Quick video from this past weekend.
Open to any constructive criticism, just working with minimal iphone app and youtube capture.

Great video brotha! Lil Griz will be excited to see himself on Youtube.

I've got a question.
I have a friend and his son coming out to the next scale adventure for their first ever RC event. They both have box stock SCX10's so I was going to come out with Class 2 rigs for the next event so I could help them out.

I was thinking about putting SCX axles and 1.9's on Lil Griz's PSC Wraith so he would have something similar to his friend's rig. I know that the Wraith chassis is technically not class 2 legal but would anyone object to him running it?
I don't think there is any chance of him winning due to an advantage. I just can't afford to put together a whole new Class 2 rig for him at the moment. Let me know if this would be a problem. Thanks.

Also wanted to say thank you for setting up this event and everyone for for encouraging my son and helping make his first RC event a success.

His servo horn stripped out on the first lap but he refused to give up, he kept telling me he was going to finish no matter what. We were steering the tires by hand, he was using his tow strap and kept saying "no HOG". He had an amazing day and told me he wanted to become an expert driver.

I have tried for years to get him interested in crawling but it just never took until now. I am so proud and happy now. Without The Crawl Space and the work you put into organizing these events this might never have happened. Thanks again brotha and to all of the RC Crawling community for a day I will never forget.

Thanks Griz! I tried to get a shot of everyone running. I'm glad to hear your boy enjoyed his first event and it helped get him into the hobby its extra awesome for me when the kids get to come out and have fun with the big boys We're all here to help drivers along the course


To answer your question, I won't have a problem with Lil Griz running a 1.9 Wraith. We use the SORCCA class specs as more of a guideline, it mainly comes down to wheel/tire size to make it easy for everyone understand.

Awesome! That makes it easier on me.
We have MORE lightbars on order to get ready for the Haunted Forest event as well. That's where a chunk of my money just went.....

Looking forward to more events with you.

I'm working hard to have the rigs ready for this one. Looking forward to seeing this spot. Seems like it should be awesome.

I remember that place....

Time for some Chicago Forks redemption sailor

[Grizzly4x4]

I missed Chicago Forks last year because of the flood. I don't think that will be a problem this year.

Almost ready to go!
