Not to step on your toes guys. But you might want to let me know where you guys are crawling on Sundays so I don't plan a crawl in the same place you guys are going, to avoid conflict and over loading a crawl spot.

There would be no conflict Tony...they are toy trucks and if anyone goes further than that they should probably get out of the hobby. I just worry about pissing off the other patrons on the trails with all the rigs/people in the way. When spring finally gets we need to join forces and hit the mountain trails...I don't worry about patrons up there cause it's National Forest and people can deal with it cause we're in the ok. In the mean time we'll keep and eye on where you guys go and go from there...

On a side note...round some guys up for the Scale Series Comp @ Red Rocks it's gonna be worth the drive. Plus we need some more southern support!

Class 1,2,3 probably not going to be as aggressive as buffalo Creek but not easy either. Starts @10 on March 23 a Sunday. $5 per rig. Lmk if you wanna car pool. 2013 SORRCA Scale rules

I was a really cool section for sure. The bottom was a little tricky, but after the canyon carving it tuned out to be a good challenging line.

Well I don't know about you guys, but I'm getting excited about The Crawl Space Scale comp on Sunday @ Red Rocks. I'll be running class 1 and 2 for sure. The Sawback did so awesome at the trail comp it got bumped up to be my class 2 rig. I know it'll probably get slapped around, but I'll give her hell. I didn't do much to it besides put the Proline SS TSL XL's on. Well see how it goes....


The TF2 "PaPrika" will be my class 1 of course. It's still in the "tuning" stages but after I get some good C1 legal tires from TCS Sunday morning I should be good to go. No pics it's getting some help lol.

So if you plan on going get them rigs wrapped up and ready to do some work.

Looks good Don^^^ she needs a bath tho!

Well I went and did some more testing, and found that the Proline SS TSL XL tires were to tall and had sub par grip...compared to the Proline 1.9 Flatirons. The half inch was making the rig behave way different so I opted to run the Flatirons for the Scale comp. Still debating on running the D90 also I just don't want to run the same class twice lol. TF2 is primed and ready for it's new tires and it's a go.

Nice and low with killer grip...

I got some sets of tires laying around that I don't use anymore so I your interested in a set of 1.9's let me know....NO 2.2 action here!

If you plan on going in the carpool up to the Red Rocks comp know that we'll be leaving very early to help setup courses...early being 6:30ish

I suppose that means even earlier for me haha. I would say bring the d90 to kinda show it off, i probably wouldnt run it if you run the tf2
