Awesome is about the best way to describe that area. Traction is insane and the cliffs are just to my liking
My carnage for the day
steering knuckle
servo
3 traxxas turnbuckles (links)
SW3 chassis prototype (bent but not bad )
3000mah battery
prairie dog

Few pics I snapped today

Ummm, why is there a shock pointing backwards?

A new approch to torque twist?

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention a broken ball end
The shock pointing backwards is going to be the next hot thing. Traditionally the shocks angle from the chassis to the axle but this setup lowers COG and provides a fantastic droop setup

That place looks killer! I may make it back to a comp or GTG when all this new house/move/sell old house stuff is over and settled down a bit. It looks like I missed a good time. Hope to see everyone sometime.

Not with me at the time, I tried calling you but your phone was off.
I looked at Jasons directions and now I know where it is.
I should be able to make it there in 30-45min if I go through Sadelia

You would fall down the hill long before you bound up in that crack. It is a hard climb and a long fall that has already claimed many parts

Thank you DeaDShort!

After driving 666's rig I really, REALLY, REALLY, need to get mine going.




AAaawwww Nick, yous a sneaky one!

I did not realize you got pictures of me driving on Course 3.


Those are some awesome pictures!

For our sakes it is probably be better if you didn't. It is hard enough to be beaten up and down the block by a kids

Seriously though it is about time you started driving in comps
