much I needed to get back and hang with you guys. I really enjoyed seeing everyone again!! Thanks for everyone for showing up and for helping put things together.
No doubt the late nights were worth it to make the event.

Thanks to Holmes Hobbies for that wicked 7T puller that made a mockery of the truck pull. A big thanks to Team RCCrawler, TCS Crawlers, Montana Scale Designs, Vanquish Products, and Reign RC for the best parts and support you could ask for.

I went through them last night, its going to take me a little bit to go through and edit them. On a sad note Patrick flung a big chunk of mud on my lens at one point so about 200 of the photos have a big smug on them.

Its kinda funny though there are a couple photos in sequence where you can actually see the mud flying toward my lens.
